Yowiehunters Forum

I think we'll be seeing alot more of bigfoot in the coming months. It's summer there now, so, they should be out & about. Pity it's winter here, and old mate has gone into hiding (as far as I know).

Fingers crossed, though.

im back ......
i think winter is the best time in
Aus for tracking the yowie,camping
is more fun in the colder mths (QLD)
family trip to Kilcoy comming up soon
always good in winter .

I agree !

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Big Fella is more active in the cooler months.

I forget where but.

Coulda been here.

Coulda been here.[/quote]= steven hey romeo thats another good piont there cooler months may be the time the yowies are more active for the simple reason is that they are coverd in thick hair or fur which would make them feel a bit hot and uncomftable in the summer so to compensate for the exccess heat they get in there bodys they may feel more comftable being on the move in cooler months

I read somewhere that they normally hang around in autumn and spring. I had my encounter round june

Johnothan Hi, tell us about your experience. Where was it? What happened? Don't leave us hanging! LOL!

well i was camping at the Watagans (national park in NSW) and i woke up round 3 cause i could hear something close to the tent. It sounded pretty damn heavy cause it would break any stick it stepped on. I wasn't sure what it was till it grunted (!!). I was s**t scared cause it was like walking around the tent. Then it left but i could still hear it from afar breaking trees and what not. But he wasnt alone. i could hear the noises coming from a few directions.

What was different about the sighting was that i came to the Watagans to look for yowies and i got what i was looking for just by throwing a frankfurt out by the tent

in keeping with the subject,the season for these creatures to be active in any certain area..as i live in the blue mtns,and the winters can be very uncomfotable in the upper mountains in winter.wouldn't it be logical for these creatures to venture to the lower valleys/lower mountains areas during the bitter months.some winters are mild,and food would be available.(wether it be vegetable or animal origin)we could maybe keep a diary(or has someone already done this)of the active months for a given area,kept up to date from any sighting,proven or not.as the months and years unfold,we might see some patterns emerge.i so want to see these creatures proven to exist ,but so many shun the idea as ludicrous.
my own mission...
last month i drove out tablelands road,9pm,on a weeknight,with my 12 year old son,who is convinced that dad is a cracker/nutter.
all the way to the end car park area,1/2 hour+ from the tar.parked,looked around,smelt the air ...then got the f...hell out...we saw,smelt and heard nothing....but i will go again,with a camera next time.i mean..who knows....there might be sumint worht a shot..??keep up this great site

Hey Jonh_K,
Where abouts in the watagans, live around that area and i want to check out any areas with previous sightings. The area you were in sounds pretty good

Well it was real close to the "monkey face" (coincidence?) were alot of people go abseiling. The campground was almost perfectly adjacent the monkey face. the other side of the campground went down a pretty steep hill (where i heard the yowie come from).

Theres a waterfall round there somewhere too. Nice place - mite go there sometime this spring.
