      IMO they don't want to scare away any potential visitors. It could mean losing a lot of money if visitors were scared away by the rumors of some "dangerous creature" lurking about in the woods so to speak. Probably don't want groups of armed people hunting for it either.

      Yes, Forest Service biologist must know bigfoots exist, but they most likely want to keep the topic away from the public due to the disaster the Spotted Owl caused. In 1975 the spotted Owl controversy put Oregon's timber harvest under the microscope. In 1986 the Forest Limited timber harvest in the National Forest where old growth timber existed which is where the spotted owl nested . In 1990 the spotted owl became an Endangered species under the Endangered Species Act which drastically reduce logging in Washington, Oregon and California.   The Forest Service manages 191,000,000 acres of land stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean including Alaska and bigfoots occupy forest lands in practically every state according to BFRO reports. Presently the Forest Service headquarters is in Washington DC, and they most likely employ a team of top wildlife biologist.  These national wildlife biologist rule over 154 National Forest wildlife biologist throughout the states and do they all agree bigfoot is nonexistent or mythical? What are your thoughts? Can bigfoot and timber harvesting, road building and, mining coexist?

      Key word: Army..   The Army has been deeply involved in the west since 1850, and in the capacity of a military occupier in native American lands. This is well before the current crop and power of biology and ecological land management agencies. In fact, it's before the mere concept of ecological management of lands. Part of there native American heritage is the existence of sasquatches, and the Native American belief that these were wild people, not "animals". The Army still has military lands, some of which are in areas which feature very active and recurring sasquatch sightings reports. The Army has a culture of secrecy and managing sensitive information.  The Army has its own biologists tasked with cooperating with state agencies regarding wildlife and setting the Army's own goals managing wildlife on Army lands.   I again focus on Ft. Lewis, WA. If there is any government lands where active sasquatch study has occurred, it's there. They may very well have obtained a carcass or bones at some point within the past century. What they would do with it after their own examination is anybody's guess.

      Which for me? If true? Means the Government knows they exist. And they have covered it up by making the subject taboo. Anyone who rocks the boat draws the full ire of the bureaucracy.   And if there is an army of Biologists, Botanists, etc (USFS, USPS, BLM) out there? What sort of evidence has been collected that is better than us amateurs?

      The Forest Service does have an army of biologist, but the problem is they never can get into big formation and march like an army to prove Bigfoot. I spent quite a bit of time in the Forest Service. I knew our biologist who was just one person, and he had to manage wildlife for 1,700,000 acres of the Rogue River National Forest. There are 154 National Forest across America and each one of them has a wildlife biologist . Their job was to make sure the wildlife would not be harmed by logging operations. However, their job was not to manage bigfoots since they had not been proven and they knew it was a taboo subject. This person would probably be fired If they began to write reports on Bigfoot. These wildlife biologists knew that Bigfoot is off limits therefore they had better not be writing them up in investigations. The Forest Service is composed of 154 national forest and each one of those forests had one wildlife biologist. This army of wildlife biologists probably noticed Bigfoot evidence on occasion, but they also knew that they had better not be reporting on this phenomena.
