Guest BFSleuth Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I just did a search regarding the topic of migration. There is a thread dedicated to the topic that would be ideal for continuing the discussion here. Might be worthwhile to post something new in the thread to bring it back to the front, as we do have a number of newer members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDL Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 In underground nesting, the water table also has to be taken into account. It would be nice to have a little hollow in the back of the den that fills with water, but I wouldn't think they'd want it too wet, which also brings up the issue of drainage when there is precipitation. They'd probably simply choose locations with good draainage that are above the water table. Does anyone remember the decomposed stumps that they reported on the BFRO? This is one of the things that makes me consider midden, or compost, heating. If a stump were used as the basis for a compost heap and the shelter built around it in the winter, the stump would decay due to bacterial action, with the softer components being eaten away more quickly than the harder components. Later, after the shelter has been deconstructed, the stump would remain, but be very porous, and the bacteria would continue to act on the remaining hard components during the warm months, until it finally crumbles into a pile of rotted shreds. I seem to recall that someone had video, or a picture at least, of a conical structure built of wood that was emitting a plume of steam, but no smoke from any obvious fire. An active compost pile could have produced this effect by vaporizing precipitation from a light rain or during a spring thaw. A family group could construct a few of these structures near a deer yard during the winter and use each intermittently. The compost pile would require only periodic tending and would probably attract small animals seeking warmth when the bigfoot are elsewhere. Snacks.

Guest Guest of Sasquach Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have often heard somewhat vague references to Sasqutch sleeping in caves and the occasional time the 'living underground' theory surfaces; but I want to know from folk how much research and understanding do we have on Sasquatch nesting in trees? We know gorillas and chimps do it and it makes sense to keep off the damp forest floor. If there are plenty evergreen trees around the foliage should provide excellent all year round cover. Does this seem plausible? Is there major reasoning against this that I have overlooked? Sasquach are not primates, Bigfoot or Sasquach are Human, directly related to The American Indian... There was a time long ago when they might have been something else, but for a very long time Sasquach has lived with or very close to the american indian tribes... From time to time, sasquach would kidnap indian madens for sex, and the bore Bigfoot childeren, now you can't cross a monkey with a man and get a human child... YES, sasquach do use Caves , and Cavern systems to avoid inclement weather and as short cuts in getting from point A to point B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BastetsCat Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 In my observations I tend to think that they travel in large groups... hunker down in an area as a family unit. From there the Hunters go out and Hunt maybe on a daily basis, maybe for weeks at a time. In smaller groups from one to several individuals. The gatherers go out and gather again in smaller groups. They claim an area and use it up for their purposes. Then they move on to a new area Hunker down as a large group and start over again. The ones that are seen are the ones that are out wandering hunting and gathering. In my opinion like in the Ostman report from the 40's they can travel many many miles away from the tribe/troup/group. If this happens to be in a cave then all the better. In my opinion they might stay in a base camp for several years or for a few months depending on the available food, discovery by outsiders, and whim. Or they might migrate from one to another more often; like a summer range and a winter range. Depending on climate, and the movemet of prey animals. I have thought about this for a long while as a possibility to explain what I have witnessed. Strangely enough this is exactly what many tribes of Native Americans did. The question is do they leave behind more permanent evidence of their existence. It is a human trait to make art, tools, and express deeper needs. In a sense throwing rocks is using tools. If you were to repel down a cliff into a secluded pocket that they maybe used a year ago and abandoned and were looking would we be able to recognize sign that they were there?

yowiie Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I will post a pic of a bed/ nest structure I found here in Australia, shortly / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Has anybody ever come across what they think may be a nest in a tree? If so, what was it like and do you know the type of tree? Also can anybody say with certainty they have come across a cave that they believe and possibly saw some evidence of bigfoot habitation?

Spader Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You know, when search party's are sent out to look for a missing person, or one is just out and about in the woods. No one ever looks up.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) That is what I'm driving at really, it seems consistent with a forest dwelling mammal with the ability to climb to spend time in the canopy Pot holing is not something I could handle but wondering if there are any 'pot holing BF researchers'? An assest to any expedition I would imagine Edited December 9, 2012 by kezra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiefoot Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) As to the OP, I say yes, at least some use trees some of the time. I have been watching a group for 5 years and have seen anecdotal evidence that the younger ones and small females spend time resting in trees and the young ones playing in the trees. They disguise their nests well and the trees are difficult to get underneath to look up and see anything out of the ordinary. Some of the sub adults use trees for observation. They seem to prefer very big Cotton Woods here and the building materials are likely Osage Orange which is very tough and strong. I have pondered whether the larger stick structures people find are just stored building materials. Stacked so they won't rot. Other than long distance photos and some observation from a distance I can't back up my findings. You can dismiss this as fantasy if you choose just please don't demand proof because I dont't have it, it would take some extraordinary video which I don't have and I can't figure out how to get it without the possibility of running them off. These are just what I call soft conclusions, something I think is going on, but don't have hard evidence to back it up. Just concider these all opinions.
