I have to say that I am very inspired from everyone who goes out exploring for sasquatch. I love reading the reports and when people share their discoveries – anything from audio recordings, personal experiences, or tech details. Thank you.
I live in the north; the lakes are now frozen and there is a lot of snow. My theory about sasquatch migration patterns is that they pretty much empty out from south eastern and central Northwest Territories before the first snow fall. Most of the NWT (southern half, northern half is tundra) is heavily forested with pine, spruce, and fir, and you can't throw a rock without hitting a lake. Eastern NWT is mostly good ol' Canadian Shield, Precambrian rock that records no trace of fleeting tracks. The other half is lower lying Western Plain that the Mackenzie River snakes through at the feet of the Mackenzie Mountains. In the summer, those areas are prime sasquatch habitat (from what I figure) but in the winter, it is too darned cold! It can go -40C for weeks on end, not counting wind chill. I don't think there is anything to make a sasquatch stay here over the coldest part of the winter.
But anyway, being inspired by other hikers/seekers, I got myself some snowshoes for Christmas. I set out a few times already in the past week. The world sure is a different place outside of the city. It's fun walking across hundreds of meters of lake to get to an island I wouldn't canoe to in the summer. I've seen tracks that I've tried to read but couldn't quite make sense of the story. I followed a ravens tracks through deep snow wondering why he didn't just fly. A lot can be learned by looking closely. But, so far no sign of sasquatch. (I found old snowshoe tracks that were pretty easy to rule out!). I honestly don't expect to find any tracks around the outskirts of town but hiking about at 3pm sun sets, makes it a bit secondary, anyways.
One more thing about migration, a campground operator here commented when I checked in and asked him about bears. Hadn't seen any lately. Then asked him about sasquatch. He said no, not yet. Too early for them. They just pass through in the fall.
Happy New Year!

Interesting. I've always suspected that, at heart, Our Critter is basically a "snowbird". Query: as they "pass through" are they following the warmer temperatures or are they following the deer (or other food sources)?
On the internet, no one knows you're a squatch. . . |

I don't think there are any prey species that leave when winter comes. The bison, caribou, moose, muskox, and of course, bears all stay. There is north-south migration but not past the 60th parallel, as far as I know. There aren't supposed to be deer this far up but you never know. I'm going on the premise that in the summer, this is a great place for a sasquatch to hang out and never be noticed but in the winter, despite ideal, isolated locations leave due to the cold.
I should point out that my "migration theory" only applies to the higher north. In the southern, more temperate areas, they probably stick around during winter. But who knows.

I think what you say applies to the U.S. upper midwest also. Lots of snow, cold (a little above zero Fahrenheit last night, wind chills far below zero), and frozen lakes and streams. I have recently been told that my observation area is adjacent to spawning waters for various fish in the spring and early summer. Could be why I find more evidence during those months.

| Yeah, once the weather becomes more hospitable, I think the 'squatches return to where they know the food is. It only makes sense that they roam the continent. Maybe those in prime territories like northern California stay put (why would they leave?) but others must migrate north-south according to temperatures. It's a great big continent that we live on but to a fast biped like the sasquatch, it may not be as big to them as it is to us. The far north is just too isolated with abundant food and water sources to not take advantage of in the summer. |
