Really quiet in Wyoming- 2-3year migration patterns?

[Lefty]

This past year Wyoming has been really quiet, as to reports of bipedal animals/bigfoot. I had read on another site awhile back, that some folks believe in a 2-3year North/South migration pattern of bigfoot in the Rocky mountain area. This pattern was concluded by logging bigfoot sightings, times and locations of course. I remember, I think it was 2000, checking out an elk area in the foothills near Cokeville, WY in early Oct, for a resident herd of elk. I heard a series of howling of long duration, which matched a couple of the recordings on the BFRO site. I followed in the direction of the howling, which stopped when I got closer, and started up again, when I moved away. Later that year, Like Dec, no it was Feb 2001, someone traveling on a highway middle of the night, reported a bigfoot stalking some deer off the side of the road. That was directly down the valley of the area where I heard the howling, some 30 miles or so south. Within 2-3 years, another siting in Mountain View, WY early winter. This area is just a few miles north of the Uinta Mountains on the Wy/Utah border. All directly in a North /South line. If you start at the most northern Idaho/Wy border above Cokeville, known for many sitings years ago, and run down southerly to the Unita mountains in Utah, you got a concentrated area of years of sitings.

East/Central Utah in 2009 had an increase in Bigfoot sitings, just south of the Uinta mountains.

All very interesting.

I was thinking. It would be very conceivable to do a camping trek from above Cokeville all the way to the Northern Uintas, roughly following the sitings route, and stay on Fed/state lands. Checking with the Wyo Atlas, very doable. Now if only I could swing 3 weeks off from work in early summer, maybe. But I won't do it alone. Its only around 50mi as the crow flies. What do you think? 2-3 weeks couldprovide time to search around, and walk the lay of the land, log springs and watering holes.  Lots of wild game out there for sure.

I find it strangely interesting that most folks who are believers in the existence of bigfoot assume them to be meat eating creatures primarily even tho they consider them to be some form of ape. As a rule apes world wide where and when they exist are vegetarians not meat eaters. There are rare exceptions but mostly those are still vegetarians primarily but do at times eat meat such as baboons.

The larger apes like gorillas are strictly vegetarian.

I believe the reason for this is that what is taken as bigfoot is really bears and bears are known to eat meat regularly tho they do eat some vegetation as well.

[Lefty]

I think the comparison to bears, by many, is an attempt to study what a body, requiring a large amt of calories, might have available to sustain itself. There have been reports on one southern BF site of persons witnessing a BF creature carrying a deer away. Also in Wisconsin, county worker reported "something" quickly climbed into his carcass collecting flatbed, and stole a deer carcass, while he was starting to drive the truck off from a pick up site. Your point about primates being vegetarians is well taken.

From a non believer in the existence of bigfoot I would rate that one a hoax assuming they claim it had the deer in hand. Now if it was in the mouth and being carried that would be a bear.

I could believe a bear or a puma would do such a thing. I'd not rule out a poacher either.

All of which entirely possible, not ruled out. I know many people who butcher road killed deer. Not my cup of tea unless I was starving....maybe.

Many years ago, I misidentified a cow moose, in the setting sun, for a cow elk, and shot it. Upon discovering my mistake, I immediately called it in to Game and Fish, tearfully telling them what I had done.
It was an abnormally warm night, and was an early season area. And they said they'd be there in the morning. Of course I had to gut it out. And I helped the warden get it downhill to his truck. They were going to give it away to needy people. Thank God I wasn't needy. I still paid $700.00 fine for some needy folks to eat a warm moose....

Just the way it is sometimes....Powderman, I traveled Riverton, WY to Kemmerer to Mt Pelier, ID yesterday. Took the dirt roads along the Green River and ran the dogs. Walked up the two track above Border Pass, Idaho, and along the foothills. Didn't see anything but a few deer. Nothing unusual. It was pretty pristine. Had a storm coming, so hightailed it back before it hit South Pass. We got dumped on late last night about 2inches. Otherwise, except for the mountain passes, the southern exposures were bare soil yesterday before the storm.
