Rockape Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Just make sure you shot it in Texas. Whether or not you shot it in Texas. Why do you keep saying it's better to shoot one in Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you keep saying it's better to shoot one in Texas? It's a legal can do in Texas. They got good game laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCBFr Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Find a buyer in Japan, that will pay a million bucks, and keep it a secret forever. Getting the money would be the challenge though, as well as finding a qualified buyer, and getting the body out of the country would not be easy, but I suppose the buyer can figure that out. Body parts have been spotted in the wild BTW, but you have to be at the right place, right time. Wouldn't have to go that far. Go to Vegas and visit the casinos. They'd pay a real fortune. Me? I'm a bit more mercenary. I don't hunt these things, and I don't even like these things. But I'd at least try to get a full body MRI scan, have the gut pile transferred onto tissue slides - hundreds and hundreds of them - and I'd have an auction. Highest bidder. And he can deal with it. I'll be in the Holiday Inn Express. To answer you question directly, I would take it back to where it died, take it out of my truck and respectfully place it where it died, take a few pics and some hair samples, do a few tree knocks so its family can tend to him/her, pray for my life, and get the heck out as fast as possible. However, that is not your real question. What you are really asking is how you can you maximize the monitization of a dead BF? Clearly you have given it a lot of thought because you have correctly concluded the real value is not in what a PT Barnum type would pay you for it as a prop, but the value in its DNA to the biomedical industry. Sure, Terry Benedict may pay you a cool million for a BF body as a way to lure suckers in to his casino. But you could probably get a billion if you could figure out from the DNA how a human can run a sub 4.0 40, bench 800, and have the vision to connect 33% of the time on a 95 MPH fast ball and 85 MPH major league big breaker in the dark. However, as you have alluded in the thread, none of this is happening in the open without the approval of "The authorities" as they can and will oppose you every step of the way. Honestly, it is a tall order. There are easier ways to make a buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks, yea, 1 million is to low, lets go for a cool 3 million, I don't want to get too greedy! Is there any state with a law against shooting a squatch? Washington state, maybe one other county somewhere just passed a law. Like 2 counties in Washington State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWWASAS Posted October 30, 2015 BFF Patron Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Skamania County WA has an ordinance that makes it a felony punishable by $10,000 fine or 1 year in jail for shooting a bigfoot. Whatcom County WA has declared itself a BF sanctuary and it is unlawful to shoot a bigfoot. No punishment is mentioned that I can find probably because that is covered by a state undiscovered species law. Cannot harass, shoot, etc fine of up to $100,000 or 10 years in prison or both. And if you do, the creature will be donated to a state college for study. http://www.dumblaws.com/law/1917 Edited October 30, 2015 by SWWASASQUATCHPROJECT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWWASAS Posted October 30, 2015 BFF Patron Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) California seems to have things covered too. Shoot a BF in California and you will find yourself in court. http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-it-is-illegal-to-kill-bigfoot-in.html Is that why Smeja wised up and could not find the BF he shot?

Honestly, it is a tall order. There are easier ways to make a buck. Ideally, you would take the time to make molds of every bone, enabling any anthropology department to purchase at a very reasonable cost their own duplicate skeleton for study. Also take molds after the skin has been removed to enable a duplicate of the body mass, and then any talented wax museum-type can duplicate the hair-on, enabling a skeleton, a muscular body, and a full hair on body, all side by side. There are people who will pay seven million for one of forty cars, five million for a tintype, and so on, and the auction market for a privately owned critter would be worth a fair amount at an auction. The gut pile would be worth a considerable amount as well, if the tissues are in the form of prepared tissue slides. Ideally, one would bag two, or even better, three. One for auction, one for the State of Texas, and one to be donated to the Great Britain Museum of Natural History. Unlike the Smithsonian, the find will be properly prepared and properly presented to the public. I'm pragmatic. It's just a fault of mine I really do nothing to improve on.

Guest Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Unless the body is preserved right away, there is going to be considerable problems, in other words, you have to have a refridgeration truck on hand minimal, and know how to deal with animal carcases for preservation, freezing would be stop-gap, and only good for a month or so. So, you still have to have a pile of money to make a pile of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarArcher Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 The trick is to preserve the body in ice - a layer of ice on the bottom of a container, put in the body, cover with water, and freeze. You don't get the drying effect that way like when you simply freeze something. Heavier to be sure, but It sure preserves tissue until someone wants to start the disassembly process.

SWWASAS Posted October 31, 2015 BFF Patron Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Lets see 9 foot tall bigfoot 4 feet wide at the shoulders and about 2 feet front to back equals a 9x4x4 waterproof box filled with ice to get a two foot deep layer of ice to cover the chest. Lets guess and use the 800 lb number for the weight of the BF, and assume it fills half the volume of the box. So the volume of the box is 144 cubic feet and half of that is 72 cubic feet. A cubic foot of ice weighs 57.2 lbs. That is 4118 lbs for 72 cubic feet of ice or 4918 lbs for the bigfoot and ice, not counting the weight of the box. That would put the cargo load for a truck at over two tons which is beyond the capability of the largest pickups. So you need some sort of 3 or 4 ton delivery truck to carry the thing around. And some sort of crane or hoist to get it in the box and in the truck too. You get my drift? Unless this is all thought out, someone is going to shoot a bigfoot then have a big spoiling hunk of ape man that they cannot even move away from the shooting location. If you go to get help it likely will not be there when you get back or there will be a welcoming committee there if all the stories have any truth. If you cut it up like an elk to carry it out, you will have some very ticked off scientists who expect a whole specimen to study. I do not think this can be done without lots of preparation, money, and several people involved. Nope way bigger project that most pro-kill people seem to want to admit it is. Most seem to want to equate it to nothing more complicated than an elk hunt. Edited October 31, 2015 by SWWASASQUATCHPROJECT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveedoe Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'd call Animal Planet and tell them I found Bigfoot. I might hire an attorney to represent me. Then put it out there then let the experts have at it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Dry ice would be a better way to freeze it, you would have to have alot of it, its not that easy to get in huge bulk loads though. I would not freeze it in water, it would take a week to get it all frozen total mess. Its still a total mess, makes me think of just going for the bones, a BF skeleton would still fetch a good sum, and you could do the hide, and try to preserve some of the meat. Its a big project for sure, needs half dozen people, that 3 million is going to get whittled down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
