Researchers since then from all over the world have gone hunting yeti and Sasquatch with infrared, nightvision, motion capture, etc., etc., etc. and all they've found are a lot of deer, squirrels, racoons, badgers, skunks, bears, and other well known animals. They have analyzed droppings and tufts of hair and footprints. Rank amateurs and seasoned professionals have been doing this for decades and they haven't found Sasquat.

Why is that?

Are you really suggesting a government cover-up of Bigfoot? To what purpose?

A question i have is that so many claim hoax this and hoax that and then come right back and say with so many hunters out there why haven't they shot one.
The question is that with so many hoaxers and so many hunters then why hasn't a hunter shot a hoaxer?

Montana Man Killed During Bigfoot Hoax - ABC News

Wasn't shot but was run down....

THere are some claims on websites I can see via google but they are the usual bigfoot sites and I'm not going to click on them.

I was just playing along with the idea that bigfoot existed

if so ,I don't know why such a creature would eat deer. no other monkeys or apes (besides humans) eat deer. It would be very difficult for a large primate to hunt a deer without weapons.

All I'm getting at is that IF they exist they probably didn't have a major amount of deer in their diet or their numbers would have catastrophically declined.

Chimps can catch similar prey in the jungles via group hunting.

Common chimpanzee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This explains the employed strategy and prey that include duikers and pigs.

How do you know that they have not? Some think that when a person has great proof then he will just run to the news stations and tell the whole great story.There are imo a whole host of people that have proof and don't want anyone to know. Not everyone wants this so called fame and fortune. This would be a life changing experience wouldn't it? I wouldn't want my farm over ran with lookey lou's and wanna be BF killers wanting to get a bunch of cash. Once your privacy is gone then you will never get it back. There would be people that like you and those that would hate you and even those that might just sue you to try and make a buck.

Think the cry for human rights that would have to be sorted out or as some say look what it would do to the timber industry and having to publicly set a side an area for them. Think of the money and turmoil it would cost to do so. Were i the govt i would be looking at using the DNA to create a super soldier that would follow orders blindly etc. Possibilities are nearly endless.

Think about the result of shooting one.Is it human enough to call this murder? Some will say yes. Someone will say they want you shot for shooting one. In my state if it isn't human and there are no laws written for the hunting or harvesting it then they say you cannot shoot it.

NEVER try to dress up and act as Bigfoot. If I see anything resembling Bigfoot in a remote area, I am plowing into it with my truck and/or shooting it. Not a good idea.... I am not going to be the crazy guy with a fuzzy photo, I am bringing back a body .

Obviously I would use discretion if I was in Ohio or a populated area, but in backwoods Alaska, Yukon or similar places your ass is getting run over if you try to dress up like Bigfoot. Why someone would think this is a good idea is beyond me.

I wonder if there is enough Bigfoot believers, that if I started a guiding business up here in AK offering remote Bigfoot hunts, complete with guns, if I'd have any clients ?

Yep, I am allowed to vote. Got to love America. I am obviously having some fun here on the freaking Bigfoot forum... If you read my posts you would see that I am a skeptical non believer... That must of went over your head though. Don't worry I don't drive around looking for Bigfoot with my gun (except on the weekends).
