You know.... I think maybe Art has just given us some possible insight into what Bigfoot actually is.

;) :D

I've actually shot a bigfoot, it was in western Montana a few years back. They're big, hairy and smell terrible

I think you shot a Hippy :neener:

I don't believe in bigfoot, and I think your crazy if you do, but if he was real, I'd love to line dance with him

Bigfoot (it's plural and singular) are much like the reclusive Minotaur in that they are all male, and they mate with human females.

I beg to differ, I awoke one morning in bed with a female bigfoot. At least I think it was female, I hope. To tell the truth I ran out so fast I didn't really check. OH MAN!:banghead:

I'll be back later, I have to go call my therapist.
 
"Hit it and forget it" in regards to the female big foot..... I think thats a line from a George Clinton and the Funkadelicks song :confused:
 
Personally i wouldnt shoot it . The only critters i shoot fall into 3 classes 1. game i am going to eat . 2. vermin such as prarie dogs , stray dogs among my cattle , the occasional jack rabbit which i feed to the farm dog , coyotes , ect.. and 3. predictors who want to harm me , most likely two legged and in citys , but i suppose a bear or puma could someday fit that bill . If a bigfoot exists and i ran across him just like a bear or puma who did not want to harm me i would marvel at nature , and try and get pics .
 
If I ever had a positive ID, I'd shoot. The way I figure it, the only way these things are real is if they've been burying their own dead AND anyone who finds them. That's the only way they could have avoided being on someone's wall this long--a well aimed rock to the head and a quick feast followed by burial of the bones in some deep holler. Another hunter gone missing. But the chances are exceedingly remote that they do exist. The only film evidence of any weight is the old Patterson film, and if that was real it may have been one of the very last ones. There a few interesting audio recordings from the 1970s, then nothing. All subsequent evidence ranges from goofy to laughable. So if they did exist in some tiny clans, they're likely gone now. Some say the last were killed when St. Helens blew.

That was YOU! You dirty rat! Auntie Earl is still in tears over the way you ran out without even so much as a goodbye!
 
Blow it's knee off , if it's real and starts growling you shoot the other knee and head off for some rope and lot's of friends to help tie it up and call the local zoo/conservation/Veterinarian/animal control to bring a trank gun and operate on the knees to keep it from dying .

It it's a human in a monkey suit he'll start hollering and cussing after the first knee and you call the cops and ambulance and tell them he tried to attack you in his suit and you feared for your life and fired at it .

What judge and jury will believe the fool in the monkey suit running around in the woods when he denies attacking you anyway ?

Good laugh... :) Sounds like she would have worked well at keeping you warm at night, though, Okiecruffler - you may have missed an opportunity there!

Hey, I left a 20 on the dresser, what more did she want?


On a serious note, has everyone seen the pics of the "bigfoot" corpse? If you're gonna try to pull a prank, you might at least try to make it look real.
 
the one i saw threw a big rock at me. that is all........

Never seen those. Happen to have a link to them on the web? I find hoax attempts oddly amusing.
 
I have seen bigfoot!

I have seen bigfoot... sort of, when I was 14 we were deer hunting in Eastern Oregon. We were up on a ridge scoping down in to a small valley/large gulch (I don't know what to call it), when we saw this big black object moving through the brush and undergrowth... first thought it was a bear, but it didn't look right. So we watched it for a while, it turned around... It was guy in a big black fur coat :what::what: Now this guy had to be either drunk or really short on brain power, to be out in a black fur coat during hunting season.

As to the OP's question. It depends, if I spotted it a distance and it was bothering me I would try to shoot it with a Canon Powershot Digital Camera ;)
But if it was after me and I couldn't get away from it easily, I would shoot it. I really don't think there is a bigfoot, but then again what do I know?

I don't think its ok to kill something just because. If it's a nuisance animal or causing damage thats ok, of course if you are going to eat it, then its fine. When do we eat? :D I'll bring the Diet Pepsi and the Rolls (wife makes great rolls)

Anyhow thats my .02

Science kills animals all the time just to study relatively unknown species (greenland sharks. etc.). Bigfoot, if it exists is as unknown as anything. And if science demands it, well then all just have to do my part.:D
 
you guys are forgetting that bigfeet hunt in packs like velociraptors. the one you see isn't the one that gets you. but you should shooting him anyway, as fast as you can, and then look to both sides.

here is some instructional material for calculating escape vectors for velociraptor attacks. http://www.mbeckler.org/velociraptors/velociraptors.html

you can modify the equations slightly for 500 lb bigfeet, but you'll need to know the BC. Dan Lilja lives in Oregon, and if anyone knows the Ballistic Coefficent of bigfoot, it would be Dan. Bogie, I suggest you email a request for info to him.
 
12ga. I'd shoot it the second I felt scared for my life. Which would be the instant I saw it!!!!
 
I personally wouldn't shoot one unless it was attacking me, but Ted Nugent would chase the thing down with a knife. And Chuck Norris would round-house kick its ass.
 
1. Shoot him and drag the corpse home
2. Call up all manner of high-muckety-much science types.
3. ?
4. Profit!

That's basically what those two guys from Georgia did.

Said they had a body. Showed it to the leading "bigfoot expert" and sold him a rubber monkey suit for a "undisclosed amount of money".
