RE: Bigfoot??
most states ahve placed bigfoot on the protected list.
first to do so was california I believe, in order that people would stop riding around with rifles hoping to shoot some big thing in the dark. and second if it is an unknown creature, no one wants to say it was killed in their state.
we guide several people each year that want to look for bigfoot sign and try to see one.
my family has lived in the northern Ny area since before NY existed, my wife' s family was here before that.
no one ever saw one or any sign of one, but they still come to search.
I would place griz, elephant, lion, hippos--yeah hippos---, polar bears, and cape buff ahead of the bigfoot as a rush with a bow in that order.
now wrestling one....well, that' s another story.
