I think you guys would have RZ areas in logging operations down there.   https://www.wfpa.org/aquatic-habitat/riparian-buffer-zones/

Sasquatches probably looked at native Americans more favorably since they had a low impact on their environment and the creatures were probably not afraid once they became used to living around the native Americans. This cohesiveness probably varied from tribe to tribe and more hostile tribes may have been averse to enjoying the company of bigfoots. The same applies in reverse with family groups of bigfoots who did not trust humans so it's difficult to know the relationship between the two groups. The relationship between modern humans and bigfoots today is probably far worse than when native Americans were dominate. Modern humans today have built the Forest Service that doesn't even recognize bigfoot probably due to admitting there is a bigfoot would amount to territory protection and vast reductions in logging if environmental groups demand extreme Sasquatch land protection.

My beliefs, like everybody else's,  are subject to change as evidence and theories sway them. No worries about differences! I don't take offense.     Well, frankly, it seems to me that the lives of sasquatches are more humane the less they interact with us. My Dad actually got me started on this consideration when I was still a teen by advocating that they should be left alone. Indeed, the same is true of Homo sapiens tribes and ethnicities living in remote areas who don't want to have anything to do with the rest of us. As an Alaskan, living in a huge state with a tiny population, I understand the desire to live apart from the world of man as much as possible and comfortable. That's why I'm here.   And if folks who rarely to never visit wild areas accept sasquatches as only mythical, but still enjoy movies like Harry and the Hendersons as comedy and Jack Link commercials as entertaining, aren't their lives enriched regarding wilderness wildlife?     But haven't we already done all that?     That seems a bit intrusive to me. Sasquatches appear to prefer solitude, and they appear quite capable of achieving it without our help.     This is a very valid concern. Government secrecy about sasquatchery lends little to no confidence that the species is not going extinct. I guess I'm willing to trust them rather than open it up to all of humanity, which looks to me to be the kiss of death for the species.

Very well written reply and thanks. I hope my reply is not contrary to your beliefs.    If federal government and mainly the Forest Service took an active role to discover Sasquatch and to protect its precise habitat then possibly bigfoot's lives could be more humane and our lives would be richer with forest filled with wildlife. The problem is to locate Sasquatch's nesting area as Albert Ostman accomplished by accident. We have grown into a huge and powerful country, and it seems humane to study and to make room for animals that get caught in the wheels of progress. We are smart enough to grow our economy and protect animal's habitats at the same time. The greatness of a country can be determined by how well it takes care of its people, and the welfare of animals yet manage logging, hunting and mining so nature's animals can live in managed numbers too. So how do we take care and protect bigfoot? We first need to use the evidence we already have to prove its existence then we need to hire a small army of biologist and Eagle Scouts to roam, camp in the woods, and secretly find bigfoot's nesting sites so we can keep tourist, hunters and loggers at a reasonable distance away from the nesting sites. It's a tall order to fill and possibly our effort may enable bigfoot to live a better life and may prevent the possible extinction of bigfoot.    

It's an interesting thought exercise to consider how the sasquatch species was affected by the arrival of non-indigenous people. First, native Americans lived in groups and villages that were mostly nomadic, and their weapons were close ranged. When Europeans arrived, the Homo sapiens population numbers exploded within a very short period, they established towns and cities that remain and some of which have grown into metropolises, and we now have the capability of shooting them from a quarter mile away.    Sasquatches have shared this continent with native Americans for at least 12,000 years, but the past 200 years have changed everything.   Indeed, we can even categorize the past 200 years:   1825-1925: Occasional contact with European explorers, trappers, and prospectors 1925-1955: Increasing contact, and the beginning of mass media exposure of the species to humanity 1955-today: An explosion of sasquatchery in the Homo sapiens consciousness, beginning with contact from people penetrating the Six Rivers National Forest timber sales and the modern media
