      I am back to kick the hornet's nest. I was way off about the State animal procedure happening in the 90's. It was during  1970. I had to dig deep in the Catmandoo files to retrieve a few gems. I posted a comment about the date that the Skamania County Ordinance was reviewed. In 1984, April 1st was on a Sunday. Clever Commissioners had to wait until Monday, the 2nd. Besides the Skamania County Ordinance, I am aware of action in Whatcom County and Grays Harbor County. Whatcom and Grays Harbor County paperwork are aligned to a refuge-protection area, not an ESA zone. Washington's official proclamation to make Sasquatch the state monster is a good read. There is a link at the bottom of the Archives Spotlight page that will hook you up with 19 pages of proclamation notes, memos and some poems and lyrics. On page 7, they present information on the Sasquatch--Modoc Treaty.   Whatcom County: https://documents.whatcomcounty.us/WebLink/DocView.aspx?dbid=0&id=3276411&page=1&cr=1 Grays Harbor County, action in this century 2022: https://www.kxro.com/grays-harbor-designated-as-a-sasquatch-protection-and-refuge-area/ Washington State Monster with a good image of Patty: https://blogs.sos.wa.gov/fromourcorner/index.php/2018/01/history-friday-washingtons-official-state-monster/   The work in the previous century was humorous, serious and they avoided the ESA arena with safety zones / refuges. Those fifth grade students in Hoquiam will probably work the forest with disposable , one-time use cameras.

      I think body proportions are very important in studying films. The tracks I saw in the snow were not human. They could not have made by a human. Unless it was Robert Wadlow walking barefoot on a mountain in December? Many people just don’t understand. They imagine wooden feet tracks in 6 inches of snow. Nothing like that. The snow was deep.

      1) Exactly. This Skamania county law has no teeth. It’s a misdemeanor. And as MIB said….its a law about a mythical animal. Not an extinct one.   2) How is that any different than deer season? I don't think a county law about Bigfoot makes anyone safer in the woods. Hunters get shot every year in the woods and it’s just apart of the risk. Along with any hobby.    What the law really does is fly in the face of the scientific process in which we discover and classify extant species based on type specimens. 🤷‍♂️ Might as well pass laws on not shooting Pixies and Gnomes while they are at it….

      First off, Thanks Catmandoo.   That is what I like about the BFF.  Generally, if you have a Q or a thought there is usually a pretty good army of people with the info or the insight and are glad to share it.   That is interesting.   This Crime Pentalty thing is interesting.   Consider if someoen really did shoot a bigfoot to my mind they would be killing something of which there are likely not too many out there.   The fines or punishment might seem a bit small when we consider:       1)  VCR tapes days we where told "copy them could be stiff in fines or jail time".  This looks more severe as a crime than killing Bigfoot         2)  Having such a law with some punishment serves a purpose if for no other reason than to make sure hunters are not shooing each other.  Less fear of punishment might make someone take a shot a Bigfoot only to find out it is their buddy trying to hoax them.   The law might at least keep a few trigger-happy people from shooting at each other.          Thanks for the post.   Interesting.
