There are many animals that you " never" find any remains from. Lions for example. Grizzly bears are another to a lesser extent.

....Maybe bigfoots don' t grow in your area?

Seriously, I doubt the ' myth' we envision when the name Bigfoot is mentioned is what' s really there. I don' t think there is a mythical being slipping through the northern woods like a ghost.

Probably a small population of apes that could have gotten there by a thousand ways is or was what Bigfoot really is. Even a fairly large population would be hard to stumble on. for example I know guys that have hunted thier whole lives in the north georgia mountains and have never seen a black bear up there. We know there are bears there. Many are taken every year.

My personal belief is that we have a (probably) very small population of north american apes.

I saw somewhere in the news last year that there are ferel monkeys living in southeast texas.
