Interesting but think someone would have dropped one with their 300 Win mag by now. The Patterson - Gimlin video is questioned by many since 67.

People that question the video haven't seen how clear modern computer images have cleared up any legitimate questions. In today's world, it's difficult to throw out the video as fake. Times change evidence becomes more clear. Even with today's modern abilities it would still be difficult or impossible to fake.

The problem with shooting one, you likely would be shooting a human in costume. Especially when near popular areas as they seem to be seen along roadsides or walking around someone's yard.
Speaking of Oregon, if they were an animal, they need to be listed as one illegal to kill in the law but, they're not listed anywhere. So, it's open season without bag limits.
I believe Wa state passed a law against killing them many years ago. So far no one been charged with that crime.
But then again, we all have the right to defend ourselves if being attacked by man or breast.

The man who wore the suit in the Patterson film is still alive. Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson shot the film in northern California. Bob Gimlin lives across the road from me.
He is close to 90 years old now.
Bob Heironomous lives couple of houses down the road from me. He is 83 now. He claims to be the man in the ape suit.
Dosent match with some news out there a while back, but some newspeople...

This "bigfoot" chat reminds me of a movie "Be kind, rewind". There was a song in it where the singer (Fats Waller) was talking about a gal... "There were four of us... me, your big feet and you"

I've got to call BS on this one also. Did someone claim to be the Bigfoot? Yes. However, he was never able to offer any co-oberation (sp) or provide a my evidence, like where's the costume? For him to have any credibility there has to be some evidence. He was blown off long ago.

Could it be?
What if?
Is it possible?
Oh wait a minute that's Oak Island
Actually there are hundreds of pictures of Bigfoot, he's just not very photogenic and doesn't take a good picture
Another important clue to solving a 200 yr. old mystery??

Knights Templar? From a date before they were formed??

I have no proof either way, so I say "could be". I can't verify the photos, tracks, sightings, etc are fake or real. I have heard and seen some unusual things out in the wilds, most eventually explained logically.
Do you believe in God, Allah, others? Can you prove His existence to an unbeliever?

Sometime about 10-12 years ago, the guy who planted all the fake footprints came clean and confessed. And he was hysterically amused about all the people who believed all the bigfoot stories, because he "planted" most of them.

Gosh, that guy must have been RICH! Beyond Elon Musk and everybody else. "Bigfoot" prints have been seen in North America, Europe, Asia, Pacific Islands. That guys a world traveller! (And no one noticed)
And, that guy is definitely older than Jack Benny! The oldest pictures of Bigfoot prints that I have seen published were taken in the 1950's (Yeti prints to be specific). Newspaper reports are older (regardless of their veracity).
Some unknown guy with a vague story/claim, in itself, has all the earmarks of an urban legend.
