Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Where do bigfoots go in the Winter? Do they recede into the surrounding hills or do they move to southern areas? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17x7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cancun? Here in the Pac NW we don't have severe winters so you can walk a few miles and drop a few thousand feet in elevation. This takes you out of the severe cold and into the foothills where there is food. 17x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This takes you out of the severe cold and into the foothills where there is food. 17x7 I agree with a lot of this. I have a feeling it would be very easy for Bigfoot to find shelter during the cold months. Somebody actually made a report back a few months ago about a ton of sightings and the linearity of reports and the pattern of which they were seen during specific seasons and winter.

Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It depends on the area. On the Olympic Peninsula, a days hike would take biggie to a nice forest overlooking a clam beach, lonely and loaded with food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeG Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Remember the report of the road-kill elk being dragged away by a sasquatch a few weeks ago? It was minus 30 or something at the time. So it will be lack of food, rather than the cold, which would induce any seasonal movements, it seems. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are bigfoot, they go where the food is. They do like other animals or humans, or they go home in their spaceships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BFSleuth Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I agree that they are going wherever there is a food source and safe shelter. That BF that dragged off the elk road kill was in a very harsh environment, but likely following the herds (this was on the east side of the Rockies). Wherever the herds go for winter, I think BF would follow. It will depend on the regional environment. Here in the PNW the herds go lower in elevation in the winter, plus at lower elevations there is low or no snow cover in the winter and there is an abundance of seafood and seaweed, roots, leaves, etc. all through the winter. However, in regions like the upper midwest they would need to endure really cold conditions through winter. Look up the new Northern Minnesota trackway find on Facebook FindBigfoot. They are certainly out and about, covering a lot of terrain in deep snow and harshly cold conditions. I think the bottom line is their bodies are adapted to really cold conditions, they thrive in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow, people seem to forget how rare and elusive this creature must be to even have a shot at being real. It is 2012! Thinking they roam around freely as the seasons change in NA is just not feasible. If they are not living in totally isolated remote areas of the PNW, or other limited areas of western NA, they do not exist (unless they have some way of surviving in the northern boreal forests through winter...er...like Moose). I personally think it is PNW on up or bust. Eastern NA is a non starter (for me), no way they would remain unphotographed or not be captured on video or something by now (I'm talking good clear video). The numbers of hunters out there on the opening day of hunting season alone would make the Sasquatch old news. I can't believe a logical thinker could step back and look at the reality of forest use and the number of people using the forests recreationally in most of the US and think something like the Sasquatch could exist but remain un-catalogued by science. Maybe, just maybe, in some really isolated forests but highly unlikely IMO. Anyway, just thinking aloud, I'll go back to reading along. Cheers PS I'm not trying to offend any Eastern folks, just my own theory. PNW on up and nocturnal...or bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The reason I brought up this question is that here in the Northeast, 75% of sightings coincide with the harvest. August thru November and maybe early December. Then little or no activity. I do think that is because there arn't much people out there in winter to see them. Sightings SEEM to cluster around the farming communities. But why the drop off? Are they way up in the highest of elevations where the Winter deer yards are?

Guest BFSleuth Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Gigantor posted a very good analysis of correlation between elevation and time of year on this thread: While there is correlation between season and elevation, there are the occasional anomolies, meaning that BF have been seen at higher elevations in deep snow conditions in the PNW. Part of this is simply a function of the fact that most people don't go into the high mountains in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Interesting little map here: http://public.tablea...erID=0&:tabs=no Haven't played around with it more than to look at seasonal variances of the reported VA/WV/NC sightings...here, they look to form what look like pockets for overwintering, in my speculative estimation.

Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 They don't go anywhere in the South or mid West, year around food supplies no problem and close to towns and residences as well as remote areas. I could imagine in the big rocky mountains they may do elevation changes for food opportunities but in my areas they are fine, mild winters. I don't believe in any migration theories for sasquatch. Their normal "routes" within their troop territories likely provide a variety of seasonal and year around food supplies including the robbing of feed from barns , farms crops, deer feeders (corn) etc.. Besides deer and hogs you have fish, turtles, freshwater mussels, roots, nuts, fruit etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BFSleuth Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 There have been quite a few sighting reports, stories and legends, etc. that have a link between BF and caves. They may use these as very effective shelters in winter months. While they must have a much stronger constitution than humans, they also must in some way seek (or make) shelter.

Guest Bipedal Ape Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 no shelters have ever been found. where does a 9 foot creature hide? how does it always know where humans are and stay just out of range? how does a creature do this AND raise its young?
