don't shoot bigfoot

When I first moved to the Pacific NW I met a fellow hunter and was talking to him about hunting opportunities. During the conversation I very seriously asked him "So, have you seen one?". He looked kinda puzzled and I said "You know, a Bigfoot". Eyes rolled.

Seriously, A friend of mine and I have determined that all bigfoot sightings around here are just our buddy Steve with his shirt off.
 
why is he worth $1m alive, but not dead? if they just want to prove he exists, and see what makes him tick, i see no difference in dead or alive.

i have no tag for bigfoot - sd doesn't issue bigfoot tags, and in their rules you can't kill non-game species (any species which isn't specifically allowed, is what it boils down to). as such, i suppose i'd let him walk, but were he to get aggressive, i'd wager a pair of barnes xlc's out of my 300 win mag would put an end to any threat.
 
You don't believe in bigfoot?

Neither do I. It's one of those things I'd like to believe in, very high "cool" factor, but with us folks traipsing around this continent for so long I don't see how one would not have been positively I.D.'d by now. New species are normally found where there is a low density of people. Doesn't seen to apply to the U.S. with us living and vacationing over nearly every square inch of the country.

So, if I saw one, it would be the highlight of my decade, but I'm sure given the option I'd let him walk. What would you do with the meat? How does one go about skinning a bigfoot? Taxidermy? For all that hassle, I'd just say I saw one and let you all laugh at me.
 
If "bigfoot" exsists can you imagine how strong such a beast would be? Especially with adrenalin flowing from someone trying to catch him alive. 1 million isn't worth squat if it kills you trying to collect it. Sorry but not me. :neener:
 
This will cause Art to mutter under his breath, I'm sure, but I'm booting this over to the hunting forum.

I didn't mean to cause any muttering, just a friendly jab at the "what gun for zombie/bigfoot/alien" threads. If it's borderline please fell free to lock it up and I'll say I'm sorry.
 
Well, to me Bigfoot is a lot like UFO sightings... like somebody's sig line says, "now that everybody has camcorders, nobody talks about seeing UFO's".

No... I'm not too worried about stopping a Bigfoot... not nearly so worried as I would be about stopping a Grizzly Skunk before it sprayed.:uhoh: I know Grizzly Skunks exist because I read about 'em in Outdoor Life once.:cool:

I'm not so sure the .300 winchester magnum would put him down, even with two shots. I'm pretty sure though that if it didn't, you'd probably walk funny from where he broke the stock off in your butt.

Don't forget about the poor guy that shot the grizzly four times with his .300 win mag, and his buddy three shots from a .338 mag before it finally fell. First one to the center of the head, next six to center mass. Just because it says "magnum", doesn't mean that the animal is going to lay down and die at the sight of it.
 
i'll burn that bridge when i get to it. in the mean time, maybe i'll break out the 338 win mag, what w/ big foots all over and all that!

i've heard from people who should know that sometimes bears seem bulletproof because many of them are shot sopping wet - and the water in their hair apparently does strange things to bullets. dunno - i never shot a bear, they don't make any here.

and as for laying down and dying... heh, well, i've shot a critter or two in my days and know that i generally have to do something w/ the magnum to cause the critter to lay down - but i've never hit something and had them not lay down and die... and yeah, almost all of my rifles are magnums of some sort, so most were hit w/ magnums.
 
I am just about certain that one could charge $5000 a plate at a BBQ...

I bet there are more than 200 burgers in a full-grown Sasquatch. :uhoh:
 
What's a wolverilla? You shoot a sasquatch in the same place you shoot a moose. Close to the road. And a million dollars isn't enough. A million dollars doesn't buy what it used to.
 
Anyone ever read the Bigfoot threads on the old Marlin Boards? Now that was some entertaining stuff!
 
Wolverilla: A cross between a wolverine and a gorilla. Not something ya wanna mess with.

Second in mean only to a crocagator*.

:), Art

* Okay. A crocagator has a croc's head on one end and a gator's head on the other. No tail. No ????. No can poop. Makes him mean.
 
I have a friend that could pass for Chewbaca (if he didn't shave 3 times a day). I can get him drunk and in a cage, and I'll split the million with anyone that get his clothes off:barf:

Art, meaner than this guy......

My cousin Paulie could easily pass as a bigfoot. He wears a gold chain around his neck so he can tell where to stop shaving. I bet he'd let me bring him in alive if I offered to split the money.
 
Back in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens was getting ready to blow up, this area experienced a plague of reporters from all over the country. The reporters, of course, were each working hard at filling air time while they waited for something to happen. One waitress at the local deli made national news when a reporter asked her, "Do you think the mountain is going to blow?"

She replied, "Yes, I know it is and when it does it's going to be bad. I know it's going to be bad because I saw a bunch of Bigfoots coming down off the mountain yesterday, and all of them were carrying suitcases."

:D

Griz...

When Griz mentioned wolverilla...I thought it was a wolverine and a gorilla mix. That would be pretty sweet!! Can you imagine such a creature? Talk about an aggressive being!
