Yowiehunters Forum

Dose anyone have any opinions on Yowie's having migration patterns.

Has there been any correlation found in the time and location of reports?

Are encounters more common at lower altitudes during winter and higher altitudes in the summer?

Do they frequent the same area's at the same times of the year?

I know that FOOD and WATER is needed no mater what time of year it is, but I am thinking of a bigger picture, is there any suggestion of an annual migration, even if there is plenty of food and water in there current location.

Just a few brain strains Ive had this week while on holidays
Cheers

I was going to ask a similar question, but i'll ask it here;

What about the Yowie's mating season? Is there a set time frame for that per year or is it whenever they want to? If the set time frame applies, would you have more of a chance of a sighting or less, as they'd be out looking for females/males?

Hey Ringmaster '

I have been catching a doco on pay tele [ THE NATURAL BORN TRAVELLER ] for those that havn't viewed it as yet , its about a young fella that rides an off road motorcycle for the full length of the Great Dividing Range , Victoria to Queensland .

When watching I couldn't help but wonder about your excact question , it would appear that the entire route that he followed was mountainess bushland for the whole journey . If we can rely on current thinking that is the yowie inhabits predominately the eastern states forrested areas then it would be plausible that as the food source ran low or as has been the case in my area more humans about due to xmass holliday camping trips than the creature would move on to find greener pastures so to speak .

It is known that the old time aboriginals were nomadic and frequented differing areas seasonally depending upon the available food / prey source at the time , even the area where I fish for snapper varies eg : they can be found closer to the inshore reefs around September and wider out during the summer months , possibly due to water temperature and food type .

It would not then in my opinoin be an unrealistic train of thought , that Yowies are indeed migratory , last weekend I visited an area where in the recent past I would say has been fairly hot , with good sign readily seeable where as now it has gone cold with only remnant evidence left over . Thankyou for allerting me to this fact as I will now start a diary based on my findings , just as I do for my fishing pursuits ..

Easily answered.

They are not Nocturnal, Crepuscular, nor Diurnal. They simply do as they please subject to environment.

They are neither carnivore or herbivore. They are, as we are, omnivore.

I do not believe they nomadic. Yes they roam, however, their area is their area and return. They don't 'Migrate' like a flock of birds.

As far as what they do during Winter and Summer, it's all quite simple. Think. Where and what would YOU do/go in any given location?

In regards to "mating Season" - do we have one?

When people begin to foresee these as simple "animals", they have lost focus.

I saw a program on Pay TV called "Is It Real" about Big Foot; there was a lady who said that she used to observe a "family" of BFs roaming about the place
when she was younger. Cannot recall her saying anything about migration. Not sure how creditable her case was though.

As per Deans reply to the Woolgoolga sign thread , the Coffs area lady mentioned that she kind of grew up with a Yowie , but she did say that after leaving and returning from the banana farm over a period of several years that her last contact with him was to find that he had taken a mate and that she felt through this happening that their frienship had come to an end because as a couple they moved on from the area . ???????



sorry guys still trying to work out the whole quote thing , I am a Dinosaur !


MY FINAL DECISION IS MAYBE .............

You're right, Dean. If Bigfoot (and Yowie) and simple "animals", then so are we. Our species does have a mating season, and that is youth. Old people don't want to be aggravated with it.

Thanks guys for reply's,

And cheers Mike, guess ile be off to the library tomorrow lol.

If they have a home range or territory so to speak, what sort of an area are we talking about (say in square klms)

Being such a large creature im thinking it would need quite a lot of food to maintain its body mass, thus needing a large area for the food sources to remain sustainable.

I know there are scientific ways of working this out. (they do it for other animals)
Its a bit over my head though

Not sure about you Ella, but in that case, I must be getting younger every day..........

Al, who knows. I guess that would depend on a lot of issues such as surrounding Human habitat, other clans, food and water sources etc.... I would say many, many miles, as they are extremely fit and it would be a natural way of life. Would be entire mountains, however at the end of the day, home territory is home territory.

