Would you shoot him? If you're on private land and you see bigfoot, would you shoot him. Presumably, he's not defined as a game animal, so you wouldn't need a tag. Legally, I think you'd be okay, but there is the chance that it is someone trying to make a joke.

I hunt mainly in OK, which has a disproportionate amount of Bigfoot sightings. I ever see Bigfoot, I'm taking the shot.

ETA: I'm glad I'm not the only one...
Posted By: shortactionsmoker Re: Bigfoot - 12/05/11
With my luck I'd shoot and miss. Then I'd have the same evidence of a sighting as the other nut jobs on the Discovery Channel.

Went bear baiting with a friend and his dad this last spring. During one of the trips, it came up that the dad was a serious prankster. One of his pranks was that he had an incredibly life like Gorilla suit that he would scare people with, including his son way back in the day.

As my friend had never suitably gotten him back, I suggested we kipe the suit, smuggle it into the bait station when the dad wasn't along, and then let the son get recorded on the game can wearing the suit.

Unfortunately, it never worked out.

Or maybe fortunately.....

I live in the middle of Bigfoot country, when ever I go somewhere I have to drive through BF habitat and everytime I hope one crosses the road or I see one while out calling preds. Unless my life depended on it I'd leave it go and for the rest of my life, I'd Know They Exist. They don't seem to be overly aggressive or wreak havoc on the local game populations.

Interesting that there has never been an in focus picture of bigfoot nor a sighting during an open bear season. I told one of the infamous bigfoot hunters of the Northwest that I would indeed shoot a bigfoot if I saw one. He seemed a bit put out with that idea. He argued that such a rare and unique creature should never be killed. I countered that the harvesting of one bigfoot would be invaluable to the scientific community, at least until they got the ape suit off in autopsy. laugh

Well, since there has been no concrete evidence that bigfoot actually exists, you'd have to realize you were probably shooting at a man in a suit or fur coat, or a bear you couldn't positively identify as to species.

I was taught to not shoot unless I could positively identify my target.

I'd hate to shoot Uncle Jake in his gorilla suit and have to explain myself.
Posted By: UncleJake Re: Bigfoot - 12/05/11
Ummm, that was something we talked about in excessive detail. Without going into great detail, let's just say that we had a Task Hazard Analysis worked out to minimize the risk. Said friend is a safety engineer!

I definitely would not advocate running around the woods in say, WA, during hunting season wearing a gorilla suit. Even I am not that crazy!

I'm pretty sure bigfoot is a protected specie in Washington state so you'd likely become locked up and famous, not rich and famous.

Good idea. Plus, it's supposed to be big and thus, easy to hit.
Posted By: IndyCA35 Re: Bigfoot - 12/05/11
What if Bigfoot turned out to be real? It might be a subspecies of Homo sapiens, in which case you'd be tried for murder if you shot one.

It also might be Homo erectus (a formerly common human ancestor species which is otherwise extinct). In that case, the law is unsettled and there would be endless proceedings about whether you committed murder or not.

Probably not erectus because erectus made fire, and no one claims bigfoot does. But maybe Homo habilis. Is that one human?

It would be a very good idea not to shoot it.

Assuming you're serious ...

Legally it depends on what state you are in. Some states list what is protected or regulated and everything else is legal to shoot. Other states list what is legal to shoot and everything else not on that list is protected. Better be sure how your state's laws work.

Him? How do you know its not a her? A biological species requires both to reproduce. Look closely at "Patty" .. definitely female.

I've seen them. I was able to watch long enough to know what I saw was no hoax, no mis-identification of any other known species. They're real. I've had some minimal interaction with them a couple times. So far, all I've seen was curiosity, humor, and concern for their young. Their behavior tells me they are people. Not human / Homo sapiens sapiens, that's a biological thing. People is a behavior thing. They're more people than a lot of our kind.

So ... would I shoot them? Hell no. No more than I would, unprovoked, shoot you. In fact, if I saw someone getting ready to shoot one other than in self-defense, I'd probably kill that person, same as I would defend one of our kind of people about to be murdered.

Laugh if you wish.

Well, shooting or not shooting is not a reality since they exist only in the minds of Discovery channel producers and people who believe in ET, Santa, the Easter Bunny, fairies, leprechauns, ghosts and the host of fantasy creatures inhabiting the programing of cable channels.

IF they actually existed, given the number of supposed eye-witness "sightings", someone would have shot one already. Notice that anyone that see one seems never to have the ability to actually focus their camera? "Hunters" that see them always have an excuse for not being able to get off a shot. Please.

If you shoot one there will be trouble, not because "they" are a protected species, NO "unknown but possibly primate" DNA from hair samples etc means "they" DO NOT exist. The problem will be because you shot some idiot in a gorilla suit or a bear out of season.

