For starters The "algorithm" isnt really a computer driven algorithm, its information that was mined from folks like myself and other field investigators who used to be friends with the folks on the show. IMO, there is a migration that can be tracked but its not like the migration of buffalo or other large species that can be hit with pinpoint accuracy. Much of it depends on then berries come on, clean water availability, other animals being driven to water like reptiles and amphibian breeding seasons, mushroom availability, and the rut seasons for deer, all, and moose. The rut is the most predictable of all of these, berry failure can influence the move and habitation of an area, mushroom flushes hit at various times through the entire year. So the migration, at least in the east is quite erratic and has seasonal variations to moving patterns. For example, we have one location that is hot only durring the rut, and another that yields some activity now-may then it dies off till August when the rains and mushroom flush start to kick off. That location has reported activity all the way into December.

You wood knock three times.....

....twice on a rock if the answer is no.

SQUATCHMATCH: "ISO single female. You: Must be covered in hair, at least 6' tall and weigh less than 700 lbs, feet not too big, not afraid of heights or caves, likes berry picking and chasing down deer. Me: Rugged, predator type who is considered handsome and rather buff by many in a blurry sort of way. Likes swimming, walks in the woods, occasional bluff charging, and travel. Has winter home on the coast and is an excellent nest builder. Interested in a noncommittal relationship with someone to rendezvous with late at night for howling, tree knocking and quiet strolls down parallel paths in the moonlight. Could lead to more with the right companion. Are you the one? "BuffSquatch""

They upload profiles on sasqmatch.com although profile photos always come out blurry, so that's a problem. Seriously though, many researchers think that family groups migrate around, so it's possible there's some meeting and mingling happening that way.

Question the assumptions of the .. question. In other words, does bigfoot have to do anything extraordinary to find a mate? If they are wood knocking, vocalizing back and forth, if we are finding various sizes of tracks together, it would suggest they are not alone. The mixture of sizes of tracks sometimes found together suggest different ages and possibly different sexes. The reported gatherings ... would provide an opportunity for those not normally in the same area to meet. Most likely, even if they aren't part of the same clan / group, groups that occasionally occupy the same area probably know much about the others' travels, locations at different times. So ... maybe we're imagining a challenge for that that does not actually exist. MIB

I don't know, but i suspect once they do, they are mates for life. No sound reason, just a hunch.

Dogs had no association with Neanderthal BECAUSE they were helping HUMANS hunt for food. Not Neanderthals! Until you make that distinction? We cannot have a serious debate. Either your being purposely obtuse or you simply cannot grasp the concept. Also, to answer your question are dogs responsible for agriculture or the wheel? Does agriculture rely on domestication of wild animals? Do we pull wheels with domesticated animals? Do you think that domesticating Dogs 40,000 years ago was a paradigm shift in human behavior to see animals value other than food? Of course. The Dog is the first of many many species. Also, the more successful you are at hunting? The more time you have to tinker with things that make your life even easier. Which becomes snowball effect.

I'm pretty sure the Milwaukees are all 18V, they just have a large 12.0 Ah battery. We started putting using them at work, and admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised. We really only use them for few and small cuts (topping power poles). I still prefer gas, but I doubt you'd be unhappy with them for your purpose. The battery costs almost what the saw does.

@BobbyO sure thing

Yup. And I also worked on Lord of the Rings.

I have to say I am quite enjoying this series. I think it's fair to say there is a decent amount of 'TV production' to the series and there is a little bit of ramping up the drama but I find the primatologist and the survival guy quite likeable and believable. Now I know there are obviously embellishments to the story and so on but do we think the evidence such as footprints and thermal images they turn up are real? The primatologist seems quite sincere and genuinely to be unnerved in an episode recently.

The best part is that he spammed with a dead link and you had to come in with the assist. So, technically that makes you a co-spammer. I kid.

Bingo! Finally a good objection. No, there is none to answer your question, this is just my theory based on all other northern species vs. domestic and southern species. I mention it because it is a theory which can be tested and researched. We have the sapiers and Neanderthal genomes. I would do it this way. The Neanderthal condition should still be present but only in very, very low frequency. Women suffering from infertility could be tested and an effort to find a genetic basis found (of course there are many causes so the group would have to be large). Then this basis could be compared with the Neanderthal genome to see if there is a match.

I find the show, the production style and the actors to be really boring. I have also peeked in on some interviews and podcasts with this cast. I don't think it registers with the Bigfoot audience that seemed to enjoy finding bigfoot. Nothing going on here except an attempt to be "a" show but I doubt the viewers numbers are up.

You forgot the link. There is no association between UP humans and dogs. You have three maybe-dogs, no DNA. You forgot the link showing any widespread association between UP humans and dogs over Eurasia at that time. You are right, there is no association between dogs and Neanderthals which was your theory. They lived at vastly different times and vastly different places. Modern dogs are 15, 000 years old, period. Paleo dogs are a maybe. If they ever were, they promptly went out of existence. There is no evidence for them outside one French river valley. This means not in the next French river valley, not in a Spanish river valley, not in a German river valley, not in an English river valley (there was no English Channel then), not in the Ukraine, not in the Near East, not in the Far East, not in Southern Asia. There is no evidence for them over the range of Aurignacian culture or Perigordian culture, Grevettian culture or Soutrean culture, or Magdelenian culture. No evidence for them in the Mesolithic. There is only spotty evidence for them in the Neolithic and find some Neolithic dogs in Europe while you are looking. Your reasoning is if a dog was present, there is a causal relationship for anything or everything---anything you want to make up. Are dogs responsible for agriculture? Are dogs responsible for the wheel? Your argument died in 1997 as I mentioned with the sequencing of mtDNA for dogs at UCLA. It wasn't even sophisticated by our standards now. Apply the molecular clock and it is 15,000 years old. Any previous dogs are an extreme theory which, as Carl Sagan said, requires extreme proof. You have none for any of your changing positions. Norseman, when you have some proof linking dogs to Neanderthal extinctions or widespread dogs in the Upper Paleolithic, PM me. Otherwise, this is just a waste of time.

This is another one of those questions for which if we knew the answer, we could just walk out and touch bigfoot. Do they just bump into members of the opposite sex while out and about? Is there some sort of organized exchange? Do they come together regionally for some sort of bigfoot jamboree? How much do they rely of kidnapping human women or do they? For some of these methods they would have to travel. Usually, migratory patterns are just that, patterns, and someone could meet them on one of these treks for an interview. How do they do it?
