I don't think that's the reason at all . People are out large game hunting whether it's whitetail , elk , grizzly , moose ,what ever and it's not their first thought to shoot one if they see one. Some claimed as they viewed it's face through a rifle scope it looked sort of human. I grant you if they are being chased and threatened some have fired wild shots at them according to some stories but for the most part when you're out hunting if you see one your first thought isn't to blow it's head apart and I think most hunters think the same way . Now on the flip side if you are actively hunting one to kill it that's another story . If I was doing this I wouldn't be alone and I would have the proper gear and weapons where fear of being ripped apart isn't really high on my list . 5 guys with the proper night vision gear and AR10's , the only thing running scared would be the bigfoot's if that was my sole goal. But I'm not pro kill

https://corporate.findlaw.com/litigation-disputes/the-endangered-species-act.html "ESA §9 makes it unlawful for anyone to "take" a listed animal, and this includes significantly modifying its habitat. This applies to private parties and private land; a landowner is not allowed to harm an endangered animal or its habitat on his property." "ESA §9 prohibits everyone, private person and federal agency alike, from "taking" endangered wildlife. The regulations extend this to threatened animals (see e.g. , 50 C.F.R. §§17.31, 17.21). "Take" includes "harming" a listed species, and "harm" is defined by FWS regulation to include habitat alteration: Harm in the definition of "take" in the Act means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such act may include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impacting essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering" The key words here are "LISTED ANIMAL". My posts above are in regard to Sasquatch as a listed animal and the economic fallout if Sasquatch ever became one. The potential financial damage is why people work to make sure Bigfoot NEVER becomes a listed animal- Homo or not. Because if it ever did then even private timber/mining land revenues would be is serious jeopardy. I know because I research these kinds things to make sure my arguments have solid footing. I don't just blast this kind of stuff off the top of me head just to have something to say or to make trouble. So the question becomes an ethical/economic one: If a timberland owner has Sasquatches living in their timber do they tell someone? Or shoot them so that no one knows? Or strike up a small controlled wildfire to drive them out? How much electronic surveillance would a landowner utilize to make sure the creatures aren't around? Are there images and videos that we'll never know about?

When some of you guys say they hunt and kill deer or elk easily I just don't know how you come to that conclusion unless they hunt bedded deer . Then I can see it . Every film I have watched of them they don't display lighting speed , maybe they are ambush predators jumping out of trees ? I don't know 😎

If Sasquatch IS a species residing in the genus Homo? Then the question becomes why is it so much different than every other known species in the genus Homo? We cannot have our cake and eat it as well. Either it’s a archaic human species that is evolving into something different? Or it never was a human species in the first place. Humans = tools. If Sasquatch has no want or need for tools? That’s a red flag. Maybe Sasquatch uses tools but hides the fact very well? Or maybe it is a descendant of Gigantopethicus, and has never used tools.....

No. I thought most who have been here a while had heard the circumstances. I sat down my pack on the stump, got my compass out to walk a bearing to an interesting stump on the ridge above. The bearing took me out into a clearcut, and over a bunch of slash piles. I lost sight of the stump on the ridge and looked back now and then at a large blow down root ball behind the stump in the picture, trying to hold my bearing. When the going got too hard and I was worried about breaking a leg scrambling over the slash piles, I turned around and headed back towards the stump I had put my pack on. When I returned to that stump, the glyph in the picture had been placed on it. Basically I was never out of sight of that stump and only had my back turned on it for about a half hour during which time the glyph was placed on the stump. Had I looked back at the right time, I could have seen the BF that did it. There were no humans around and if they had been, they would have no idea I was a BF researcher interested in glyphs. But the local BF knew me very well by that time having had me pester them for several years by that time.

Here's some interesting activity on one of the BF trails that I use often, this trail block took a little effort to build.....the green lines are the trail, and the red arrows are pointing to an oak log brought in from nearby, and woven in to the structure, none of it was touching the ground, pics from both sides....it was pretty cool........and a marker on a side-trail nearby pointing towards it.
