Bigfoot caloric intake.

[JKH]

^Good example, and yes lots of reports from pickers of all kinds. BTW, there's plenty to learn about behaviors from select podcasts. I recently listened to an interesting report from a mushroom picker who was picking to make money, and had hired a whole crew to help. They got an aggressive confrontation in which the man's dog tried to attack and was killed by the big guy. I got the impression that the people had really messed up by overharvesting. That one starts about 50:00 in the first video. The second one I haven't entirely listened to but the title is on-topic.

You talked about Bigfoot needing to leave cover and be out in the open to forage. That’s a false assumption.

 

Not really.  I talked about the need to "graze" based on the limited diet would increase the need for Bigfoot to expand its food search area as a practical matter.  Any time where Bigfoots needs can't be met locally it would force bigfoot to be on the move until its needs can be met.  We don't know the specifics of those needs.   

 

"Grazing" as a concept means the active searching or Movement for food esp. plant foods.  This doesn't mean we are talking about cows eating grass out in the open field in Nebraska. 

 

It's conceptual.  It's simply a matter of degree.  

 

If we want to say Bigfoot eats fish (and I imagine they do) I do have to wonder, why they are not spotted around salmon streams on a regular basis.  Other than small numbers of bigfoot in existence, I can't think of any other major reason.   There are plenty of food available for the taking.

I have picked huckleberries under a lodgepole pine canopy in Ferry county. Stuff grows IN the forest.

 

 

Stuff grows IN the Forrest for anyone who hasn't been made aware.   

 

Since most issues of Bigfoot are conceptual (since we don't have a body on a slab to study) BFF postings on the issues are meant to be conceptual.   

 

If what Bigfoot needs is close by, bigfoot is likely to stay close by.  If not, Bigfoot would have to be on the move.  

 

If Bigfoot's has a very limited diet, Bigfoot has fewer options to fulfill that diet.  If Bigfoots diet is more flexible it should be easier to meet it's food needs.

 

It's well and good if there are berries and mushrooms available.  This assumes Bigfoot would eat them and can eat them.  If not, it's useless to the direct needs of bigfoot.
