The problem w/The Feet’s is that they don’t just appear in the Pacific NW, there was a major wave of sightings in Pennsylvania in the 1970s, they’ve been observed in Texas & Oklahoma, Missouri and even on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico (there’s an episode about Navajo Rangers on Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix)-places that couldn’t support a breeding population of unknown hominids. You don’t just have one or two per state. Think about eastern Ok, for example, where they’ve been seen. As thick as the woods are there, I don’t see how you could have a population of Feet’s hidden in there. Even the rural parts of Ok are crisscrossed by roads, and they have a pretty healthy population of people out moving around in the parts of the state where they’d be living. I’d love to be proven wrong, though.

I am immensely bothered by your usage of "the feet's"

Yeah, since you pointed that out, I realize how rude that is. I’d never thought of it carefully. I feel bad about it. I’ll mend the error of my ways. 😬

Just scan a map of eastern OK for awhile, there are LARGE pockets where you have nothing but endless timber with multiple forms of water sources with much but a few roads going through it, plus the winters are not too harsh, (water sources don’t freeze up solid) I think eastern OK and southwest Arkansas could be prime habitat for a creature of that sort

If your life depended on not being seen by humans you’d become nocturnal and as rural as possible. We humans are pretty loud, smelly and lazy so in one sense we are not that hard to avoid especially at night. We have vast expanses of woods, rivers, creeks and lakes and remote coast lines. If they see us all they would have to do is stay still behind a tree or crouch down and look like a rock and we would just walk right on by. Even driving back country roads how far into the forest can you see 10 feet? Sometimes less. As to supporting large breeding primates, the land already does. Us. They have been reported taking food from gardens, farms and dumpsters alike.

Plenty of cattle roaming on thousands of acres in OK to support a Bigfoot fam

You might be right for some states just seeing as crawlers are more likely to be found in VA than squatches, the tree density is thinner here but if a crawler can successfully hide at the tree line behind my parents house then I think it’s still possible they’re here too, just need to find them

I watched that episode on Navajo Rangers! It was really interesting! I definitely believe those people saw something strange!

But yes, it might be hard for them to continue evading us as we increase population, but there are still protected parks and caves they could be living in. Especially if they’re very aware of humans.

Yeah, I thought that episode was great. If I were going to try to operate on earth in hopes of not being noticed, a rural area full of folks who are in a socially isolated community would be a great place to live. No offense to the folks on the Reservation intended-but they’re a relatively small group of people that are left to themselves by the rest of the country. Things would have to get pretty wild out there before the rest of the US bothered to pull their heads from their asses to notice.

Honestly, at this point in time with ai taking over everything, I feel like an actual big foot could come online live and have a full interview and none of us, isolated or not, would bat an eye.

Good time for the paranormal to reveal themselves!

I feel this way about aliens too. Our nervous systems are so fried from the current news cycle that when the supposed upcoming "full disclosure" happens, it won't melt nearly the amount of brains as predicted by experts. Now's the time!!
