Whether you are still hunting in full camo, sitting in a blind or doing a spot and stalk, if you run across a Sasquatch what do you do? We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | ||

I have just watched a documentary on searching for the swamp creature of Louisiana/ Florida called the Skunk Ape. You sure have some interesting wildlife over in the US and I would love to see real evidence someday. | |||

BANG! NRA Life Member Gun Control - A theory espoused by some monumentally stupid people; who claim to believe, against all logic and common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun. | |||

Nah, leave it alone. If you shot it, may well have done away with future candidate for high elected office such as House Rep., Senate or even President!! | |||

Thats a tough one years ago I would of said shoot it, mount it and brag about it. Now that I am a little older I am torn between that and letting it walk. I most likely would let it walk unless he posed a danger to me then bang its dead. | |||

this makes me laugh at the shows on either discovery or natgeo right now as they are airing some film crews out there searching for the non-existent man-ape. So, I voted shoot and brag because I'd be the one proving they exist but because I know they don't we can put this thread to rest.  Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Those trailers are funny. I especially like the guy who says, "We've got a squatch in these woods." He's so serious. Really though this is just another good reason to hunt whitetail deer with a .375H&H. LWD | |||

The best evidence for the existance of Sasquatch(other than myself and Jeffeosso), is the ability of an unrelated creature to be completely hidden from human eyes. The Colorado grizzly was thought to have been wiped out in the early 1950s. It was rediscovered living at the highest elevations in the mid 1980s. Extremely leary of anything resembling a human. If a critter such as a bear can remain completely hidden, then why not a primate? Why not a primate or primative human remain even more elusive?

Sasquatch is a myth. ONLY a myth. Nothing but a great topic for discussion if someone is truly bored out of their mind. If I was hunting and really really saw one I'm shooting. PERIOD. Then of course I'd be scared shitless that I just shot another dumbass in an ape suit. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

There is too much info out there for there not to be something there. The reason for them not being officially discovered is hard to explain, but the evidence is out there everywhere all over the country. It is just like saying there is no ghost or space alien. It would be a hard call as to shoot or don't shoot. It would be cool to finally have definitive proof, but un-discovered things make for an interesting environment, too. Go to BFRO.net and read the sighting reports. There is interesting stuff there. There was a guy on an archery forum that I was on a few years back that did lots of his own research with his own time and money and it was fascinating reading. His time was spent in Colorado and he found interesting evidence. | |||

It is a known fact that sasquatch love to eat wolves. They can howl like a wolf and when the wolves approach they strangle them and eat them. Save an elk, don't shoot a sasquatch! 465H&H | |||

If you see one, it'll just be a Jackass wrapped in a Chewbacca suit. I wouldn't shoot him, but I'd probably scare him until he peed in his rented costume so he'd have to pay extra when he returned it to the store. Si tantum EGO eram dimidium ut bonus ut EGO memor | |||

Sasquatch are protected in one county in Washington, most likely an attempt to prevent some ignorant hoaxer from being shot! http://www.omg-facts.com/view/Facts/30312 | |||

Yea, you're right. All man-made info out there though! Ongoing hoax that has gone out of control. But still great for a laugh!! Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

There is another response I forgot to put in the poll. As a friend once told me.....What do you do if you see a BigFoot?....Throw shit at him cuz you'll have plenty of it on hand! We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | |||

It would depend on the laws in the state you are hunting. [Also consider, it will most likely be a real human in a costume, thus if you shoot, murder charges would apply]. However I was told this "tale" and it is supposed to be a true story. Seems a fella was deer hunting when he daw a Chimp, loping along on his lease and shot it... Well the story gets out, and come to find out the lady that owns the land next door to the lease is running a medical chimp rescue "home". One of her chimps got out and the hunter shot it. She calls the "law" and the game Warden gets involved... Nothing in State Law prohibits shooting a Chimp, so no charges are filed, thus the "lady" is madder than a wet hen. The Game Warden advises her to keep them locked up if she does not want them killed... DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Out of all the animals in Africa, chimps rank right up there of those that scare the bejesus out me. Never follow a bad move with a stupid move. | |||

IIRC, sometime in the mid 1960's California made it a felony to shoot Bigfoot or even to harass it in any way. What do you expect from the land of friuts, nuts, and flakes? Paul B. | |||

Here in PA "Invasive species" may be shot on sight. As for why they wouldn't be seen (resuming for purpose of discussion that they DO exist) how often does the average schmuck see a Coyote, Wolf, Bobcat or Cougar? Predators by nature are real good at not being seen. Cats especially have enormous talent at avoiding being seen... like the non-existant cougar that got himself road killed in Connecticut. I areas of sparse population, vast tracts of wilderness... you could likely hide a herd of elephants, hiding a large primate that is far more stealthy isn't all that far fetched. AD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||

You are right everyone knows you need a double rifle in at at least 450/400 for game of that tenacity. | |||

If they existed some drunk in Washington state would have already road killed it. 465H&H | |||

Well, that really doesn't matter how often they are seen by the avg schmuck because we all know the above referenced animals exist. Simply put, enough people have seen them, kept them as pets, rescued them, hunted them, etc.
Elephants exist. Large primates that are stealthy (bigfoot) do not.  Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

I'd let it walk, and try to get pics or video. If I couldn't get proof I'd shutup about it. Wouldn't want people thinking I'd lost it altogether. Nate | |||

Hold on, Doc.. I,d argue that large stealthy primates have managed to fool some pretty big voting populations into believing in them... Now if you run that equation backwards.. | |||

There are new species discovered virtually every year world-wide. There is no reason why this highly intelligent critter cannot exist in secret. Yes, it does seem odd that none have been hit on the road, accidentally shot for a bear etc., etc. It is just as plausible to say they exist as to say that it is nothing but a hoax. I consider reports from hunters, guides etc. to be totally believable and when tracks are found many miles into a wilderness, then it is not a hoax. If you do not believe in them, that is fine, but do not talk like everyone who does believe it or has seen it is a nut. I find the information on these things to be totally fascinating and I will pass judgment when or if one is finally taken dead or alive. | |||

I'll put it to rest. You certainly have the right to be fascinated or believe what you will. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think anyone like you is a nut. Just caught up in the buzz of what I am certain is nothing more than a long, drawn out hoax. I actually believed that getting married meant sex all the time. That was a BIG hoax!
