True but I will take my chances. Those images from the BFRO have been all over the internet. I have copied copies of copies and posted here without the owner messaging me with infringement warnings or cease and desist notices. If he does I would certainly conform to his demands.

Just because you say it is a bear doesn't make it so.

If the bear don’t fit you must acquit…

And I would have to agree with you to a certain extent. On one hand I think they have been doing fine without our help for hundreds of years. But I also think that with "discovery" comes, as you say, public concern and funding that would enable preservation and deep study. I'm sure that if physical proof came to be, there would be hunters out trying to score a Squatch (imagine the taxidermist bill). But for the most part, I think the species would be better off.

I disagree profoundly. At the very least sasquatches would react to game cams just like all other large mammals, and that would span the spectrum. I've got moose pics of them at bear bait sites (itself an example of extreme curiosity) with their noses at the lens. Bears regularly inspect my cams. Squirrels do it. Birds do it. I've got cam pics of people holding travel cups up to the lower part if their face to disguise their identity while examining my cam. On the other hand, I've got cam pics at my bait sites of every species of local fauna you can imagine (including a wolverine) just doing their thing ignoring the camera. Agreed. There it is. This explains other all other aspects of the phenomenon, too.

Bigfoot and other anomalous animals are caught on game cameras. And they get the same reception as any other Bigfoot photos or videos. Ridicule. We were just recently arguing over the Jacobs photo. Here a couple off the top of my head. If Bigfoot is something more than an animal? And is very aware of its surroundings? It could elude people and their toys fairly easily, but not always, no one is perfect. Also if they are exceedingly rare? There may not be any Bigfoot to take a picture of. But sometimes something strange is detected and discounted.
