Theory of Migration

Do Bigfoot migrate?? I guess if anyone knew for sure they would be well on their way to solving the mystery of Bigfoot. There are many folk on either side of the fence on the migration question. I myself can only make an educated guess (hypothesize) on the Bigfoot that inhabit the area that I investigate. Let me explain.

Over the past several years I have been making note of my own personal experiences as well other peoples accounts and specifically detailing the dates of these experiences. A definitive pattern has emerged from these observations. Any suspected Sasquatch activity, which ranged from wood knocks, tree breaks, screams, whistles, rock clacking, etc historically started somewhere in the month of June. What is interesting is this activity, from my own personal accounts and backed up by second hand reports, started slow in June, intensified in July-August and tapered the end of August to early September. So we have a classic bell curve of activity. Is it safe to assume that the reason for this bell curve of activity is caused by the Squatch just entering the area in June and vacating August-September??

My theory is this is most certainly the case! But why do the Squatch come and go?? Why at these times?? I'm guessing that the main reason they vacate the area in early Fall is because this is the start of hunting season in Pennsylvania. The beginning of September is the Dove season opener. Dove hunters typically don't hunt the deep forests where Squatch hang out but they do hunt the fringes and power line cuts that wind through Squatch territory. This increase in human activity coupled with the gun fire associated with Dove hunting, could quite possibly be the trigger for a mass exodus of Squatch from the area. One other factor to take into account is the natural thinning out of good cover in the Fall and Winter months. Here in Pa the woods open up quite a bit and areas that were once thick with vegetation are now as open as football fields. Squatch like most shy creatures need ample amounts of security cover and will travel great lengths to find it. I'm thinking it is this combination of more hunting, less cover that is the answer for their departure.

But where do the Squatch go? There is a farm approximately 15 miles from my research area that has a very documented history of Bigfoot sightings and activity. This property is chalk full of the winter security cover that not only the Bigfoot crave but also one of their major sources of protein, the Whitetailed Deer crave. But most importantly it has a no hunting or no tress passing policy. Can you say Squatch sanctuary!?! I think the Squatch head to this property to hole up for the winter, most likely meeting up with other Squatch family units from surrounding areas. There are many areas all over the state that this scenario can be duplicated. Enough to protect the breeding population of Pa Bigfoot.

By Spring the Bigfoot have probably had enough of each other and they start dispersing. But it cannot be too early because Pennsylvania has a turkey hunting season that runs till......JUNE 1!!Noticing a pattern here? There are probably many reasons where a family group of Squatch choose to hang out for the summer. A good water source, steep terrain, thick security cover, and natural caves are all important factors I believe to be desirable to a Squatch family unit. I think they will tolerate some human intrusion at this time of year because they are able to hide and evade better now than in the Winter months.

So in closing I guess the Bigfoot in my area do technically migrate. I would have to think that if you closed this particular property down to all travel and all hunting that the Squatch just might stay in the area over winter. There are ample amounts of food and cover (caves) to hold them over till Spring. But until that happens I will never know for sure. Happy hunting....
