So imagine that you are out deer hunting in the remote woods and while you are sitting in your stand/on the ground you hear some branches break, Thinking it might be a deer you turn to look at it but are surprised to see sasquach/big foot/skunk ape/chewbaca/the abomidable snow man (you get the point) looking back at you from about 20 yards.

He doesnt move towards you or threaten you in any way, just stands there looking at you.

Would you take the shot?

You can vote for multiple choices, i want to see how many people are practical jokers.
 
Probably shoot, but only because I'm in the middle of a divorce from her daughter... ;)
 
hahahah thats a good enough reason for me.

I am a firm believer that he/she/it/they are out there somewhere but I dont know if I could shoot him. On one hand, it would finally settle the debate. But on the other, he looks very humanoid and I dont know if I could shoot something so similar to a person.
 
Bull****, I would, to show the world I got proof, and then they cant complain about it being a hoax.
 
Let's see, would I shoot a rare and effectively mythical creature just so I could have a trophy or proof? No. That goes against basic ethics. It's not for sport, it's not for food, and it's not for defense. "Science" would have to learn about it some other way.

Now, that said, if it attacked me I would certainly defend myself. That's a no-brainer.

This is The High Road. You certainly wouldn't have a game tag for it, and you don't shoot a rare and likely endangered creature just to stoke your ego. Hunting is not about shooting everything that moves. That is poaching. If you just have to shoot something to stoke your ego, there's legal ways to do it with valid game species.
 
Lol, ok gorilla suit, how do you explain how he was walking? History channel tried the movements on a human and it wasn't possible and you can clearly see real muscle movements.

One of the guys who took the tape admitted it was a hoax on his death bed. That tape's credibility is shot.
 
HMMMMM bigfoot v.s hippie hmmmmm bigfoot v.s 12 GAUGE sounds more like it screw who says no i would shoot him and get him stuffed hey i wonder how much it costs to get a hippy stuffed now days? lol
 
I looked all over and couldn't find a recipe for it. Sooooo, nope I wouldn't shoot it. If I can't eat it, I sure as heck ain't gutting or dragging it.
 
It looks to me like some person walking through the woods with a gorilla suit or full camo (with a pillow in his pants to make his rear look bigger).
 
The true question is what .223 bullet should I use?

Seriously though, I would not shoot for fear it was just some hippie redneck frolicking nekkid in the woods. They do that up in the hills, I've been told.
 
I wouldn't shoot.

Figments of your imagination are extremely unreliable bullet stoppers and I'd be mildly concerned about what was on the other side of the hallucination.
 
YES ! think of all the gun show's that would pay you to come and show off the mount. The endorsment's alone may pay for my ammo habit!
(anyone at federal premium ammo listening?)
 
:cool:

Well, haven't come across Bigfoot yet so I can't comment.

I do, however, have the head of that unicorn I bagged a couple of years ago hanging on the wall of my den.

Before you get all uptight about that particular fact, please take into consideration that the damn thing came out of nowhere and attempted to gore me while I was out trying my awesome and brutal Muay Thai (Sooey Thai?) leg kicks on a wild boar I had been stalking.

What's a guy to do, I ask you?

Next thread topic up for discussion:

"If you caught Mickey Mouse in a Havahart trap, would you turn him loose or off him?"

Poll to follow.

Geez....



:cool:

A common fallacy, but not true at all. The "deathbed confession" was over the iconic Loch Ness photo.

Patterson swore to his death it was authentic, and the man who accompanied Patterson, Bob Gimlin, still maintains it was a living, breathing creature.

I'm skeptical but am willing to allow for a slight possibility.
 
Couldn't shoot. Be too worried it's just some fool dressed up to look like Bigfoot. And, you specifically said he's just looking at me.

If he moved to attack, I might shoot, but if it's a real animal.... I can't kill an endangered species. Wouldn't be right.
 
I'd also be concerned it was just a dummy in a suit. However, if he made any move towards me he would be seeing the business end of my rifle!
