You were right. I misread the dart portion. Yes, a biopsy dart would be a great tool to have. Agreed.

Maybe of interest. From A Close Encounter With A Juvy SASQUATCH, To "Someone Took Possession Of My Son" in 24 Hours! (youtube.com)

I have taken numerous elk from 30 yards to 400 yards, numerous deer at 30 yards to 600 yards and several bears from 30 yards to 300 yards with my 7mm magnum, most with one shot one kill. I believe my gun could put a sasquatch down quickly with one shot, though I would continue to shoot until I was out of lead. A bullet that can blow through an elk at 200 yards will pierce a sasquatch heart at 100 yards.

Mine would be 3 center mass . I have a brakes on my AR10's . It sucks for anyone next to me but very little muzzle rise and really controllable squeezing the trigger rapidly and staying on target . Only reason I say center mass it's the largest target with vitals

It’s bipedal. So my first mag would go into the pelvic region.

agree I sure as hell wouldn't want a bigfoot charging me that's why if it's close I'm going semi auto and mag dumping

.338 win mag?

As long as they're running away, let them run. They'll die.

So return contact with 225 grains @ 2850 fps isn't approved?

Easy to get aluminum crossbow bolts. https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/1019838584?pid=227156&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Archery+-+Arrows%2C+Bolts+and+Components&utm_content=227156&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0GvErb_T6LZmwArmxiqHkD_IygCBfNJts_U_LkdcroN-Aow6pRdlfhoC3qYQAvD_BwE

Crossbows are there. Just leave the tip insert out so it’s just aluminum tube. Sharpen the edge. And drill a hole through a small foam ball and glue it 2 inches back from the end of the shaft. That will limit penetration. It’s essentially a biopsy dart.

I'm not all taking it as argumentative . I'm like you and can't see my self killing one unless my life or someone else life is in danger from one . I actually think trying to hunt one is kind of nuts anyways . I don't see my self getting the drop on one but If my goal was to hunt one it would be from the campsite where possibly one might get curious enough to come and take a look at it from a far . Pick the right camp site where there is some field of view and install a thermal scope on my Barrett on a tripod . I think one hit center mass it's not going far .

I like that idea a lot and would like to see it modified somehow where you could install inside a high power air rifle where you could get 75 or even 100 yard range that's accurate and effective . That's about the minimum distance I would want to be daring a Bigfoot

I think a guy could make one with a crossbow and a aluminum arrow and maybe a foam ball.

With a biopsy dart? You’re not touching the animal. You shoot it. The dart falls out. When it’s safe? You go retrieve it from the ground. People need to do only what they are comfortable with. Hunting dangerous game is dangerous as you know. If I see one? I am shooting. After that? I will spend the rest of my life protecting the species. But we must get the species recognized to science. Thats what is important. My fear with a biopsy dart is it getting hung up in a tree or a branch. We really don’t get a lot of long clear views in the Pac NW. Or something will go wrong with the DNA sample. And science will take type specimens anyhow after you prove the species real as a layman with a biopsy dart….

Interesting perennial topic, probably many reasons why they do these things. I always find it interesting when I come across breaks in the spring and summer when there haven't been any storms. Here is a very long old thread which had many contributors:

Which is what it would most likely end up being....but, I am definitely down for it.

It would go down....EVENTUALLY.... As I mentioned, the most likely COD would be bleeding out. Unless a solid Central Nervous System hit turned the OFF switch immediately, there is going to be some very tense moments involved in trying to take one. Just saying...but I have seen humans take multiple Central mass hits from a 7.62 and stay in the fight long enough to kill, maim, and injure, until they bled out. Just betting the odds, I am saying that a clean RIGHT NOW drop would be highly unlikely. When I am traveling, I have a Glock 20 in 10mm, and a my beloved FAL in 7.62, and very probably my Remington 1100 Tactical. I feel like the 7.62 is marginal at best, but the 25 round mags, do provide a very efficient ballistic payload, a long with sustained fire capability with efficient mag changes if necessary. But this is all conjecture and supposition based on comparitive lethality between known big game animals and predators juxtaposed with an extremely large bipedal hominem that could weigh in as much as 800-1000lbs. Yes, darting one would be great in theory, but it still brings us back to getting it out or getting blood, hair, saliva, etc, properly documented before its pals decided to take umbrage with the fact that their buddy is down, and a group of hairless, tool using apes, are messing with it. I'm really not trying to be argumentative, but I look at the whole thing from all sides, and ask..."What's the worst that can happen" and plan for that.

