There are many different opinions about migration, some say they do and others swear they don't. I can only offer what I know and that is again only from this area. I tend to believe they are basically nomadic for the majority of the year only retuning to certain areas when it's time to give birth or when seeking out dietary supplementations (Licks). Safe areas, enriched areas, areas used for this purpose by many generations past. I believe they travel in small family bands, consisting mainly of females and young , the males travel mainly in solitude ( very comparable to deer or elk ). I also believe that some of the younger males may occupy these areas year round.
They may migrate for food as well as for sexual reasons. Traveling or joining other groups insures their survival in healthy breading. Although there may be some areas where these creatures have become geologically isolated leading to birth defects and aggressive behaviors. There are some early attempts at documenting / mapping the believed migratory paths of these beings.
The documentation of a migratory behavior was documented in a 1934 by a Nebraska newspaper.
COMMUNICATION
Whoops, whistles and howls are but a few of the commonly reported sounds thought to be made by the Bigfoot.
Whistling is a technique known to two species of great apes, man and orangutan. An orangutan in Germany as well as one in the United States has taught themselves to “whistle”!
It is a reasonable deduction that a creature said to fall somewhere in-between may also posses this technique. Many lay claims to have heard the whistling of a Sasquatch , this is a common reported occurrence in the field of Bigfooting.
I would like to carry this topic a bit further than common sounds; below you will find my personal belief on some of the mysteries surrounding these illusive forest beings and what forms of communication they may posses.
There are many different ways animals communicate, including scent (pheromones)and by body language as far as we know so far the most common types of communication for most species is sound. There are many kinds of sounds made by these creatures. As well as the loud whooping or screaming sounds. There are sounds unheard, sounds you can feel. The sounds are almost indescribable, but they talk to each other, I have heard them, I have felt them. Kind of like what a 10' humming bird might sound like. There has been research done on skull size, relationship between formant frequencies and body size , the larger skull the lower the vocalization range. The Bigfoot are large very large, directly pertaining to (Range of Hearing & Vocalization). Remember the larger the skull the lower the range of vocalization. The sounds of the vocal track provide clues to size. (Skull size) Sounds / pitch results from vocal fold oscillations. The larger the larynx, the lower the sound production. The Bigfoot is very capable of and probably are using infra sounds in their communications. Like I said, I have felt it. Remember we are talking about a skull according to scientific computations, more than twice the size of a human skull. Evidence suggests that some animals have the ability to detect sensory stimuli which humans cannot, even with our most sensitive technological instruments. Many animals have access to a perceptual range exceeding those of humans is scientifically well established. It also appears that many animals have sensory abilities not currently explained by traditional science. The ancient Greeks considered an understanding of the relationship between unusual animal behavior and earthquakes to be an esoteric form of Secret Knowledge. Japan is also very aware of the correlation between animal behavior and earthquakes.
When looking for a chance encounter with Bigfoot we should use our ears as well as our eyes.Bigfoot using low frequency sounds, sounds unheard INFRA SOUNDS, you bet. Bioacoustics is a branch of science concerned with the production of sound and its effects on living systems. Bigfoot Bioacoustics now there is a research subject for you.
I have read many reports stating that the Bigfoot know when you are in their area and that they know well in advance. At one time I attributed this to the simple fact that humans are loud and clumsy. They make such a disturbance that every creature around knows they are coming. I have even tested this theory and found it to be quite true. I have sat high above a used foot path in the woods and have listened to people coming up the trail. I could hear them long before I saw them. Only recently have I changed my mind, or should I say have greatly extended this information. It is my opinion that they know by way of sent, but not by the sent put off buy the approaching humans, I think it is rather by the volatiles / chemical compounds emitted by plants, specifically trees.
We know there is a process by which trees communicate and even signal each other in the face of danger. Yes trees talk to one another but not with sounds they communicate by way of scent. Plants emit volatiles in response to damage. Volatiles released from damaged plants elicit defensive responses in undamaged receiver plants. This plant-plant communication through the atmosphere is referred to by using the terms "talking plants" and "listening plants".
