      A broken bone is universally understood on an X-ray.   Until the DNA results for Bigfoot could be universally understood and agreed to, it almost seems like a useless tool.  Useful for paternity and so ion but surprisingly limited for Bigfoot study.

      There are some who view the government as all powerful involved in each and every conspiracy.   This thinking virtually demands somehow the “Forrest service” knows all about Bigfoot and is keeping it quiet.   Those who believe this may offer reasonable ideas such as lying to keep people from shooting each other.    Then there are the “ Jump the shark” ideas.   Use your imagination.        The truth is likely the forrest service just adopts the view of science itself.  That is, Bigfoot is just not proven to exist.  Such a viewpoint is not controversial and requires no special power or giant government conspiracy.     on top of that I really doubt the forrest service has an official position on many subjects.   The thunderbird, giant snakes, and so on.  They would just correctly reiterate the present general consensus of science.   where does one go to get an official position?   Is there a book of official positions in the congressional record or something?

      The U.S. Forest Service defines Bigfoot as a 'mythical creature' meaning it does not fit anywhere in the animal world but seems to fit with cartoon characters. Now some animals climb the ladder before they are classified as a real animal. For many creatures before this status was realized there were ten steps before an animal was considered real or a recognized species. One of the first steps to becoming a recognized species are sightings that are reported to those in charge of animal science. As sighting reports pile up more credibility is given to the animal, but it remains on lower steps of the ten steps required before the animal is granted species status.   Later footprints are cast which puts the creature on higher steps then a top trusted scientist observes the creature and its level is boosted higher on that path to discovery. Later hair, more scientist observe it, and then motion picture evidence is brought in and the creature reaches higher up on the ladder of discovery which is now more difficult due to artificial intelligence or AI. Does artificial intelligence which raised the bar on photographic evidence. Possibly some creatures have reached step 9, yet a body or living speciment has not been brought in so it stays on step 9. When we put bigfoot on this ladder, a huge percentage of scientist with higher degrees in zoology agree that bigfoot is on what step? What's your opinion? What step do most credited biologist place bigfoot? What step do you place bigfoot and why?
