Oh, to answer the question about shooting a Bigfoot, no I would not unless I had to defend myself. If anyone is worried that this guy actually shot a Bigfoot, don’t be, it never happened.

I can’t understand why this story is still being discussed. It has more holes in it than a screen door. Shot a Bigfoot, didn’t shoot a Bigfoot, Has bodies, doesn’t have bodies. Left them on the side of the road, left em in the woods someplace. Come on. My seven year old daughter could make up a better story than this one.

Interesting question.

On one hand it would be undeniable proof and allow for research and correct protection of the species.

On the other you killing a defenseless animal.

If I was in a situation where I was 100% sure it was bigfoot and I had no other way of capturing it (or gaining undeniable proof) I think I would have to take the shot.

By undeniably proving the existence of the animal you would be protecting the rest of the species, not only their habitat but also allowing laws against further killings.

A lot of the species discovered have been killed, tags then identified as a new species later.

Look at the coelacanth, one dead specimen has lead to a lot of research which has lead to the conservation of the whole species.

Stompy,

It’s a basic rule of gun safety to never shoot anything you can’t identify. But I suppose someone could identify a squatch as a Bigfoot if he knew what one was supposed to look like.

Of course, if it is attacking you, all bets are off. You still have the right to protect yourself and others.

The sad fact is, if Bigfoot is real, it will probably take a dead body to prove it.

Makes me sick that someone would shoot a sasquatch or even think about doing it when they were not threatened.
