One of the theories is that they do have breeding populations, particularly in remote areas like the Pacific Northwest. Of course, that brings up the question of how come nobody's caught one if there are more of them out there.

They pose as the homeless and no one pays attention to them!

Is the Pacific Northwest of the US that remote? I mean my country has thousands of islands, I can believe if there are some undiscovered species here, but in the US?

Remote, but not remote enough for large primates.

A lot of the mountainous parts have pretty low population densities (and I'm thinking not so much around Seattle or the Olympic Peninsula, but down into parts of Oregon and northern California). Still, I remember seeing something on TV about grizzly bears and they quoted the furthest distance to any regularly used road from anywhere in the lower 48 as a way of explaining that there is nowhere that remote - I don't remember the distance, but they said it's not a long walk for a bear, so of course bears will get into human spaces. They do it all the time. It's hard to believe there's anything else in that region that's large and capable of traversing great distances (which anything resembling a human would be, since it's something humans are good at) that doesn't get into human spaces on the regular, unless it's able to intentionally avoid doing it.

Parts of it, yeah. Most of the population lives near the coast and a handful of cities. There's a lot of forested areas with very low population density that are only accessible by foot.

There's some very remote places in the US, especially if you start looking at states like Montana, Nevada, Arizona, etc. I've known people who live 50-100km from their nearest neighbor in some of the mountain states. The Pacific Northwest is not that remote when compared to other regions of the country.

So for me when people start talking about bigfoot living in more populous states like Washington or California, I'm pretty dubious. Those states are rugged with a lot of large bands of forest and rainforest, but you'd think people would notice big fucking apes.

On the other hand, Louisiana has goddamn bears, and Florida has panthers/cougars. Sometimes remoteness has less to do with physical distance, and more to do with the impassibility of the terrain.