Not sure -- You COULD prove the existence or non-existence of Bigfoot with a single bullet, but what if when you approach him, you find a zipper on the back of the costume and someone inside. What do you tell the game warden when he checks your hunting license? Oh yea, did you shoot him in or out of season?

His recipe (by atomic weight):
Kryptonite - 50%
UFOnium - 25%

Not any old lube will work also. But the old dead guys were on the right track with Sperm Whale oil.

Lube recipe: (by height)
Hoaxified Sea Foam (only found in the Bermuda Triangle) - 50%
Martian Sperm (Green) - 40%
Pixie Dust (from the Tilt-O-Whirl) - 10%

Well they didn't mention a specific make or model but I'm qioting an authority here ....

*We deemed it necessary to use pointed, jacketed, high-velocity rounds for all our open-range Sasquatch hunts because soft expanding rounds were bouncing off their thick skulls. Soft rounds would only leave them wounded running through the woods holding their heads screaming in agony. It became inconvenient for our guests and guides to chase a wounded animal for hours in the thick brush just to put them out of their misery.

How could something as large as a bigfoot exist without someone, somewhere, sometime shooting one?

Not to mention finding hair, DNA, turds, used condoms, bigfoot gay porn, etc.

Also, how have they dodged cars and 18 wheelers for a century now.

Guess that whole "tastes like chicken" part went right over your head, huh? I mean, what's a bigfoot maybe weigh - 300lb easy? Let's say a third of that is edible meat. That's like a hundred ph'n pounds of chicken, man, boom. Who wants to eat deer all winter?

p.s. in all seriousness, am not worried about the shoot/don't shoot situation ever occurring, and if it does, I got bigger problems.

Nope, satire did not go over my head. Just don't think if a man is ever in such a situation such as described by the OP that he should jump to a shoot situation. Evidently my response was enough to trigger the moderators to begin with on this site. so I need to be carefull with what I say. My stance is that if you were ever given the chance to observe an animal that rare and he was of no danger to you, why would you kill him/her?

I know a bigfoot hunter (with a camera) and he says there are two schools of thought on shooting one. One school is to kill one of them to prove their existance. The other school is to NOT shoot it since it has to be an endangered species. Kinda like killing an Ivory-billed woodpecker to prove the exist(ed.)

Me, not a chance I'd shoot one. Probably because I'd be afraid it would be someone in a monkey suit playing a prank on another person, but wandering into my sighting plane. Second, I just don't want to shoot a primate (in case it's real.)

Me, not a chance I'd shoot one. Probably because I'd be afraid it would be someone in a monkey suit playing a prank on another person, but wandering into my sighting plane. Second, I just don't want to shoot a primate (in case it's real.)

Tom, to be honest, I was WTF-ing the entire quote, really. I mean, I don't disbelieve in Bigfoot. That's why I asked the question. I really want to know if I would be the only one to shoot if I saw one. Obviously if there was a question as to the authenticity, then I wouldn't shoot. If there were ever any doubt as to whether I was shooting at a jokester or the real McCoy, then I obviously would err on the side of safety. But if I did see what you described as a certainty, then I would see no moral issue with taking one, literally in the name of science. I guess my main WTF moments were where you say you've observed and interacted with them, as well as that you would take the life of a human being getting ready to take one that wasn't in self defense. Not calling you crazy, because I've got beliefs that people can't understand, but man...please elaborate.
Posted By: T_O_M Re: Bigfoot - 12/07/11
Thanks for framing the question. I'll try to explain. It might work, it might not.

I'll tell you that in "bigfooting circles" the debate between pro-kill and no-kill rages on, it's not just here. A lot behind the well thought out discussion comes down to whether bigfoot are intelligent, reasoning "beings" or are "dumb apes." Not too many people today want to publicly advocate murdering people, no matter how primitive, in the name of science.

I see it like this .. their behavior says "people", not "dumb animal." Dumb animals don't have curiosity or humor, they don't show respect or restraint. I've seen all of those. To me it says they are some kind of people, regardless of the biological differences. More "human" than some of our monsters like Charles Manson or Ted Bundy.

So far as taking a life. Here's the thought process, you don't have to accept it.

Most here I think will accept this much: (a) if someone attacks me, I'll kill to preserve my own life, and (b) if someone attacks my kid, I'll kill to preserve her life.

The law, here, allows me to intervene for a third party even if I don't know them. Y' gotta decide whether the costs are worth it, but for me, if its clear who is the aggressor, I'll probably get involved. Lets say for instance someone walks into McDonalds and opens fire on the crowd. If I can, I'll kill the SOB to try to save other people even if I could have just slipped out the back door.

