With technology like it is nowadays, a crafty 10 y/o could produce a video with the teeth, growls, hi def hair, even sweat on the brow--so no, it wouldn't convince anyone who didn't already want to believe. The winning edge for the PGF is that it came from a time when nothing like that was available, and the more we try to focus it the more we are perplexed; sav for a few who seem to notice a zipper or keys err whatever they think they see....

If it is blurry, needs red circles etc. it's not worth showing. If it's clear and unambiguous, it will stand on it's own merits.

Hello southernyahoo, You bring up a great point. Hunters just by the act of hunting understand what it's like from both the aspects of hunting and the act of being hunted. It's the nature of the situation that brings this more into focus. Seeing reports from hunters one gets to look into the mind of one a bit, and where a Bigfoot sighting is made the thoughts concerning why they didn't pull the trigger vary but in many cases it is out of fear. Hunters know best what happens when an animal is only wounded- bad things can happen and they understand the potential of that better than most. Many things can occur in one's mind in a matter of a split second and no doubt a miss or a non-kill shot has to be in the forfront of their minds. Sasquatch is a big animal and the likelihood of a hunter doubting a definite kill, or even how to kill an animal that large, must be part if that instantaneous equation. If they get past the shock and fear that is. If they are hunting relatively alone this has to be even more of a concern about their OWN survival should a decision be made to shoot the animal. It doesn't seem to occur often although there are reports of people actually taking the shot. The "what if I miss" though I would think is one of the chief factors in NOT taking the shot, especially if one is alone. I wonder if most question whether what they are using for a weapon is adequate to do the job and I'll venture that many decide it's not just by experience. I would not want to be in that situation given the choice.
