US Fish and Wildlife only administers USFW lands unless it has to do with smuggling or endangered species poaching, etc. I.e. Your smuggling African elephant ivory into the USA. It will be USFW that show up at your door. I called the Portland office a long time ago. I basically asked what was their role in administering wildlife and what is the process to discover a new species.   But the USFS does employee biologists for wildlife on US forest service lands. It also manages eco systems for wildlife. Which is something almost entirely outside the purview of say a state game warden.   ==============   https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/wfwarp   “The Chief expects line officers to develop wildlife and fish programs within the context of ecosystem management to a level of excellence that clearly demonstrates conservation leadership. The Chief expects wildlife and fisheries biologists, ecologists, and botanists to bring their special technical expertise to promote the sustainability of ecosystems. Everyone is expected to work closely with our customers and partners in accomplishing our objectives. The health, diversity, and productivity of National Forest System wildlife, fish, and plant communities -- and opportunities for their use and enjoyment -- will be the measures of our success.”   ==============   If Bigfoot is real? It’s a creature that requires an ecosystem to sustain itself. Undoubtably part of its ecosystem will fall inside lands that are owned and administered by the US Forest Service. And It’s the job of their biologists to promote the health, productivity and diversity of their species in their ecosystems.   So again? For our knowers here on the forum? Is this incompetence? Or is this something else? And then multiply this by the BLM, the States, the Park Service, USFW, etc, etc? Are they all incompetent? And then add in the Coast Guard, Army, USMC, USAF, Border Patrol, etc, etc.   They are not that incompetent that they have spent 40 trillion dollars in 250 years and never ever detected a 800 lbs primate IMHO. 🤷‍♂️    

Very well said, MIB.  Until Bigfoot are proven and accepted to exist, I don't think there are any Government job descriptions that indicate 'Find Bigfoot'.  I have worked for the Federal Government, State Government and County Government.  At no time did I get the impression that any of my fellow employees there had any significant determination to rock the boat.  That's wrong of course, but that's the way it is.

We have really smart and informed scientists who are dealing with and studying Sasquatches, UAPS, and NHIs. Basic information gathering is still a priority, and conclusions are yet to be developed.

Your detailed and accurate reply is much appreciated, and I'm sure that our members understand how our government operates when it comes to timber harvest and wildlife management. The US Fish and Wildlife Service probably deals with the same political issues when it comes to Sasquatch.