Dude if they are real they will go down with center mass hits with any of those calibers . There's no guarantee on any dangerous game the animal will go down immediately being Bigfoot or grizzly Grizzlies have had their hearts exploded by a bullet and still ran 100 yards . I would feel more than comfortable with a AR10 .308 as a rifle as my primary rifle if a bigfoot hunt was the objective . I'm a no kill guy though and have posted that several times . I like the idea of darting one though if you could get close enough

I would BE very pro kill, had I not been eye to eye with one at a distance of slightly less than ten yards on November 13th, 1993. I am not convinced that a creature of that size, muscle density, presumed strength, and more importantly capability of rage at being injured would be stopped immediately, even by a large caliber bullet unless the shot was delivered directly to the central nervous system. Additionally, the possibility of one or more other creatures attacking makes the tactical situation even more unsure. I would absolutely use lethal force in defense of myself and others, but I don't want to be the one to necessarily "start the war". Still, there IS that part of me that believes that if given the right circumstances I might just take that shot...but I AM conflicted, so I keep 9 of my 10 toes in the "no kill" camp. Still, I am dubious that with the density of the creature's body, most hunting rounds even the 7mm Mag, 300 Win Mag, or 338 Win Mag would have the necessary penetration to assure an immediate CNS stop. Yes, you could get into exotics but within the realm of common rounds and platforms, the deck is stacked against you. I believe, based upon decades of training, experience, and several on-duty lethal Force encounters, that exsanguination, rather than immediate trauma will be the most likely scenario in which the creature would be killed, and that in the interim, it would do a LOT of damage to the shooter. I agree with Krantz that killing one WILL be the best way to prove it's existence to the so-called scientific community, I am just extremely doubtful of the practicality of it being successfully completed. This is why my thinking has shifted into the collection of multiple pieces of physical and digital evidence within the context of a single study trip. I would be happy to share a couple of files. I have a similar find on my property in northern Arizona where I found two tracks, and a torn up elk carcass with snapped off legs, and a shredded hide. It was NOT a mountain lion or bear kill.

I am very much pro kill. I feel that most of Bigfoot researchers fail because they simply do not understand the demand science places on discovery of new species. That’s why they invest all of their time and effort in to dental resin and audio recorders. Which the end result is all their evidence ending up in the dustbin of cryptid curiosity and not biological discoveries. Certainly time is something very few have. Most of us only commit to weekend forays because of other commitments. A month long study has a higher chance of success. But only if the end goal is physical evidence. Now finding a dead one is great. But what are the chances of that? We have discussed and debated DNA from a trackway or other trace evidence. And I am all for having as many fishing lines in the water as possible. But most people do not have the money or the connections to have a library of samples tested from a month long study. Which leaves us with shooting one. As unpopular as this is with many? It’s cheap. It’s reliable. It’s readily available. And by looking at the number of sightings over the past 20 years? It’s the most under utilized. It’s also absolutely going to produce results. And it doesn’t even require a whole body. One foot or one hand would be sufficient to prove the species real. If this rolls the stomach or is seen as too big of a risk? The only other offensive option would be an air gun with a biopsy dart. You shoot the animal and retrieve the dart. The flesh core is stored safely inside. While not a whole foot representing thousands of DNA samples? It should be sufficient to at least pass the torch off to real scientists. And then they can decide how to proceed into the future. You mentioned North Idaho. That’s my backyard. I did find an elk femur broken and the marrow extracted close to north Idaho and would gladly share the location with you. In private if you prefer?
