Often I do as many people in the Bigfoot community do, especially on days when the weather is to bad to go out into the field to do research, I speculate. It was on one such night that that I had the notion, what do these creatures do when the weather gets bad? Do they do what other animals do? What,I'm getting at is that most animals try to find some form of shelter when the weather turns nasty. For instance cattle start congregating around trees, deer start bedding down under the heavy branches of cedars or other close growing trees, and how many times have you heard someone say "We have to hurry and get home before this storm hits."? To me it would seem logical that they would also seek some form of shelter, for instance under a bridge, in the creeks, deserted farmhouses, and barns. But all of this seemed highly unlikely to me because creeks flood, deserted farm house are often shaky at best, and barns bring too high of a chance of human contact. Then I had this crazy notion; what if weather like this is their prime hunting conditions? For instance all of the previously mentioned animal behaviors would be predictable. In stormy weather the rain and thunder might conceal their movement better than moving around on dry dead leaves. Also most people agree that a Bigfoot has a layer of real short fine hair and a layer of longer coarse hairs covering this. Wouldn't this layer of coarse hair act as a raincoat of sorts. If so then the creature scarcely even notice the rain hitting its body, this is the way that I understand that Mammoths, Bison, and Wooly Rhinos coats acted in the last Ice Age, a time which many people attribute the creature known as Gigantopithecus lived. This single attribute would allow the creature to hunt virtually undetected even by the wildlife that seem to know its every move
