You get my first "+1" for the day. You won't NEED TO KILL SOMETHING when you get to the root of UNDERSTANDING the creature in the first place. The rest will fall into place.

Nature is one such puzzle that unfolds it truths in relation to the parts, however minute, so the reality is that something we consider as trivial, might actually be the very reason for the presence of a specie in an area. An example of this might be a very specialized feeding opportunity, like when frogs migrate in the fall into area lakes, if you know when such an event is happening and where you can almost guarantee that large game fish will be waiting in that area for a bonanza of feeding. Countless examples like this occur, some we know of and others not so much, bug hatches, blooms, seeds and nuts, fruits and berries, migration of other animals that bring large concentrations of food to a small area, as in the Platte River in spring. Areas of unique biological diversity, like swamps and bogs and of course rain forest. I know that I am restating much of what has been said by others and myself, but I think we can put more of this puzzle together by discussing all these things. To solve the enigma of Bigfoot we will need to know exactly what brings them to an area and why they leave, the timing of the resources they are exploiting, and the specialization they employ. Nothing short of that knowledge will bring us any closer to understanding the creature scientifically, even if we can put one on a slab, it would still remain a mystery. I guess this is where I am coming from, I want to see the average researcher do his home work, and to not just wing it. If we could push the science by gaining a truer understanding of what these creatures are doing, it would certainly lead to greater discoveries. I am really not worried about the skeptics, they will be silenced by a body or DNA soon enough, but we will be left with the same mystery, of what the hell is this creature, pardon my French.
