If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I was thinking about this. It might be my Hill Billy neighbor running around in a gorilla suit or it could be big foot. But do you drop it?

If it's a Bigfoot you can provide proof to the world they exist but if it's your weird neighbor I'm sure jail time might be in your future.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Drop "it" like a bad habit... I think some states have even outlawed killing something they cant even prove exists, lol. But for the greater of science, man and "what if?" I think killing one would be acceptable. When I was a kid I used to be fascinated by the idea of a sasquatch (mainly because I was petrified of Andre "The Giant" dressed up like Bigfoot in all those Six Million Dollar Man episodes, lmao) and I believe deep down inside we want to believe that a "missing link" exists. But I am completely content with our Creator's "recipe" for how human life got here.

But then again if you have ever seen the ancient forests of the North West you can kinda believe something could wander around there for eons without discovery! ;)

If its your neighbor he deserves to get smoked running around the woods in a get-up like that. I would kill it but thats just some college punks opinion.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I'd drop it - but only if there's an open season on bigfoot. Otherwise you'd be put in jail if it was your neighbor or if you'd be in jail for shooting big foot with no open season.

I'd drop him in his tracks, and claim he attacked me and I had to shoot to defend myself!

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

He'd hang on the Rusty Axe Camp Bigfoot Pole.

In MI, I think there is a law saying there is no closed season on "exotics", like if an Emu walked past you in deer season, I think you can touch off on it. I think. And in my book, Bigfoot would classify as an exotic.

If you got up to it and it was your neighbor, well, there's a lot of real thick nasty swamps in the U.P.;)

I'd do what all REAL Bigfoot hunters do ,
I'd smack him with a keg and take pics ! ;) :D

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Here's a subject I have spent many hours thinking about while in the woods hunting.
I would not really want to kill it. I would want to try and capture Bigfoot as killing it would be a waste of the science we could learn. There would be some great info we could learn from a dead one, but not as much as if it were alive.
Besides if a capture or kill were to take place our government would step right in and well..........You remember ET

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

LMAO on three counts....first, the topic in general. Secondly, the reference to the Six Million Dollar Man episodes that brought back some memories....but mostly envisioning Montana Bob throwing a lasso at a Rocky Mountain subspecies Big Foot so he can bring 'em in live. You never know what you might bugle in out there! Let me know if you're successful MT bob....we'll start the RMBFF to facilitate further research and habitat improvement and headquarter it there in Darby. ;)

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

OK Bob, if you have spent so much time considering capture, What method are you thinking? Open Pit with branches on top (like a gilligan's Island episode)?, snare with bait?
pouring salt on its stub of a tail? :D:D:D:D

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Some people think of the meaning of life while in the woods or see the beauty in a possum, whatever. It's good to know other hunters think of things like bigfoot and the methods involved in taking him down.

I had several lengthy debates with my friends during my college years and came to the conclusion, that I could take a whitetail on a fishing pole.

My plan was to be in a tree stand, look for a yearling doe, use braided, very heavy line, an appropriate treble hook, an apple for bait, a stout rod, and a reel with good drag. I think a treestand with a chair like on Quint's boat on Jaws (you know, where I could strap in).

At least I know I am not alone in thinking things like this.

Well the way I envision it is that Bigfoot comes wandering in to my camp from the smell of bacon. I entice him in to share a meal. He likes it so much he follows me back home and I put him up to live in my 5th wheel.
You know just like Harry and The Hendersons

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I would shoot it,not cause I wan't to kill it,but to just prove it realy dose exsist(or did).As for the neighbor,he aparently lost his mind.;)

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I don't think I'd shoot it...cause then you'd have to drag it!! or would you quarter it? Cape it? Hmmm....

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Don't bother shooting em boys. I have killed one and they are the foulest smelling critter I ever stewed. And secondly, boy do you ever feel inadequate when you see the size of that 3rd leg

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

LOL!
Was that really Andre The Giant as Bigfoot in the 6 million dollar man?

I'm pretty dure I'd drop one too. I think I'd be crapping my pants though if I ever did see one.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

ill second what syrus said

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I'd only shoot one iffen it were purddy, than I could mount it.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Youd be a millionare if ya did shoot one.
Think of how much you could sell it to science for. highest bidder wins.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

all i'm going to say is that if your hunting with me don't dress up like big foot.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

No brainer. I'd let him walk.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you ever see a tag for one? Besides his shoes wouldn't fit me anyway.:D

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Depends on how big he is. I might let him walk and wait for a bigger.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

To shoot would be unethical!! So I would have Mr Bigfoot cozy up, get some pictures and get on the Jerry Springer show!!
Now hows that for ethics

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I thought of shooting one several different times over the past few years, maybe I might even shoot it soon, not really to sure if I will or not, but I''m not marring one again. ;) Bobby

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I would drop em. Just to get the back straps![:'(]

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

While you trying to catch one I'll be laughing all the way to the bank:D

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I don't think I could shoot it even if I wanted. Bigfoot Fever is twice as bad as buck fever.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I would shoot it,then I would have enough money to hunt everyday if I so desired.It would give scienetist the proof that they do exist and they could autopsy and see what they eat which might help in the capture of a live specieman.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Drop it like it's hot.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

i would shoot it, but only to injure it enough that it will still be able to live, then like someone said highest bidder wins.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

How would you know where you could shoot it and not kill it? What if you wounded it and it got mean?:D

Boy,cabin fever has really set in!

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

lmfao, yeah I dont know what I would be more scared of... a 8' tall, 750# human like "thing" with the strength of 10 men, or the hunter who could wound one bad enough for capture and then load it up in his truck and haul it back to town to show everyone?

Unethical? How could it be unethical to kill something that isnt even proven to exist? If by some chance you were hunting on a remote island in the Pacific and just by chance a giant TRex came by and you put him down with your custom 460 Wby Mag, would that be unethical? I for one would be ELATED.

As for spending all that money, I doubt anyone would see single DIME. Between the laws for killing "non season species" and the various flower sniffers who got "preservation of bigfoot" laws passed. I think you would get off quicker killing a crazy neighbor in a ape suit.

Hmmm, I supposed I would put the crosshairs of my Warbird right atop its heart!!!

Where da fek would your taxidermist get a form for it? Last I checked the supply houses didnt have "humanoid forms" of any kind!

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Nah. If he left me alone I'd leave him alone. If it was my neighbor I'd kick his a$$ just on principal though.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

If it would score P&Y I would have to take it!:D

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I heard Mitch Rompola killed one a few years ago but refused to show it to anybody.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

Naw. I wouldn't shoot the Tooth Fairy either.

RE: If you saw a bigfoot/sasquatch would you shoot it?
 

I've always wanted a bigfoot to hang on the wall :D