They know when you are coming because the trees tell them. I know how this sounds but what better place to introduce this information then here and it dose have scientific backing.
There is a organ that has only recently been identified in humans the vomeronasal organ. This organ has been thought of as dysfunctional a mere remnant of ancient times.
In mammals, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) contains chemosensory receptor cells. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is an olfactory sensory structure that responds to soluble compounds recent studies have raised the possibility that the human VNO may be structurally intact and possibly functional. It is my opinion that the vomeronasal organ is highly intact and in tuned amongst the Bigfoot. In other words they can communicate with the trees by way of a tree's emitted chemical compounds. They know when you are coming because the trees tell them. I know how this sounds but what better place to introduce this information then here and it dose have scientific backing, why I could write an entire chapter on this topic alone.
It is also my opinion that along with elevated sense/s , the Bigfoot may also be capable of smelling and interpreting intent not only by sent but by observation as well. Ever get the feeling you are being watched while in the woods?
Experiments Test Chimpanzees' Ability To Make Judgments About The Reputation Of Strangers
The authors conclude that their results demonstrate chimpanzees' ability "to infer stability in an individual's character or behavior over time through observation - an inference that underlies the ability to make reputation judgments…This ability may have served as a catalyst to the evolution of various uniquely human traits such as shared intentionality, language and reasoning."

There are basically eight different chemical compounds in perspiration. There are five different kinds of bacteria that generally inhabit the human body at all times. What you have, then, is a combination of these eight chemical compounds and five kinds of bacteria comprising odor. As you can see, you can come up with a figure something like 5,565 different smells, each combination having it's own distinct smell. By mixing the different chemical compounds, such as when you are afraid or guilty or whatever, you can give off different odors for each. This is why different people give off different odors when frightened, etc. There dose seem to be truth to the old saying "animals can smell fear".
Some say the Bigfoot may have physic abilities.
I tend to lean towards chemical sensory, so acute that it works like a naturally obtainable data base.
Talking plants, chemical communication between trees, chemical communication with the Bigfoot.
The vomeronasal organ (VNO), or Jacobson's organ, is an auxiliary olfactory sense organ that is found in many animals and some adult humans. There is controversy within the scientific community to it actually being functional or not. The VNO organ is located at the base of the nasal septum or in the roof of the mouth in most amphibians, reptiles and mammals Research results demonstrate that the VNO is present in postnatal chimpanzee and is almost identical to the human VNO in its anatomical position and structure.
VNO receptors
"Until this report," Greer continues, "the consensus was that humans do not have receptors that belong to this family of genes. Now the door is open to reconsidering the functional organization of the human olfactory system"
http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/08_00/human_pheromone.shtml
It is my opinion
If plants and other species are capable of interpreting this chemical information the Bigfoot are too. Their environment and life styles may have even led to an acutely developed chemical sensory organ.
Scientist are using chemical sensors to investigate plant communications: cries for help, invitations, even warnings, each in the form of odor molecules that float past human noses unnoticed.
Did you know that if an attack occurs on the outside of a forest the trees can let the other trees know by way of released chemicals and then the other trees can prepare and defend themselves? Plants mind you, they communicate and act on chemical information.
It's not that far of a reach to think that other forest dwelling creatures are cable of this chemical information as well. Take dogs for example they can smell cancer or the saying that animals can smell fear.
This may be how they know you are coming long before you get there or how they smell intent. It is said that they pick you, you don't pick them. Maybe the ones who smell a certain way are more prone to encounters.... maybe.
World's Most Endangered Gorilla Fights Back (Dec. 11, 2007) - In the wake of a study that documented for the first time the use of weaponry by Cross River gorillas to ward off threats by humans, the Wildlife Conservation Society has announced new field surveys .
The study, published earlier this year in the Journal of Primatology, found several instances of gorillas throwing sticks and clumps of grass when threatened by people. Gorillas usually flee and rarely charge when encountered by humans
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071205122539.htm
Reports of rocks being thrown at campers and researchers are all over the Internet. This behavior is in my opinion an act of desperation, an attempt to try and hold on to the last suitable environment. They are and throughout history have been forest dwellers "wild men".
