It already does happen. https://www.cnn.com/2012/08/28/us/montana-big-foot-accident/index.html As far as hunters shooting each other? That happens as well. But I would (and do) take my chances in the woods than on the streets. Roughly 100 hunters die each year hunting out of 1000 accidents in the U.S. and Canada. Versus almost 20,000 dead by firearms who were murdered in U.S. cities. Putting a bounty on a mythological creature in our wilderness areas isn't going to budge the needle one bit. The gang bangers driving Camaros and shooting up the 711? Will NEVER strap on boots and go into the mountains. And the hunters that would go look? Are already out there and fall into the first numbers presented. 100 deaths per year out of 1000 accidents. And this isn’t an ivory billed woodpecker we are looking for. This is something that could rip your arms off and beat you to death with them. And that’s if you avoid the Bears, the Cougars and the Wolves! Greed doesn’t seem to be a motivator these days. There is still lots of gold in the mountains. How many kids are choosing prospecting as a career? Or even a hobby? Not many….. And curiosity? Yah I mean they will hop on a Yellowstone bus and go get gored by a buffalo. While drinking lattes and posting pics on instagram. They are not going to buy a rifle and a backpack and go tackle the wilderness by themselves. They wouldn’t even know how to sight in the scope for their rifle. They would probably stick to bird watching at best.🤷‍♂️

If there's a bunch of Bigfoots building all these structures in that area does he have tracks shown in any of his videos ? I remember one time watching him and he found one structure that was obviously made by people because there was paracord holding some of it together . Not joking he even showed it on his video and he said NO human would use a knot like that . His videos had finally reached absurdity . That was the day I stopped watching his videos .

I took this picture just for you today. About 10 trees all hung up. This is not my property. This is Colville NF near where I had my bone find above Ione Wa. But don't worry I could have taken 100 more pics of the same thing. So I will keep sending you pics until you are absolutely sick and tired of looking at evergreen tree jams…. Aka tree structures. I even had to pull three outta the road. The full trip is in the field trip thread.👍

pics or it didn't happen.

so after posting hundreds of youtube videos on here yourself, you didn't take the time to check it out? got it. I doubt you could show a single "tree structure" as interesting at what this guy's videos show.

I'm not a hunter. I'm looking at this Bigfoot hunt idea from a standpoint of: 1) People's curiosity 2) People's Greed! Curiosity: From a curiosity standpoint, Gimlin sums it up best when he states, "I just wanted to see it again" People wanting to see a bigfoot would be expected to increase once they knew for a fact Bigfot was really out there. I don't know how many would suddenly avoid the woods with the knowledge Bigfoot was really out there. There has to be some. I'll call the curiosity Bigfoot Tourism. There would be some uptick of the number of people out there trying to see a Bigfoot. I read this occurred in Arkansas when reports came out the Ivory Billed Woodpecker may have been spotted. There is no danger with bigfoot tourism expect for those who are armed and inexperienced or around those who are. Peoples Greed: This is where you would get veteran outdoorsmen as well as complete armatures. They would either want to shoot one physically or shoot one with a camera. We can talk about how today's generations of young people don't care about the outdoors as much or at least the hard work that goes with it. This may be true, but fame and money is a powerful motivator. If you follow the money, people's greed would be intense enough to create a danger out in those woods. Odds are these types are more likely to shoot a person than shot a bigfoot. Finally, we cannot discount the young person who- along with their friends- try to prank/ fool the Bigfoot hunters, only to get shot by accident. How much of this would happen? All I think we can say for sure is there would be more of it than what is happening now. Those incidents would go up. How much would be anyone's guess. -------------------------------------------- "State officials in western Pennsylvania are investigating the shooting of a man mistaken for a coyote by a fellow hunter. A Pennsylvania Game Commission spokesman told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the victim was shot in the shoulder Friday evening in South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, and taken to a local hospital.

I was raised in SW Michigan farming community. We had 500 acres with horses, cattle, and hogs. My youngest brother literally walked into a Bigfoot back in 1974 when he was 7 yrs old. At the time, he thought it was a homeless guy, and never even mentioned it to anyone. Over time he forgot the incident. When he saw the PGF the first time in the 90's he had a sudden flashback. When i was 13 or 14, around the time of his sighting, I would be about a 1000 yards away from the house cutting hay with a sickle mower. 20 acre field surrounded by woods. I never knew why at the time, but i always had a feeling of dread when in that field, especially near the edges of the woodline. My interest had always been strong in the subject.

Speaking as someone who has many avid hunters with kids in the family, I can tell you that while the kids love the taste of wild game and having selfies taken in hunting camp they HATE having to get up before sun-up to hunt, having to walk over a mile and sitting silently in one spot waiting, and no signal to chat with their pals. I may side with Norseman on this one....
