They seemed to have demonstrated considerable cognitive ability. Do you really think that if "caught" in an earthen pit it wouldn't think to dig holes in the walls as foot holds? Chimps, gorillas, dolphin, etc. have considerable cognitive abilities too. Yet, we have captured them all. The idea that a Bigfoot might try to climb out of a pit trap is why I mentioned Kevlar walls. I thought about inclined walls as well, that just seems to add a lot more design difficulty and likelihood for a cave-in, before it even gets built. Admittedly, the catch and release idea is very complicated, probably very expensive to do it right (as indicated by the thoughtful comments above) and, the odds for success are very limited. That was just a thought. Maye there is, or could be designed, a tranq rifle with a revolver type action allowing for a dose selection, appropriate to the perceived mass of the subject? Of course there will be concerns about that too; just hoping that we can come up with a way to provide Science with the type specimen they require without killing one.