I guess I have been lucky to have an opportunity to research these ancient and elusive beings in an area where displays of aggression are minimal. It would seem that in the mid southern states reports of aggression are quite common. Interestingly enough physical abnormalities are also reported from these same areas. It has been suggested that these abnormalities may be a direct result of interbreeding brought on by being trapped in secluded geological pockets. (e.g. three toed footprints( cryptokeeper)

Chimps can think ahead why not give the Bigfoot as much credit if not more. A chimp may prepare a fishing tool before heading for a nearby termites nest, and carry the tool with it. This shows an intellect not only capable of understanding a problem and solving it, but also one able to anticipate the likely recurrence of the problem. Like I have stated before the Bigfoot are far more intelligent and capable of then most give them credit for , that is if any credit at all is given. To date, it has been presumed all DNA testing on stool, saliva, and hair specimens have come up inconclusive due to their near identical human qualities. Now why do you suppose that is?
DIET
My research in the field and academically led me to studying the lichen / plants in the area. I had no idea that this topic was about to expand into its own topic, offering multiple areas of relevancy. Once again I had found correlations that validated PPIT. Minerals, rocks, lichen, as well as the other vegetation (specifically mushrooms) found in this immediate area were all taken into account. I even studied the rock sackings before offering this information. Bigfoot seeking out potassium supplementation in vegetation and earthly deposits gives rise to rubidium being consumed as well. Rubidium can be found in common rocks such as granite, basalt and several clays, or still in ocean and natural spring waters.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum an Associate Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology suggests in his book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science that BF might eat lichen.
It is known that some cyanobacterial species grow in an Rb media in absence of K+.
Some types of lichen are in fact cyanobacteria. I will attempt to show a valid potential for rubidium uptake by lichen along with other fungi in specific regions. Mapped lichen regions seem to correlate precisely with reported Bigfoot encounters.
Close attention should be given to the fact that there are endosymbionts such as lichens. An endosymbiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism. Photosynthesis in cyanobacteria generally uses water as an electron donor yet some may use hydrogen sulfide instead. Lab results have shown that the smallest of the small phytoplankton, the "blue-green algae," or cyanobacteria, produce the most H2S (hydrogen sulfide), Cyanobacteria can provide energy for the host and has the ability to perform oxygenic (plant-like) photosynthesis,
Hydrogen producing cyanobacteria are even being considered as an alternative energy source, notably at Oregon State University, in research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Princeton University, Colorado School of Mines as well as at Uppsala University, Sweden
If the Bigfoot were consuming these types of lichen within these specific geological areas they may be emitting its sulfurous smell. i.e. Koala Bears & eucalyptus. Ever smelt a Kola?
This may be one explanation to the sulfur like smells often associated with many Bigfoot sightings.
It is also interesting to know that biomagnifications of Rb is significant within a food-web context, but not necessarily within species.
This would seem to suggest a selective uptake.
"Lichens are not plants. Rather, they are individualized symbiotic composites of photobionts (oxygenic photoautotrophs, such as cyanobacteria or green algae) that are morphologically and metabolically integrated with mycobionts (heterotrophic fungi, usually ascomycota). Timiryazev wrote, "Some botanists still cannot wake from the impression evoked by this startling discovery and prefer to close their eyes to the obvious. If I am not mistaken, this curious subject has hardly been mentioned in our popular literature; nevertheless, it must be considered one of the most striking and unexpected discoveries of biological science of the last quarter century"
http://www.bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1641%2F0006-3568(2003)053%5B0776%3ALAL%5D2.0.CO%3B2&ct=1
Cyanobacteria are found in almost every conceivable habitat, often referred to as blue-green algae (lichen), they are in fact prokaryotes, not algae. They are found in fresh water /marine, some occur in damp soil and some in temporarily moistened rocks in deserts.
Lichen is a combination of fungus and algae. Fungi are known to thrive in soils consisting of potassium salts. Lichens are wide spread and can live on either rocks or wood!
