I have noticed that the area just to the west of Edmonton has had activity reported in the last few years.First the BFRO report of a Animal running across a secondary highway in the area (apparently a young animal) and then the tracks found in winter near the shores of the frozen Spring lake.The area does have a high amount of forest and is home to many protected areas.I have also recently caught a story from the nearby Enoch reserve about a sighting made at night.I will be heading into this area to do some ice-fishing this week and was wondering could squatch really be in a area relatively close to a major city???I see it does have alot of cover to offer,but would these animals be residents or just vagrants?

I don't see why not. There have been sightings here near Chilliwack River Valley, and near Harrison Lake, also in the Cultus Lake area (especially just over the US border, where it is much wilder). All these are very close to high population areas but are forested with access to extensive wilderness, what I consider a "back door."
Especially when you consider the stories that these creatures are quite comfortable in water, staying close to water and using wooded waterways as potential cover through areas of higher agricultural use and human populations.
Since human activities actually increase the number of deer and also are a source of food for opportunistic omnivores such as raccoons and bears, why wouldn't sasquatch benefit also? They are very smart, possibly nocturnal and extremely elusive, too.

The important factors for possible bigfoot habitat seem to be wooded streams or river systems and an adequate food supply, particularly a large deer population. Reports continue to come in whether they are close to major urban centers or agricultural areas. It has been stated that the Pacific Northwest has a resident population of bigfoot on every watershed. A growing number of researchers are gradually coming to realize that perhaps it is the same situation east of the Rockies. stancourtney.blogspot.com/2007/01/wilderness-paradox.htmlI still think those were real prints and the real sounds I heard in the Edmonton River Valley. peace!

If those were in fact real sasquatch prints (above) that the hiker found along the Kansas River, I see no reason why the footprints that you found along the Edmonton River Valley also belonged to a genuine sasquatch. The majority of sasquatch sightings and footprint finds in our neck of the woods are almost always close to a creek or river. Lookoutman and myself have discussed numerous times the possibility of sasquatch using the brushy habitat (riparian zone) cover along creeks, streams and rivers as their daily trail system to and from certain food plots.

Hi Ken, thanks for responding. That print in the pic from the Kansas river looks very similar to the ones I came across, but than I guess any 5 toed sasquatch print would all look very similar to each other. I just wanted to share the article with everyone here and also as tuffyy was inquiring into the possibility of sasquatch being in our area. Thanks, Max.
