Here's a thing -and I'm not just focusing on Bigfoot, but it's a question that I've juggled with
for some time now.

Where does Bigfoot sleep?

I understand that someone might suggest a cave straight away, but ponder what that can mean
in the aspect of confining oneself and limiting escape options. However, sleeping under the stars
in the open also brings a vulnerability to discovery.

It's a pickle to ponder.

In the woods.

Bigfoot sleeps in the woods.

Folks find "brush huts" (they look a little like an Apache wickiup, but more primitive and temporary) and bedding areas all the time, not realizing that it was a big hairy ape that made them, because of course there are no big hairy apes outside of Africa and Sumatra, so that couldn't be what made them.

The bedding areas that aren't accompanied by a brush hut look like deer "lays", but they don't have the deer shaped depressions. It takes a discerning eye to tell the difference, and sadly there aren't many real trackers with that sort of discernment left any more in the US.  Australian Aborigine trackers and some of the African tribal trackers could probably tell the difference, but they are few and far between in the "civilized" world.

To be honest, I might doubt the African trackers. I hear that several were imported into France recently to help some archaeologists with some Neanderthal tracks they found at Le Rozel. One of the tracks in particular is being billed as evidence that some Neanderthals were taller than previously thought, based upon that track. The problem for me is that any competent tracker should be able to tell that the track in question is actually TWO tracks, one laid on top and offset forward from the other. The forward offset makes the track look longer, IF it were but one single track, which it isn't.

Here is the track in question. The photo on the left is the one being used to claim that Neanderthals were as tall as modern humans, while the one on the right I have outlined the two separate tracks. Neanderthal feet were quite a lot broader than modern human feet, and the track(s) being confused as a single track may be understandable if one is preconditioned to look for modern human tracks, because if it were a single track, it would not be as broad as Neanderthal feet, and would have an outline closer to modern human feet. I don't know what the arrow is for - that is definitely not the direction of travel, as the heels of the prints are pretty clear, and show the direction of travel was exactly opposite the arrow.





For comparison purposes, here is a clearer Neanderthal footprint found in the mud of a cave:





It shows that Neanderthal feet were much broader than the average modern human foot.
