The above post's "scenario" requires a lot of mental gymnastics to be considered "logical". A suspected poacher was caught shooting and killing something unknown to him....yet it was all by accident. Riiight.

Unless they took the bear and left behind the "steak" to be found. I'm not at all convinced that the "steak" is the result of a bear fight. And if it was, there should have been a ton of bear sign around feeding and fighting around the carcass. As well as plenty of pieces of carcass laying around. http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2012/12/tyler-huggins-and-bart-cutino-shares.html?m=1

Biscardi? Oh yah, he was there..... https://www.csicop.org/sb/show/the_ketchum_project_what_to_believe_about_bigfoot_dna_science Ketchum has been associated with several other individuals and projects throughout the years of Bigfoot DNA collection and analysis, including the following: the Olympic Project—a group of researchers studying habitat and attempting to obtain trailcam photos of Bigfoot11; Tom Biscardi of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., involved with the infamous 2008 Georgia “Bigfoot in a freezer” hoax, who collected DNA samples for her project7; Wally Hersom, a generous contributor to several Bigfoot research projects, who funded at least some of Ketchum’s work12; Adrian Erickson of Sasquatch – The Quest, who stated he has high quality pictures and video of the creatures13; and David Paulides of North American Bigfoot Survey, who is a Ketchum supporter. Paulides, an ex-police officer and author of books about missing persons and the “tribe” of Bigfoot14 has been particularly outspoken about Ketchum, placing the responsibility of the scientific study of Bigfoot DNA all on her, saying each of the samples used had its own specific story. Ketchum alone had all the data, he says,5 and deserves the praise. Nondisclosure agreements were signed among participants of the projects so that information would not be leaked prior to the reveal. But it was anyway. The sources of these samples supposedly included a toenail obtained by Biscardi from Larry Johnson,15 blood from a smashed PVC pipe, and flesh from the remains of a Bigfoot body (see sidebar, “Sierra Kills”).16 But it is not clear that all the samples were collected properly. They also may have been exposed to contamination or to degradation. They shot it in fall bear season of 2010 supposedly. And didnt go back for it until the next year? Presumably after the snow thaw out of the mountains?

"Biscardi, Standing, Dyer, and all the rest......" aren't even close to being in the same league as someone who can write and do this: (from here: http://www.sasquatchgenomeproject.org/linked/novel-north-american-hominins-final-pdf-download.pdf ) I also took the liberty of bolding and underlining an important segment of the text. "Prior to DNA analysis, all samples were screened to eliminate common wildlife species using a variety of methodologies including microscopic morphological examination and comparison against a large reference collection of known North American wildlife hair. Further, utilizing several morphological criteria, unusual characteristics were seen in hair texture, diameter ratios, medullary structures and cuticle patterns. The purported Sasquatch hairs also demonstrated elongated hair roots. Taken together, these morphologic differences indicate non-human hair that is also inconsistent with hair from known wildlife species. Over one hundred specimens survived this initial screen and were judged sufficiently different from human and wildlife samples to undergo DNA analysis. In order to minimize concerns about bias, degraded DNA, operator error, bad reagents or contamination influencing the data during this study, sample integrity and cleanliness were prioritized. As a preliminary screen for possible human contamination of samples during the collection or laboratory analysis phases, control samples obtained from submitters and working with the collection of field samples were run in parallel. In all cases, as demonstrated by clean sequences without false heteroplasmic bases denoting mixture or contamination and single source profiles with the PowerPlex® 16 amplification kit, no evidence was obtained that the DNA extracted from collectors or scientists or any other secondary source was present as a contaminant in any of the samples. In the next generation whole genome sequencing, the Q30 scores provided definitive proof that the genomes were derived from single source of DNA, not a mixture of human DNA contaminated with animal DNA since the Q30 scores vastly decrease if contamination is present. Furthermore, the Q30 scores also indicated that the genomes were well above average quality (Supplementary Data 7-10) further eliminating the possibility of contamination." And please let me know if Biscardi, Dyer, or Standing can put something like this together- I would like to be the first to know: http://www.sasquatchgenomeproject.org/linked/novel-north-american-hominins-final-pdf-download.pdf

Whoa. a) Justin claimed to have shot two bigfoot. Instead of dragging out the greatest discovery ever he chose to leave the bodies where they lay. b ) Upon having a change of heart many months later he returns to the scene and collects samples. Ruling out the Ketchum samples as goobly gook. The other samples tested where bear. What are the chances a random old bear decided to lay down and die at the exact spot Smeja shot his bigfeets? c) Smeja has been in trouble with the law over poaching bears and other wildlife. d) Was Smejas motivation to shoot a bear, let it decay for a year and then come back and claim it was a bigfoot? Hoping maybe the dna would have been contaminated enough to be inconclusive in a test? e) Regardless of his lie detector test results. We have absolutely NO proof that Smeja shot two bigfeets on the day in question. If he had cut off just a finger or a toe and kept it? Game over. This is the same tired old game of Ketchum, Biscardi, Standing, Dyer, and all the rest......promises, promises but not deliver the goods. And then excuses, excuses and finger pointing and name calling. Smoke and mirrors..... Wake up people! Remember.... you dont have to defend the creeps looking to cash in on this subject, to defend the subject itself.

Thanks for this, Sasfooty. It's obvious to many that the statements of these Native American people are not mere suppositions or simple stories, but are based on actual, real experiences with the Bigfoot and their real, actual, and remarkable abilities. Here's a great interview with an actual Native American person who had an actual experience of a BF's actual and remarkable abilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MYRgCqc5-Y=37s

There is a reason "lie-detector" tests are not admissible in court... So yes, these tests are not considered to be reliable enough to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Justin Smeja is obviously a wildlife poacher who got his 15 seconds of fame for claiming he shot Bigfoot, when it would appear he shot a bear.....

My Montana canvas wall tent. I cook on my stove as well. Ill be spending a week in it at the end of the month for elk season

No matter what prowess a hunter has with other animals, I would feel bad not having warned about the dangers of hunting BF. Their sentient behavior, and ability to move quietly with great stealth, puts them more in the category of matching wits with a human special ops soldier than some bear. They are hunters, know what hunting behavior is and do not like it when they are the prey. It would be the one you don't see that gets you from behind. Night ops would be virtual insanity in my opinion.

Also if it's not dead but dying now and watching you as you approach it . Do you raise your rifle and send another bullet into it's body or just watch it die as it's looking at you . I know I just mentally played out a possible scenario but it could exactly play out this way in shooting one of these creatures having my self who's hunted for many years.
