In Part 2 of our conversation with Cliff Barackman, curator of the North American Bigfoot Center, we go deeper into what footprints and trackways can actually reveal about Sasquatch behavior. Drawing from decades of field research, Cliff explains why Bigfoot likely doesn’t form human-like “societies,” but instead shows social patterns consistent with known great apes—overlapping home ranges, recurring size classes traveling together, and large males moving along territorial edges. We also tackle a perennial question in cryptozoology: if Bigfoot is real, why don’t trail cameras solve the mystery? The answer lies in ecology and engineering, from limited camera fields of view to high-frequency sounds that wildlife may detect long before a photo is taken.

From there, we dismantle the Bigfoot migration myth by looking at long-term data—repeated tracks from the same individuals across multiple seasons, pointing to stable home ranges rather than continent-spanning movement. Cliff shares practical field strategies that actually work, including targeting corridors near water, understanding seasonal substrates, and methodically expanding search areas over time. We also explore how focused funding and university-linked research could move Bigfoot studies forward, the origins of the North American Bigfoot Center, and why cutting through hoaxes matters more than ever. If you care about reproducible evidence, smart fieldwork, and pushing the conversation beyond noise, this episode delivers.
