A new Hot bed for Squatch sightings??

We know about the Pacific Northwest. States Like California, Washington, Oregon, etc have ALWAYS been the hub of Bigfoot/Sasquatch sightings since the modern Bigfoot phenomena began. In recent years there has been a slight shift to the East and states like Ohio, Florida, New York, and my home state of Pennsylvania are being recognized for their Bigfoot potential. Americas's Heartland has always lacked the volume of sighting as the previously mentioned states and for that fact never mentioned with the top dogs States of the Bigfoot world....until now?! Is it possible for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,and Arkansas to dethrone the king states of Bigfoot sightings? http://www.joplinglobe.com/topstories/x1720494109/Bigfoot-sightings-common-in-Four-State-Area

I personally think that Arkansas and Oklahoma have a decent population of Bigfoot. I also believe that sightings in Missouri, and Kansas are transient Squatch that are traveling through for one reason or another. I have deer hunted in Kansas for quite a few years and I just don't think there is enough cover to support a breeding sized population. There is plenty of food but you can't have one without the other. Missouri is similar with a little more rolling hills with bigger woods and I think there might be a potential for localized family units to stick around but I just don't think that's the case. With that said there is a reason for the increase in sightings in these particular areas. Are Bigfoot losing key habitat and thus free ranging to find new and uncharted territory? Maybe their population is growing and they need new space? It could be the same reason a big old buck relocates from his favorite haunt, too much hunting pressure. The reason why is anyone's guess.
