In the woods.

Bigfoot sleeps in the woods...

I understand and the reason I asked was that -looking from an average human's perception, it could open the
possibility of being discovered by a unsuspecting hunter or even a daring bear.

I was going to add a comment on the terrible weather that often surrounds these remote areas having a bearing
too, but as you pointed out, a rudimentary shelter could solve that.

Bigfoot are deemed the apex-predator in the woods and that may negate the bear-option, but a human with
a rifle...? If the heuristic nature of Bigfoot is as well-honed as some suggest, surely that scenario must've crossed
the mind of the elusive creature at some point?

I don't know. But with an unfamiliar-at-this-time scheme, a cognitive mind would have to agree that the open air is
the best solution. It offers multiple escape-routes and easy access to the shelter materials. The other 'advantages'
are the lack of possession-coveting and creating a known position that can be used by an enemy.

I've read of instances of territoriality and male dominance in an area where the use of avoidance is lost in favour
of retaining ones 'clan' or feeding space. Constant roars and in one report,  physical violence was observed.
Of course, there's no verifiable evidence to support this, but it is indictive of primates of all levels!

If the woods is the preferable place for Bigfoot to rest, feed and generally habitate with others, it may give a nod
towards your Neanderthal footprint's width. To me, it implies regular use of walking and terrian-living rather than
a 'tree-friendly' existence.