Rubidium can be a potassium substitute and its uptake is common in many edible plants specifically fungi's (lichen & mushrooms) through out the world.
According to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Washington State has over 900 species of lichens. In the north it is common knowledge that lichens are "survival" food for reindeer and caribou in the winter. It is rich in energy and is often the only food available to them.
Fungi's present a viable food source, they have an affinity for potassium (K) and readily take up rubidium (Rb) in the absence of K. They would be an excellent source for potassium supplementation. They may also hold medicinal qualities as well. Here is a quote from Mycologist Paul Stamets who has run tests on over 100 different mushroom extracts.
"Recent in vitro tests demonstrate that a specially prepared extract from Fomitopsis officinalis is highly selective against viruses. F. officinalis is a wood conk mushroom, known for thousands of years as Agarikon. It is extinct or nearly so in Europe and Asia, and is still found in the old-growth forests of the American Pacific Northwest. It may provide novel anti-viral drugs useful for protecting against pox and other viruses. Besides having a direct anti-viral or anti-bacterial effect, mushroom derivatives can also activate the natural immune system."
Another feature of fungi is the presence of chitin in their cell walls. The walls of the mycelium, which make up the solid substance of the mushroom, are composed of chitin, the substance forming the exoskeleton of insects. Chitin can be found in animals (exoskeletons of. crustacean and insects) as well as in fungi, mushrooms and yeasts2. Chitin has been found to be a natural photonic crystal presenting unusual and rare feats of light manipulation, rare because chitin is a natural photonic crystal holding secrets to desired bad gaps still being sought after by top laboratories thru out the world. Many scientists are now looking to Mother Nature for answers and a better overall understanding of phontonics (natural phontonics)
"The beetle's scales' overall architecture uses the same symmetry as the atoms in a diamond's lattice, but here the atoms are replaced by cylindrically shaped building blocks made from the organic material, chitin, with air gaps in between. The spacing of the chitin building blocks lets all wavelengths through, except 500- to 550nm (green), acting like a perfect mirror reflecting those wavelengths back, which makes the beetle appear iridescent".
UPDATE AUG. 2009
Using a technique known as transformation optics, the researchers have revealed a way to alter the pathway of light waves that could eventually allow them to create portals that are invisible to the human eye.
Pushing the laws of refraction and reflection to the limit, the team from Hong Kong University and Fudan University in Shanghai, describe the concept of a “a gateway that can block electromagnetic waves but that allows the passage of other entities”.
The gateway uses transformation optics and a “superscatterer” made from photonic crystals to create an ‘optical illusion’, forcing light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation into complicated directions to hide the portal.
----------------------------------------------------------
Potassium within the body is primarily within the intracellular fluids; 98% of the intracellular fluid is within cells. The cells of your body are responsible for your refractive indices; the way you reflect and absorb light .This is commonly accepted. The human body tends to treat Rubidium Rb 87 ions as if they were Potassium ions, and therefore concentrates rubidium in the body's electrolytic fluid. Intracellular rubidium!
On an interesting note, some studies suggest that people with poor cognitive function usually have low rubidium levels, while those with good cognitive function usually have high rubidium levels.
Possible anthropogenic sources of Rb and Cs include coal-burning. Rb in coals and fly ash is related with Cs and K and can be a significant source in local environments.
There are 40 known and identified abandoned underground coal mines located throughout Pierce County alone! I would like to point out that rubidium is always found in potash salt. Potash is a general term covering several types of potassium salts. Potassium salts can be replaced by rubidium salt. Sodium salts can not replace potassium salts. Some of the principle commercial sources of potassium, potash, are mined in Saskatchewan, California, Germany, New Mexico, Utah, and in other places around the world. Potash is a nutrient essential for plant growth. Rubidium or potash salt, is rapidly and highly absorbed and excreted by the digestive tracts of mammals. The relationship between Rb+ concentration in the tissues of organisms (plant and animal) and the soil chemical properties is obvious. Rubidium in the soils means rubidium within the species, especially in the absence of K.