So far so good? Then lets put it together:

Since I see bigfoot as a kind of people, I see killing one, unprovoked, other than in self defense, as MURDER.

I will act to stop a murder up to, and including, taking the murderer's life myself.

I'm not trying to convert anyone. Just stating where I stand, and why.

So you've witnessed this in Jane Goodall fashion, but never seen dogs show curiosity, restraint, respect, or maybe by some stretch, humor? Hm.

Few years ago I learned that I've known bigfoot my entire life. His name is Mark and he lives in Idaho. He was doing his bigfoot thing one day in the Wallawa wilderness. Rolling rocks down a canyon. And camping for the weekend with another friend of ours. Turns out some people were nearby. Couple days later there was a guy on the radio talking about how he saw bigfoot hurling refrigerator sized rocks down a canyon in the Wallawa wilderness the previous weekend.

Yup, me and bigfoot had some good times in college.

I wouldn't shoot one for several reasons. First of all, it might be a dude in a suit. Secondly, even if it were real, it might be more human than not and I'm sure I would feel like a murderer. Thirdly, what if you shot it but only wounded it? A wounded and pissed off bigfoot would probaby make a wounded bear or cape buffalo seem mild in comparison. And finally and maybe most importantly, what if you shot it and killed it, but it wasn't the only one? Try getting out of there alive if you shot a bigfoot's moma, daddy, kid, husband, or wife.

Bingo! Exactly right! Also FWIW, I agree with Tom. But, I sure wouldn't kill someone that was trying to kill a bigfoot, but I'd try to stop him. If I couldn't stop him, I'd be opening an extra-large can of GONE and get the hell outta there fast!

A tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence has been collected and scrutinized over the decades. Foot print castings which include dermal ridges, hair samples, blood and tissue samples, film (Patterson the best example), etc.

Blood and tissue samples have over the years been DNA tested, and are inconclusive. Several samples have been determined/identified as "unknown primate".

Realistically, the ONLY way to prove the existence of a currently unknown and undocumented North American primate/hominid will be for a dead body to be produced for scientific study.

Posted By: Bill Poole Re: Bigfoot - 12/10/11
I would not shoot. Doubt I'll have the opportunity.

There is an interesting "documentary" from norway called Troll Hunter. you can rent it from Netflix.

I believe Trolls and Bigfoot are the same species (as are leprechauns, elves, fairies, jinn, yeti and a few others) and they are all extinct and have been for 30,000 years, but the stories kept being told around the cook fire from generation to generation "grandpa saw one on the other side of the mountain when he was young...." and those stories are of homo sapiens encounters with homo erectus (neanderthal) 1000 generations ago.

What I offered was MY theory, that the stories have been retold 30,000 years and that occasional sightings, of say a mangy bear, are mistaken for this "Bigfoot" that once lived, but has long been extinct.

it is possible, but extremely unlikely I'd guess, that a relic population of neanderthals exist on earth, it is possible, but only slightly more likely that an undiscovered species of secretive nocturnal huge primate exists in north america.

I believe "bigfoot" sightings have been erroneous sightings of known animals or of hoaxes (ie the witness is the victim of the hoax) (I'd guess that TOM is in one of those 2 categories) or are hoaxes (the "witness" is a hoaxer).

but I find the topic very intriguing and, my belief might be wrong (it often is) and it would REALLY be cool to encounter and prove another large species like that.

the only way to conclusively prove it would be to have a live one in a cage or a dead one on the ground.

T O M,

I've been intrigued by the bigfoot phenomenon since seeing the Patterson-Gimlin film when I was about 8 years old (1968). Scientists, film experts, special effects guys have all tried to break the film down. The muscles flexing under the hide is something that is hard to fake. Remember this film was shot in 1967 when there was no photo shop or computer imaging.

No he did not. The person who shot the film died of cancer in 1972. He swore on his death bed that the film was authentic. The other guy, Bob Gimlin still swears that the creature was real to this day. There is a lot of mis-information out there. Sorry Hubert.

i am always amazed at how many believe this creature exists and now of course we have a reality show on it. No skull and no bones ?

So in how many years of riding out settling the west and how many un-countable hunting trips over the last 100+ years no one has yet shot one ?

seems odd to me i know i would put a hole in it if i seen it, so until someone has a carcass i dont think it exists.....

What you guys may have seen is some old phart that they interviewed that said that he had hoaxed a bunch of bigfoot prints in the PNW area over the years. And he showed his fake feet that he strapped to his boots to do it.

But there's no way possible that he and his buddies could have faked any more than just a very small percentage of the prints found in a small area over a small period of time. There is no possible way that they could account for the thousands of prints that have been found for over a hundred years all over this country, Canada, and other places around the world.
