Guest Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Let me regurgitate one point in my discussions with my friends.... 745 million acres of forest plus Canada's 450 million acres of forest equals 1.1 billion acres total which equals a lot of area to stay hidden. Which also equates to eighteen thousand three hundred and thirty three (18,333) acres per one Sasquatch for a population of six thousand Sasquatch (6000). Correct me if my mathematics are wrong.

norseman Posted February 17, 2013 Admin Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) How does BF remain so well hidden? What methods do they use to hide? They are smarter than ordinary forest animals so what advanced hiding methods might they use to fool us? Bigfoots are seen rarely which makes them difficult to video. How do they do it? Are they so rare that they are seldom seen? How could they retain a breeding population if rare sightings are due to low populations? I'm not convinced that they do stay well hidden. People see them all the time. I guess a person has to decide how many of those sightings are real and how many of those bogus or misidentifications.

adam2323 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The main reason is you dont have very many TRUE woodsman/hunters out specifically looking for them. Get a good dedicated group of these types with a well laid out plan in WA or Vancouver Island for three weeks with unlimited resources and weapons and you solve the mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV FOOTER Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Bigfoot(s) are Like Ninjas. They can move very quietly, along with their other senses, apart from knowing their surroundings like the back of their hand. That, accompanied by being very intelligent adds up to one hard to find creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reptileman Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I ran the first paintball game in the US back in the early 80s. We held the games in a 30 acre forested property, and with nominal camo, could never be found, and even had people on hundreds of occasions withing feet of me without knowledge I was there. Sometimes I was even in open areas, and as long as I remained motionless, they would walk by as if I was not there. That is me with the rifle.

This is an important point and it has to do with poor observation skills which plagues humans. Many sightings might not be errors on BFs part but very intertional. Maybe BF lets itself to be seen as a direct warning to hikers to turn around and go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they so rare that they are seldom seen? How could they retain a breeding population if rare sightings are due to low populations? I personally think, that if these creatures exist, it is because they avoid humans on purpose, and because there are still some wilderness areas to hide in some places of the world. I also think they sleep during the day a lot, and roam at night large distances, searching for food, then returning again to their safe places to sleep again...

georgerm Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Completely agree and this is their simple formula. Do you think they live underground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DWA Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 To add to the orignal poster's question: Why do trackways seem to go on for a given distance and just vanish? Trackways do that. Sooner or later an animal is gonna hit a surface where tracks don't take well. And trust somebody with decades of experience in the woods: it's always sooner.

Guest Kronprinz Adam Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Completely agree and this is their simple formula. Do you think they live underground? I do not know...there are many opinions, some people state that:1. Bigfoot just use the caves as shelter, just as early humans did. 2. They "travel" on extensive underground systems and tunnels to remain undetected.I think they use caves as shelters and maybe have discovered some "shortcuts" and tunnels on them...but I do not think that they live most of the time underground...

Guest ajciani Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 To add to the orignal poster's question: Why do trackways seem to go on for a given distance and just vanish? About the longest trackway I have ever found went on for about 3 and 1/2 prints. This was also a pretty typical trackway, which means that it was not much more than a disturbance in the forest floor. It very soon went onto a horse trail and I lost it. I tried back tracking it, but it went onto some stuff that was living, and the trace was therefore eliminated by the growth of the grass. I have also found tracks that were essentially damp spots where leaves had been pressed down, but again, they only went about three steps and disappeared. I have also heard one walk away from me, and the third step was almost inaudible. I think I may have disturbed two out of their beds, but I only caught the sound of two steps each time. I was once shadowed by one, and I was only vaguely aware of its presence. It made noise, but very intermittently. They may just walk in such a manner that prints and noise are significantly reduced, only leaving prints when they are changing pace, in a hurry, or wanting to make their presence known. As far as tracking them down and finding them; I have had pretty good luck. Is it luck? I certainly didn't put a lot of effort into it, and there have been many incidents which make me wonder that I might have bumped into them on 1/5 of my outings. You have to be very aware of what is going on around you. Seeing them is something entirely different. They avoid. If you are making too much noise, you may as well be a train blowing its whistle. "Hey bigfoots, I'm coming to find you, so get the heck out of Dodge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thermalman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Elusiveness is an animal instinct. Some are very good at it. Some are more sociable to humans. Let me regurgitate one point in my discussions with my friends.... 745 million acres of forest plus Canada's 450 million acres of forest equals 1.1 billion acres total which equals a lot of area to stay hidden. Which also equates to eighteen thousand three hundred and thirty three (18,333) acres per one Sasquatch for a population of six thousand Sasquatch (6000). Correct me if my mathematics are wrong. Canada, alone, has just under 1 billion acres of forest. Picture a large BF standing anywhere in the bush, and his total ground cover is <5 square feet. (1 acre=43,560 square feet.) (43,560 x 1 billion= 43.560 trillion square feet)........ you get the picture Edited February 21, 2013 by thermalman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgerm Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 If we add the vast amount of Canada's forest with an animal that can knows every trick in the hiding book, and we have a hard to find animal. W The Snow Tiger was stalked by a fellow who lived in a dug out blind for months on end. This is what it will take to get good pictures of BF.

Guest apaulo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Maybe they have powers we cannot even imagine too. This link takes you to discover magazine where they talk about the fox's ability to use the earth's magnetic fields to attack prey. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2011/01/11/foxes-use-the-earths-magnetic-field-as-a-targeting-system/#.USLkd2eAv4w Imagine, if BF could sense magnetic fields that could explain why they can avoid cameras so well. They surmise that the fox attacks along the direction and angle of the magnetic field because they can use it to judge exact distance to their prey. The mouse is hidden under the snow but the fox can hear it. Their logic is speculative, but other animals do use the earth's magnetic field to navigate. Cows like to align themselves to the magnetic field when grazing for some reason. Blood contains iron, so maybe BF can sense our magnetic fields.
