      Ok, how do we know they are extant?  I don't really get what Science requires I guess..  A pinky bone for one, a male and a female type specimen for the other?  That doesn't seem reasonable but, you will probably tell me that Science doesn't care what is reasonable, they just demand what they must have before they go out on a limb.  It's public opinion, their tenure, potential ridicule, problems at home, etc. that hold most of them back, in my opinion.  When our Government released the 'UFO files' did that prove the existence of extra-terrestrial space craft to Science?  Too many people just don't care about anything that they perceive as not directly affecting them, especially if it requires them to think.

      Nocturnal theory in avoidance of Homo Sapiens?   Another point…. Ostman said Sasquatch hands were “scooped”. So was Naledi! 👍

      It’s simply how scientific classification works. It’s your choice to participate or not. But regardless of who chooses to participate?   Science will require one male and one female type specimen. It’s required for every extant species on the planet. Extinct species get a pass. Denisovans were discovered with a DNA extraction of a pinky bone. Allegedly they are extinct….   So if anyone here is collecting DNA samples? Or any evidence of this species? Just understand where it’s headed!    I have my own theory as to why this hasn’t happened yet. I think the deep state is very happy with the arrangement currently of deny, obfuscation and ridicule. And so far science has fallen in line for the most part. And so we as a community are a bunch of delusional crackpots out in the forest looking for Pixies and Gnomes.🤷‍♂️

      Those are totally valid points/questions.  I think we can only speak for ourselves and, as for me: Success at looking for Bigfoot would be seeing one or more in a situation that provided undeniable confidence that I was seeing the creature(s) that have already been described thousands of times.  The sighting would need to be unambiguous and, it would be great if there was at least one other person present so that, if nothing else, we could talk about it.  (I had such an experience with a 'UFO' decades ago, but I was alone in my truck.  I have always been grateful for that experience because it broadened my horizons, even though I can't say if it was an Alien spacecraft, or not.  It was definitely an unidentifiable flying object, beyond the scope of anything that I can imagine to be man-made.)   For others, perhaps the majority of the BFF membership, success only means one thing: Scientific Acceptance and Classification.   I get that, but if a Bigfoot body on a slab is required and one cannot be obtained without deliberately killing one then, it would not be worth it, in my opinion.  And, if I see a Thylacine, I'm not going to shoot that either.  I would tell my story, just as I did with the UFO and as I would with Bigfoot then, whoever didn't believe me or, thought I was crazy, could take a long walk off a short bridge.    lol
