I have been interested in the bigfoot phenominon for some time. I have to say i am skepitcal. If this creature exists, it can only be in a few areas of North America. Here are the areas i feel are remote enough for the creature to live in without detection, in no order.
1. Pacific Northwest- Endless square miles of uninhabited forest
2. California- Location of some of the best "evidence" thus far and also some very remote forests
3. South Eastern Oklahoma- Hobnobia area has been a hot bed of sightings that have always seemed legit to me.

So many sights in East Texas, Illinois, New York, And so on are just to hard to believe. This creature is extemely elusive, if they exist. These ares are just too populated to believe bigfoot can live here without detection.

There are sightings of large ape like creatures all over the world actually. Im not too smart when it comes to exact locations, but I know Yetis are seen all over snowcovered mountains in asia. Europe definately has sightings of creatures like this as well. I do believe that these creatures exist because of the numerous amounts of sightings throughout history. I believe that some people lie about sightings, but these can not account for everysingle case. There must be fact behind the true sightings.

Good post nonpoint. Since i am an American i suffer from only looking form that perspective sometimes. I know there have been sights outside of the US but the US is the only place to have photo, video and other "evidence" of the creature. The yeti ,in my opinion, is bogus because the area it is supposed to exist cannot support the creature. Not enough wildlife, going on the premise that the creature is a carnivore.

East Texas is very much like SE Oklahoma very wooded and sparsley populated in areas not to mention the handfull of national forests and state parks located there.

I dissagree with you swampcricket.. I am a native of East texas and a frequent visitor to SE Oklahoma. East Texas is far more developed and inhabited than SE Ok. Furthermore the state and national forests in east texas are some of the busiest in the US. The SE area of Ok. is much more sparsely populated and less frequently visited. Also, the terrian of east texas is gentle and easily navigable, while SE Ok is mountainous, hilly, rocky and for the most part unexplored.

Go to www.texasbigfoot.com there is some interesting info on that site, one of the things that stand out is the BF sightings vs. annual rainfall comparison to me that makes alot of sense. I know about SE Oklahoma one of my best friends lives in Broken Bow it is hard terrain and very sparsley populated but so are areas of E Texas

I am a frequent visitor to texasbigfoot.com as well as bfro.com. In my opinion bfro is the best and most comprehensive site going. My arguement is that i have spent alot of time in both areas and i just feel that SE oklahoma is much more isolated and uninhabited than east texas

Don't just factor in wooded and sparsely populated when your trying to figure out something like this. I would also factor in the stupidity and anti-curosity of humans. Here in Indiana, its very populated and flat with the occasional group in trees ranging from 4 or 5 trees to something you could get lost in. If Bigfoot slept in these groups of trees during the day and traveled at night, no one would notice him.

Well if you find a location you could use google earth to look at posisble sites. As here in the North east there are mountains , and yes caves. I think that there are underground animals that forage durring the evening as not to be seen. Place themselfs in their shoes so to speak and imagine where you would hide or live for that matter. I think mountains and caves that are not located on know cave maps. Try google earth for where you would be if you where a bigfoot. Sometimes a voice will come to your mind and let you know that hey maybe this is where. Just look at terain and known cave areas , as there are more caves in that area that have not been explored, and you might want to try remote viewing , as there are sights on the web to explain how to. Then if you do remote view one or more , you may want to go to that area and then take pictures or try to comunicate with them. Many Blessings..

All apologies but i left out the Rocky Mountains areas in northwest US and Canada. Obviously one of the most sparsely populated and little visited areas in North America

A primate of the reported size of most sightings would have extreme difficulty surviving over winter in a snow-covered environment. Nearly all the sightings in such terrain are close enough to lower (snow-free) elevations to suggest the creature is merely traveling through the snowy terrain, not living in it. The Yeti of the Himalayas is believed to live in the lower forested valleys and traverses the passes only when necessary. The NW North American sightings are mostly concentrated in the coastal mountains where it snows less often. Sightings in the upper midwest and lake states are highly suspect.

Ideal habitat for the creature seems to be mixed age forests, not extensive stands of uniform old growth. This is consistent with other large mammals like deer, elk, and bear.

I agree Dave_54. it would seems that the same habitat suitable for deer and such would be the likely home of bigfoot. with that said it sort of rules out the idea that it could only exist in "a few areas of North America". all the southeastern states have remote woodlands that extend uninterrupted for miles. add to that the booming timber industry in the southeast & you get miles of young pine stands with mature mixed hardwood/pines streamside management zones left for erosion control. you would only need to see it once to understand how very large animals could live there unmolested until development pushes them to their next destination.

Native American folklore has many legends of a "similar" creature. No matter the tribal nation, the majority all have the legend. I believe that alone speaks volumes for the possibility of existence. I think the idea of SE Oklahoma is a good place to start. When growing up in NE Oklahoma my dad told me of Muddy Boggy and the Sasquach like creature. I am sure everyone here knows of the movie. However as the story was told to me it is every X(cannot remember the exact number, many moons ago) amount of years is when it is seen in that region. This to me would suggest a more "nomadic" creature. That would also explain the occasional sighting in a more populated area. If the creature is nomadic and uses the same routes each time then we stand a good chance of populating areas of that route by mistake. Thus leading to a sighting in a populated area. The next journey it will adjust it's route to avoid that area. I also believe there are more than one group of this creature. That would explain the multiple sightings all over at the same time of year. However, if I was to go tomorrow to search for the creature I would start just south of the OK/TX border. I believe it is on www.texasbigfoot.com you can find a report of a family that has been tormented by the creature for the past decade. Reportedly every hunting trip they make to their lease their camp (my understanding to be a bus that was converted for living) is violently hit and thrashed side to side every time. Also the report in Adair, OK. It is in NE Oklahoma but the sighting was by veteran law officer and woodsmen. My family once looked at homes in that area and it is heavily wooded with many areas unreachable by vehicle. In closing I believe we would have to take all the sightings, weed out the "less likely" and then make a time line to suggest a pattern in their travel to suggest the best area based upon time of year.

Just my opinion though. I am by no means a expert in this area.

You would be surprised how incredibly unpopulated and how MASSIVELY huge the swaths of uninterrupted forest and land along the Appalachian Mountains in the East US are. Particularly very rural Western Pennsylvania, part of Ohio, Western Maryland, and into West Virginia. Even in to upstate New York. You would be very, very surprised. And a LOT of the land is incredibly rugged, jagged, rocky, and forested. It's mountain terrain much like the Pacific Northwest. Looking at a map does not do anything justice until you've been to the area. Also note that in Maryland they are desperate for people to actually hunt deer, there is an incredible overpopulation and they're even bleeding into major cities. There are also plenty of Black bear, cougar, coyote, etc. in Western MD, PA, etc.

The Appalachian Mountains stretch down all the way to Georgia, and there are very remote parts down there too.

Check out my pictures of my camping trip (link in my signature below). East Texas is basically one big forest/swamp/river bottom. There is plenty of room for Big Foot to exist. Take a look and see.

Just my 2-cents

Bigfoot travels around a bit. He is not a native terrestrial of Earth.

Bigfoot is a renegade from the Planet Mars... seriously.....