Rubidium uptake by plants (lichen) in this area should be by now becoming an obvious deduction. I can however supply many more geological studies if you need further convincing, my accumulated geological material is extensive. The final proof will come with further testing and research. All research is funded out of pocket, tests for rubidium content are expensive and at this time temporarily out of reach. Years of geological research dose give strong evidence for high rubidium content in this area. I would also like to point out that the areas I am working now ARE NOT by random.
Dietary supplementations, every animal has them and uses them. When sick or injured they use medicines just as humans do just as all creatures do. There are many health problems that are shared by both animals & people for example allergies, epilepsy, diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, and infection. Natural medicines are an essential part of a natural life. The chimpanzees in East Africa use plants such as auspicial leaves. Auspicial leaves are rich in red oil called thiarubrine-A, a natural drug that kills parasitic worms, bacteria and harmful fungi. They will also eat plants of the veronica (bitter leaf) family. This plant has antibacterial properties and boosts the immune system against viruses. Primates are mono-gastric animals with similar dentition to humans. Vitamin C, vitamin D, and Potassium are amongst many other required as supplementations. In North America the Ligusticum poreri, a plant in the lovage family, is used by bears to treat worms and bacterial infections. They will either swallow the masticated roots to treat worms or they may spit them into their coats, to kill parasites such as ticks and fungi. Wild Garlic is one of the most effective antibiotic plants available, acting on bacteria, viruses and alimentary parasites. Sea weed has been known for many years as a treatment for digestive problems as well as treating diarrhea, dysentery, gastric ulcers, and colds. The Pacific Silver Fir was used quite widely by Native Americans. An infusion of the bark was used as a tonic and to treat stomach ailments, TB, hemorrhoids and various minor complaints. As you can see there are many sources of supplementation or medicines available to the Bigfoot.
They may eat small portions of meat and in many cases the liver. Liver is a good source of Alpha-Lipoic acid, the "Universal" Antioxidant. Bugs, frogs, salamanders, plants ( Mushrooms Lichen), roots, berries, fish and rocks / soil or clay. These are just a few items that may be found in a Bigfoot's diet. They are all sources of supplementation. When searching for these animals, it may be wise to search for their food, water, medicinal and essential mineral or vitamin sources rather then attempting to chase / hunt for these elusive and very forest wise beings. You know what they say you don't find Bigfoot they find you. In my opinion and from my own experiences, repeatedly placing yourself within specific geological regions may increase the chances of them finding you.
ROCK STACKINGS
I would like to share another possible geo-clue for seeing into the lives of these people. It is my opinion that the Bigfoot may also be stacking rocks to mark these essential mineral deposits (licks) or maybe even as a primitive greeting. Twenty some years ago when I moved from Snohomish County to Pierce County I had the privilege to be introduced to rock sackings, a phenomena I was totally unaware of. There is a mountain road in the area I now live with hundreds of these stacking! This puzzled me for the longest time this road is a dead end going basically nowhere; it just wonders up into the woods, a logging road. Why would anyone or anything take the time to do such a thing? This road became one of my favorite spots to frequent the view is spectacular and beyond the ridge the forest is old and heavy with life. (Yes they hunt this area much to my dismay elk deer cat and bear are taken from these woods annually)
I started to make my own rock stacking with each stroll to the river, which mind you was quite often for my back yard was an unobstructed access to not just the river but miles upon miles of wilderness. Why one could literally take off from my back door and not hit civilization until you reach the other side of the mountains (Cascades).
