Back on topic, always interesting The late great Branco started this one way back and included a lot of information about feeding behaviors and geographic patterns, at least in the South where he documented BF a great deal.

My Bigfoot sighting was along the Missouri River in Nebraska. I've been hit by a rock in Iowa. I have other possible experiences in Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Oh wait - you were talking about big planes. I thought you meant plains. Never mind...

Well it certainly doesn’t bode well for the person in Illinois claiming a family of Sasquatch live on his 50 acre wood lot all year long. But I don’t think they are that populous. And also that their activities probably fall through the cracks and are attributed to something else. Lastly? If they are as smart as say an Orangutan? Orangutans pick locks, know sign language and can paddle a boat. Surely Sasquatch could be rather cunning. And they probably know that sustained contact with humans is unhealthy. So they stay nocturnal, take only what they need and keep moving.

Another feature of coastal range is that the sea provides all kinds of sustenance like seaweeds, mollusks, and fish as regularly as the tide, all winter long.

This is what bothers me. First, FWIW, I made a chart for my own edification comparing biological facts about common animals. As I got all of this information off the web, I am certain that it is highly accurate & not subject to question. Somewhere, I found an estimate that Cro-Magnon, Neaderthals, and paleo-Indians required 4,800 calories per day and moose required 9,700 calories per day. The data I found for other large animals is just in poundage - 10-20 pounds of food per day for elk, 30 pounds per day for grizzly bears, 35 pounds for black bears(?), and 30-45 pounds for gorillas. What bothers me is that if Bigfoot is an omnivore, and if Bigfoot is as populous in the eastern US as some believe, why aren't they eating farmers out of house and home? Deer do it, groundhogs do it, foxes and coyotes prey on chickens, and such ... why wouldn't a bigfoot settle down near a nice big corn or potato or squash field and simply strip mine it for a day or two, then move on. That problem occurs with other biological animals, why doesn't it occur with Bigfoot?

Netflix has the Last interview with her. It was designed for her to have it viewed after her death. It is pretty good. Not bigfoot related, but interesting.

The mountains and inland plateaus of BC get heavy accumulations of snow, but the coastal valleys only get a few snow days a year, usually followed by enough rain to melt it away quickly. Most sightings in BC, Wa. and Ak. occur in those coastal valleys. The only Sasquatch trackway I ever found was in late spring snow, crossing a pass over a ridge between two river valleys. I believe they stay below the snowline as much as possible, just as the majority of big game does.

Elite body builders in the 1970's world would eat 5,000 a day. These guys trained nearly daily. The output of their 'work' to me would equal or way exceed what Bigfoot would put out in a given day in Bigfoots world. That's just my guess as a max for reasonable estimate. Yes, these guys weighed under 250lbs back in the 1970's Gold's Gym era of weightlifting. I would think Bigfoot would only be as active as Bigfoot needs to be. Bigfoot would rest often and essentially be a couch potato until food, reproductive needs, or whatever motivated Bigfoot. Skeptics are skeptics because these reasonable points about Life Support make them skeptics. We should expect if bigfoot is as common as some say, we should have more of these sightings in trash cans, and so on. Trash cans tend to exist in towns and cities vs out in the middle of nowhere. Many have security cameras and Ring doorbells. The most likely reason to explain this must be Bigfoot are few in number, live in massively remote areas, and are shy to human activity. I don't know how credible Bigfoot sightings are when all over the country. Many are just in unlikely places and unlikely regions. I am sure they see something just not bigfoot. If Bigfoot was in all these areas the trash cans would be raided, the farms would be raided, and so on. Bigfoot being near extinct is a better explanation vs attributing ninja skills to bigfoot to explain it. If you bet on finding Bigfoot, you would bet on the PNW more so than downtown NY City.
