Wondering If Bf Tears Down A Den

[Sasfooty]

Slapping a big blob of mud on the eye of a game cam adds to the curiosity of the hunter, too, but it effectively stops it from taking pictures.

[Guest Dudlow]

While I am sure there must be exceptions, nonetheless I am firmly of the belief that Sasquatch deliberately does everything necessary to hide all evidence that could lead to our knowledge of their presence, especially with respect to evidence indicating where they take shelter and seek protection for their family groups. Otherwise, if Squatchy is simply passing through an area or visiting close by human habitation sites, he is not as concerned to hide evidence of his fleeting presence. But that evidence seems usually to be somewhat fleeting, as well.

The standard exception includes their stick signs that we so often find (and argue about) in the woods, perhaps because so many formations could be interpreted as natural falls and geofacts, which we often ascribe them to, anyway. And what use would a BF trail marker, designed to convey a specific message to other BF, be if it was disassembled and done away with? I also believe that Sasquatch is keenly aware that his covert practices are specifically designed to confound man, rather than any other denizens of the forest environment. I'm sure Squatchy knows that man is potentially his ultimate nemesis in the forest.

Most researchers penetrate their areas along game trails and other established throughways, but BF denning areas are usually established well back and away from any human access routes, where, consequently, we are very unlikely to come across them.

Their stealth in this regard has worked very well for them so far, to the extent that most people still deny their existence.

Interesting reports of BF nests. If one finds a nest, then keep out of the area and set up camera traps since BF will most likely return.

Look in the video topic section and there is picture and report of a BF in a nest by a creek. It ran out and went up a hill where it was captured on video which of course is hard to see.

What size creek was it next to and how close was it to the creek? Is it possible that the creek overflowed it's banks and washed the structure away? Did you have lots of rain in the week between seeing it and going back?

I assume there would be other evidence that the creek overflowed, but I just wanted to ask. Was it so close to the creek that heavy rains would wash it away at some point, because if it was then the bigfoot might have known it was a temporary structure anyway.

If the Bigfoot destroyed it then it probably just threw the sticks and other materials in the creek and let them wash down stream. You could go down stream a little ways to see if some of the sticks got caught up and are still there.

I think people need to keep in mind not every nest or homemade structure found in the woods is made by Sasquatch. Hunters or outdoorsman sometimes do that, homeless people who live in the woods build these a lot, children who live near the woods tend to build all manner of little forts as I have seen them do it. And yes there are a lot of people who just live in the woods, ran into them all the time when I lived out west. And if its close to water maybe a beaver built it as they are quite the architect.

If it's beside a game trail maybe it's a blind?

I've wondered about this. What if a BF breaks his leg or twists his ankle? What does he do? I bet they burrow into berry bushes, but if there aren't any around, then what?

It makes sense that they would try for cover near water.

Perhaps you observed new behaviour, BFSearcher. This is what I think the progression should be like. Theory furthered by fieldwork leading to advancement of understanding.

Lack of documentation always leaves room for further investigation, of course, but observations from the field should be regaurded as very valuable, IMO.

Thanks for sharing, BFSearcher!

I wonder this too. Duck hunters are known to make some elaborate blinds. Hunters can wear hooded ghillie suits and the unknowing person can think it is a Bigfoot especially from a distance.

I just can't believe that the BF we talk about was involved in this tale, Not only that but i really don't think BF is this far north.

I have seen reports from NY and Maine, some of which could be credible, so bf could be in NH too.

[bipedalist]

He's also in Vermont, but now he is pay-per-view, lol

So, you got to pay-to-play.

Yah, aimed at you Wilderness Child, you earned it.

Please don't tell me BF are making thatched roofs ~

The spot of the creek where the den was,is approximately 3 ft wide and at the time we didnt have any rain and the creek was low ,so I doubt it got washed away. The den was about 4 feet from the creek,right next tothe deer trail.

Hey I found one of those a couple weekends back and something else.

Anyways so what are we saying here? Intelligent enough to build but can't be smart enough to toss away or carry off branches with their huge long arms?

What, too much of a reach for some?

I had a similar idea, (but we need 1. A bigfoot nest, den or cave 2. A high-tech mini-robot with wheels).

My idea was, to drop the robot (a silent and discrete one with camouflage) near the nest and track Bigfoot movements at distance. Remotely operated....by doing this, it would be possible to study Bigfoot at a safe distance...the main problem, is to find the right place to place our robot!!

My second idea is the following: pick a Bigfoot hot-spot (from these few reports on which some Bigfoot do nocturnal visitations near farms and cabins). Place a very large pole with cameras and take pics!!!

And where are people suppose to come up with money for robots?

Is the creek connected to a lake or river that is controlled by hydroelectric dam? If so currents from the dam can wash dens away easily. That said I think 99% of dens on creeks are going to be made by hunters, kids or beavers.

The few pictures of suspected BF structures I have seen on here were so sparse that it didn't look like it would protect anything from any thing. Has anyone witnessed any shelter that was elaborate in any way? elaborate would mean built well enough for rain protection.