It was only a few years ago when I happened upon some very unusual sackings a bit further down river. They are made with large heavy rocks and have sticks weaved in and against them. Although balanced they were not symmetrical like mine. I found them to be quite intriguing and studied them often
I did a bit of research on rock stacking and came up many references. Scottish farmers called them Cairns. This ancient phenomenon runs all the way back to ancient Greece. In the mythology of ancient Greece, cairns were associated with Hermes, the god of overland travel. In German and Dutch, a Cairn is known as Steinmann and Stenenman respectively, meaning literally "stone man". Italy, especially the Italian Alps, a cairn is an "Ometto," or a "small man". In the Dorset culture of the north they are known as Inushuk or Inuksuit. Inuksuit may vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. It is a symbol with deep roots in the Inuit culture as well as many cultures around the world. In many cases they are thought of as symbolic of man or directional markers that signify safety, hope and friendship. Obos is a Japanese term for these sackings or pilings of rocks. The practice is ancient and meaningful

Yes I have come across Bigfoot track out here; actually not just myself but my mother as well discovered a very big and detailed foot print in the river bed sand. She immediately brought it to my attention and questioned what kind track it that? Is it a bear? What kind of "bear" leaves 16 inch long and 8 inch wide track, with five distinct toes? She repeatedly asked me for an answers but my only reply to her was that it was no bear track. "Then what is it?" she replied and I told her to tell me. Past experiences have told me not to speak my mind , this had only brought me ridicule and frustration so I kept my thoughts to myself . I questioned her back and again asked her to tell me. What makes a man-like print that large, what do you think it could be? I could see her facial expression change as she had no other choice in actually verbalizing the words "a Bigfoot?" Hearing these words from here gave me a kind of release, I felt like screaming EUEKA! Of course it was Bigfoot track there was no doubt in my mind and now I had another witness to my long held testimony to the reality of these creatures. My Mom (Judy)!
The below picture was taken from the same area that these rock stackings were found.
Taken moments apart
GEOLOGICAL BIGFOOT = Transparency.
There is a geological connection to potassium, K feldspar, Rubidium and Bigfoot encounters. Countless hours of researching potassium / rubidium… was repeatedly pointing me towards a phenomenon known as Electro-magnetically Induced Transparency or EIT.
Could this be what I witnessed, my conclusion is YES only a modified version PPIT.
Everything I had seen studied and read up to this point strongly suggested that this is taking place; but not in a laboratory under controlled and created conditions, no. This is was natural occurrence taking place within the bodies of a very old and very elusive undiscovered species , the Bigfoot. Believing that these beings are man-like and not having a body of a Bigfoot, I have based many of my findings on human anatomy.
The following is a quote from PPIT part 1.
"In many Bigfoot sightings there are reports of them "vanishing" in some type of apparent dematerializing act. There is one report in particular where the witness stated that the Bigfoot walked straight down into the ground (disappeared). There is a possibility the animal did not go down into the ground (no visible cave entrance or trap doors), but rather gave the appearance of doing it. You see, the electromagnetic energies come from the surface up, meaning that the induced transparency would first occur at the feet and then work up. There are also reports of Bigfoot running and then just suddenly disappearing; this too is proposed that because, when spotted, they are no longer within these magnetic fields, so they will run towards the magnetic fields and thus "disappear" once they have entered. Again, we have the account in Three Rivers, NM, where on a sunny day, witness John Bohannon saw a Bigfoot that "stood higher than the ocotillo cactus" walking on a short ridge parallel to his truck. The Bigfoot looked at him, and he looked at the Bigfoot, and then John watched as the creature as it seemingly "walked into an invisible wall" and all at once disappeared. This area was found to be rich in granodiorite rock (a plutonic rock which is a granite-diorite mix) located just on the other side of the mountain, adjacent to the Ruidoso, NM, area where a "hot spot" of Bigfoot activity is currently being investigated by numerous Bigfoot researchers".
PPIT
PPIT= electromagnetic energies (light) that are temporarily detoured out and around the emitted disturbance creating a pocket or bio- force field of "invisibility" within the briefly altered path of light. Hypothetically this bio-altering refraction starts with ones body, a cellular DNA communication spreading via nonlinear coherence and Quantum entanglement. Coherence is one of the unique properties of laser light, yes even DNA laser light. The bodies of all living things absorb and emit light. Light is emitted from the body through photons / bio-photons. A photon is a single particle of light. Bio-photons are weak coherent emissions of light from the cells of all living things plants, animals and humans. A laser like light generated in DNA has been experimentally demonstrated by P. P. Garajev as a key element in the cell, DNA transmission system. PPIT gives suggestive evidence of rubidium held within the body, specifically within the cells electrolyte fluids and organelles as a key component in this bio-communication which induces bio transparency.
