I don't think you would get it out of the woods any way.
It's kin will carry it away. Dead or Alive.
And perhaps you too.

While I am a Bigfoot buff, I can understand why many don't believe. I do believe there is something to it.
Many people always ask the same question, Why hasn't anyone shot one?
Its like this. Most people don't believe anyway. When a skeptic sees one while hunting, they won't shoot for fear it is a man in a suit. After the creature is gone they sometimes realize it couldn't have been a person. Whether it's size, speed or something else about it convinces an otherwise skeptic, that maybe it is real. Many skeptics become believers after an experience.
Even believers refuse to shoot when they see a Bigfoot, for fear that it just might be a guy in a suit playing a prank. No one wants to take a chance like that for fear of murdering someone.
While many sightings occur while the witness has a weapon, some just don't shoot because they feel they are undergunned. They report that the animal is huge. Others are so stunned at what they are seeing, that they just forget they have a gun or camera.
There are so many reliable witnesse that it is hard to just dismiss it. Many upstanding people make the claim to have seen one. Sheriff deputys, clergy men, nurses, military personel, sunday school teachers, police officers, park rangers, just good people that have no reason to lie.
Lots of people joke and laugh about it but very few of them ever read anything other than National Enquire garbage about it.
Spend some time here and you may find yourself not such a skeptic. just look at how mant sightings have been reported.

i've always thought they are out there...its just a matter of time that someone gets one on a trail cam.
i'm sure some of the sightings have been people wearing gille suits...but alot of them do seem real.

The "sightings" are hit and miss.
I read several stories that I have no doubts of.
Others too far off. I say something "mis-identified" or perhaps an "illusion"
As far as the "scientific" info on his site...
I say is also hit and miss. Too many references to the gorilla.
The "Watcher" is different and more "clanish".
And they do have a "regular" resting place although I think theyare somewhat migratory.
My Opinion.

You guys are funny! I'm not discounting that sixth-sense thingthat warns of us danger we can't see, hearor smell. I've felt it, so I believe it.But Big Foot? That's an over-active imagination that kicks in when we can't explain what our sixth-sense was telling us or we catch just a glimpse of some woodland critter. Like a bear, maybe?And I'm guessing that if some hairy critter is walking aroundin the woods with no blaze during rifle season, he's gonna eventuallyget shot. Heck, there's enough idiots out there who can'ttell the difference a between a cow and deer.Otherwise, some great stories on thisthread.

If you are to shoot a Watcher itmust be at night and from a long way away. And only then after great patience.
You will not recover the corpse though, so why try.
They do indeed "watch" us. Have forever.
They know that a human and the "boomstick" make bad things happen.
Just like we know a rattlesnake is best avoided and a black widow the same. It has been passed to us through communication.
Our anscestors hunted them to near extinction just as we did the Cave Bear and American Lion as well as most all species.
I have read old scandinavian legends that state a war between themselves and smaller darker complected peoplealong side"hairy giants" aided with wolves.I am unsure of where this took place but the Vikings were good sailers and great battlers...according to the legend they were driven back...maybe they made up the "hairy giants" to make the defeat sound better but I dont think so...the Vikings respected battle, it was their way to Valhalla(spelling?) They surely would respect the warriors who defeated them and would look forward to seeing them in their "heaven" Noneed to exagurate defeatfor reasonof beliefs...

I was coyote hunting by myself one morning, laying in a strip of fescue where a farmer usually stores his bales. I was calling and only looking in one direction b/c I knew there a den in the tree that I was paying attention. All of a sudden I here something hit the bean stubble right behind me. I turned safety off and swung around in a split second, thinking a coyote had snuck up on me. Turns out, that a hawk had heard the rabbit squeal and swooped down to within about 10 feet of my head! Scared the crap out of me.

Oh I guess sitting on the ground before light in northern Wisconsin with a bow and hearing Wolves howl very close to me. Next day it was a pack of coyotes.