LOL, Dean, you're a very handsome young man and nowhere near ready to "retire"! I, on the other hand, am a retired, elderly lady and all my passion is directed toward being a Bigfoot fan. In the USA, we call people over 65 years old "senior citizens". That's me!

we have given this subject a bit of a flogging on the forum before as i have puzzled over this same question, time of year, hilltop corridors or low land creek bed corridors, the only thing i can come up with is anywhere that offers cover is a potential corridor......the vexing question for me is how to locate a "home base territory", up here in the topend i am looking at the MOST inacesable places as being potential home base, thats what i would do if i were a yowie, innacesable to deter others from venturing close to me or my family....if they are as smart as i think they are then thats where they'll be...somewhere humans wont go.


cheers

Really good question and a difficult one to answer. My personal opinion is that this is a yes and no answer. I do not think there is a migration (or movement) based on seasonal temperature variations.

Many US researchers are of the belief that Bigfoot definitely migrates from season to season and often follows forested waterways. These theories are based on sighting peaks and patterns which could indicate a movement south to north and vice versa based on the time of the year.

There has been cases in Australia where sightings of Yowies have occurred on a regular basis at one given location and that actual individual creatures could be identified (eg. from foot marking and such). This would seem to indicate that they are not a migratory species and in fact have set habitual areas. However, there are also many reports of seemingly random sightings taking place in all corners of the country.

If you look at other animal species, family groups will often habitate a given area.... and individuals from these groups willl migrate or leave the family group. For instance, in certain species when a male reaches maturity it will leave the family group and roam in search of a mate to start its own family group.... or roam around and attempt to take control of a population of females etc etc. This make obvious evolutionary sense as to avoid the degenerative effects of inbreeding. I have a feeling that there may be significant movement amongst individuals but family groups are more inclined to remain in a given area.

In regards to the movement of family groups I suspect this does occur but in more rarer circumstances. One of these circumstances would include a reduction in food sources in the groups habitat. Some Aboriginal popualtions were known to move to different areas once food resources became sparse and/or depleted and then return to that area once it had been naturally replenished. Also another reason for movement away from a given area is from the enroachment of their habitat due to humanities never-ending need for urban development and activities such as logging. A classic example of movement due to urban development would be the flurry of activity which occurred in Ormeau in the late 90s and early 00s - this I believe was directly related to the rapid urban development of the area. As far as I am aware that area has gone somewhat quite which may indicate that the population has possibly moved off to a more remote area.

This is all merely speculation of course based on sighting accounts that I am aware of.

Well said Sab I couldn't have said it any better myself

Doc

What is your theory as to the origins of the Bigfoot and if present thinking is correct that there is a genetic relationship to the Yowie than this species also ? . Are you suggesting that they hail from outer space or perhaps have been placed here by some other life forms .

This train of thought would relish Darwins principals to the dark ages although having said that , man had only just discovered the new world when these ideals were formulated , maybe this is the evolution of the theory of evolution . An interesting concept to say the least , for now I will regard the Yowie / Bigfoot as survivors of times long past being able to cling on in an ever decreasing habitat , I fear that even my own research efforts could restrict their natural ways , so let us tread lightly when in pursuit of evidence .

I feel quite confident that Yowies in the area that I frequent are a very natural occurance as is the kangaroo and Koala but due to their human like intelligents and learned fear of man will remain hidden for as long as possible , they are so well adapted to their environment they have no use for our feable ways and so wiil remain in the shadows for a long time to come .

Excellent post, Al! Pretty close to my sentiments exactly.

And Dr, WTF is an "interdimensional creature"? What do you mean by dimension anyway? Guess I'd better do a little research on Google when this crazy weather improves here in central Texas.

doctorscream wrote:Al, I like the "seeding theory", in that interdimensional/supernatural creator or creators, designed species so that they could survive under the current conditions, and then seeded them on the planet. The bigfoot/yowie/etc, as well as the little interdimensional people of all shapes and sizes, were given the ability to exist in dimensions where the predatory dinasaurs could not go, from their beginning. Otherwise they would have been wiped out before they were able to acquire that trait through natural evolution. That trait is useful for getting them through the ice ages, as well as avoiding gun welding man. Man appears to be a dumbed down version of bigfoot, with only a small fraction of the same characteristics, but with some new mental problem solving capabilities. Although the bigfoot/yowie can become quite smart by eavesdropping on our thoughts, they don't really need that intelligence since everything that they need, is free for them.

One question.. if man is a dumbed down version of Bigfoot, why is there 6.8 billion people on earth? Wouldn't you think they would have become the dominant species on earth if we're a dumbed down version?

Don't forget the power generally lies with who has the most numbers

If it looks like a cave man , smells like a cave man than it probably is a YOWIE
