Why is the Forest Service and BLM so quiet about Bigfoot?

yes, and since the courts overrule the professional land managers who are just trying to do their jobs managing ecosystems, lock-up via court mandate is the most probable outcome.

According to some we have an impending environmental disaster due to burning fossil fuels, why would any ground be locked up over an elusive creature that can go anywhere? One that no one can seem to produce a single photo of or physical evidence. 
 

I suppose getting physical evidence of one of these things would be on the same level as finding a little green man. 
 

Maybe it would be even more incredible since we seem to have decent photos of the ships that little green men fly in.

Is that a serious question?     When decisions are made in courts by juries rather than being made by professional managers, a lot of really dumb things happen.   We've had any number of post-fire salvage timber sales here blocked by court decisions when the environmental groups sued USFS and timber companies in federal court.    Expecting anything rational once the courts are involved in emotional issues is pretty nuts once you've seen how things really happen. :(    It doesn't matter anymore what you can prove or disprove, when it gets to court, all that matters is feelings, not science.

I don’t think it’s possible to lock up a vast amount of natural resources putting the survival of a nation at risk. Even for BF.

 

Obviously courts are willing to give small victories to crazy people. Plus, many times these court cases don’t go further because it isn’t worth fighting. Someone has to pay for it. Either side has benefited from the cost calculation.

What private groups own these ecosystems? 

 

I've heard military type areas are often hairily populated.

Agreed! 
 

They seem to go hand in hand with lots of strange things
