Questions questions, i have so many qustions, can anyone tell whether it has been established whether there is a predictable migratory pattern to yowies, do they stay in one territory and range out from there?, do they move from place to place over several years or do they move seasonally.
Do they push their teenage yowies out to new area's? ( take ya playstation with ya too...joke.

Hey there topender
They are some hard questions and I say hard because really we know very little in regards to the big fella and its movements but as far as I know they are nomadic and move from place to place but there is no conclusive evidence to this.
Unless we can put a satellite tracking device to there ankles I think it will remain a mystery.
I have often thought about if they have communities where they can unite and move off again in search of food or whatever they get up to out there in the bush.
They must be able to find their own kind relatively easy for reproduction measures and to keep the species alive.
But as soon as I start talking species or flesh and blood something always brings me back to the paranormal with these guys. I am not sure what it is.
There are certain attributes associated with the big fella which most people turn a blind eye to I like to keep an open mind.
I think it’s up to the individual to do his or her research and to come up with their own conclusions and of course always keep that open mind.

All jokes aside ( well most ), it seems that their appearance is timed to certain times of the year or seasons, i thought that perhaps they move to different locations depending on the season ie: food availability, tempreture etc. all of the activity/sightings in the topend seems to coincide with the cooler dry season..where do they go in the wet season or does their behaviour alter ie: " lets just stay home in the cave for a couple of months ". if so, one could time expeditions to certain locations depending on time of the year... am i off the mark here by a large margin ?. I will gear up to spend some quality yowie time in the dry season.
If anyone is venturing up this way please let me know, would be nice to catch up.
cheers

Yes you are on the right track right.
You see its all probable in my opinion. To say they go from this place to this place depending on seasons is here say. We have no evidence of this.
To say they range out from a basis point and stick to an certain area well they do do that.
As you can go off of sighting reports and say they do happen to pop up in the same areas time and again
We can really only go of sighting reports and say they are spotted in all seasons.
Take the North American Sasquatch for example where on earth do they go during the winter months when it is under 4 feet of snow. How do they survive? Do they have access caves surely not all of them have this access.
