Finally found the blogspot I was looking for. Remember Robert Lindsay? Yeah, I won't dwell on him too much but he did actually pull together a pretty great list of historical BF reports of BF being shot, shot at or killed by some other method. The sources are decent: Track Record, John Green, BFRO etc. If anyone ever says 'well how come no one has ever shot one', this is a pretty good response. Lindsay is/was a controversial character for sure, but there is 61 pages of shooting reports here. I've read many of them previously but putting them together like this is a solid piece of work. Fascinating. https://beyondhighbrow.com/2014/07/12/bigfoot-news-july-12-2014/

Ok, but what happened to the native Americans was sanctioned and encouraged by our government, who did pretty much what ever they could to eradicate the indigenous populations from handing out "blankets" knowing full well the NAs had no resistance to European disease to the wholesale massacre of the plains buffalo which they knew the Lakota were dependent on for the food that carried them through winter. But I suppose I could consider the establishment of the national and state parks as a stage of creating a different approach to reservations in which to contain the indigenous, and then they were"discovered "by the American public, who, thanks to ambiguous phrasings(made so to obscure their real purpose) just assumed the reservations really are public parks set aside for public access and use, which made sealing them off for The Containment nearly impossible without disclosure, thereby defeating their purpose from the get go. I I can see it "For a number of decades they seemed able to serve the dual purpose, but as our numbers grew, along with our use of land, these reservations(aka the Parks system) came to represent the last remaining "wild lands" open to public use as well the only place the government could hide the sasquatch. So all they really needed to do is go park by park outlining why each one is no longer safe for the public, so they can be shut down and fenced off with no further questions to answer. This explains the role David Paulides has played, in the government efforts to scare the public out of these public lands( "I'm not saying it's aliens..but.." ) with his nine books that might as well be titled "Oh, so THAT'S why we should never go to a national/state park again" But how will they exclude all the other homeless if it comes out that it was the government's crafty bureaucratic trick of redefinition of "feral" to cover this system of protected sasquatch reservations without requiring disclosure? I "Ya see, you got yer homeless, then you got your hairy homeless" or will a distinction be put forth outlining the difference(s) between homeless and feral people(though feral really does imply a previous domestication, and well, who really wants a furry maid? Ok, sorry, it's a domestication/domestics joke/tie in to that earlier reply) But even then it's gonna come out just who got the luxury forest homes eventually , which will force disclosure, placing the ferals back into the very position of risk the government was trying to avoid/prevent in the first place. The only hope for those responsible is for the government to then divest itself from the whole "parks" system except in a supervisory role, which, of course, means privatization, and in order to not look like a copy of the nation's prison system and to allow the new billionaire owners to make a modest sum to "cover operating costs" these reservations will be converted to a zoo-like status with tram-rides and gift shops, maybe a "none-too-exploitative" movie franchise...all with the quaint rationalization that since sasquatch never went to zoos in the past, "how would they even know?" But this can't work, because the captive always knows, and feral or not, human zoos went outta style in the late 1800s ....
