Scottish Highlands November expeditions—has anyone gone in proper winter conditions?

Most Sasquatch sighting clusters seem to happen in autumn - lots of eyewitness reports from September through November in places like the Highlands near Cairngorms. But does anyone actually investigate during deep winter? When it's absolutely freezing, the days are three hours long, and visibility is rubbish?

I'm wondering if Bigfoot-type creatures might actually be MORE active in winter (migration patterns, food sources) but we just can't see them because of the weather and darkness. Or if sightings genuinely do drop off because the creatures are hibernating or moved on.

I'm thinking of organising a winter expedition myself - probably mad, but keen to hear if anyone's got experience from harsh-weather Sasquatch hunting.

You'd be mental to go out in the Highlands in January without serious kit. The weather alone will kill you before any Sasquatch will. That said, if they're real, I'd wager they're *more* active in winter - food's scarce, they'd need to roam further. The trick would be getting out alive yourself. Suggest joining an organised group rather than going solo, honestly.

I went on a winter hike in Cairngorms in December (nothing to do with Sasquatch hunting, just stubborn) and saw tracks that I couldn't identify. Could've been a big deer, could've been a feral dog. But the scale seemed off. Didn't see the creature itself, but the print was there in the snow and it was roughly eight inches across. Of course, you can't prove anything from a photo taken on an old mobile with numb fingers, but still.

This assumes they exist in Scotland in the first place, which... evidence? I'm not a debunker, but Scottish Sasquatch sightings are incredibly rare compared to North America. More likely you've got feral dogs, escaped zoo animals, or wishful thinking. Winter conditions would just make it harder to distinguish which.

There's a bloke who runs expeditions up near Fort William who specifically does winter tracking. Can't remember his name, but he's done a few interviews. Might be worth getting in touch? Otherwise, get proper mountain rescue training first. Seriously.
