Aliens, ghosts, Loch Ness, Bigfoot. If they are actually around, there would be indisputable proof by now. Don't ya think!

This is a really silly statement. What we know one is greatly different than what we even knew in the nineties, as far as science goes. There are new discoveries every day. We do not now all there is to know.

There are mountains of evidence of " Bigfoot". Unfortunately, it is all instantly deemed a hoax, regardless of whether or not anyone can actually prove that it is a hoax.
 
Actually, they have a list of all the wildlife that is covered by the "no open season" regulation and sasquatch isn't on the list, so fair game



The BC hunting regulations (and I'm sure most province/state) regulations state something like "There is no open season for any wildlife other than what is stated in the regulations"

In the regulations there is no eagles, whales, owls, rattlesnakes etc listed, so they are not legal to hunt. No Samsquantch either.

The BC Hunting synopsis (Not the law, the Wildlife Act is, I know....) states, under OPEN SEASONS:

There is NO OPEN SEASON FOR ANY WILDLIFE-except as indicated within this Synopsis.

Samsquantch isn't listed in the Synopsis that I can see. :)

The possibility of Bigfoot exsisting, is getting less and less every day, with man's encroachment on their territory.
And not even so much as a picture or any evidence of DNA.
f:P:2:Why am I even discussing this?:)
 
You sound like the bad guy in a Disney movie...

Are there any jurisdictions in Canada where it's specifically illegal to shoot a bigfoot ? I just watched Les Strouds two part series and he claims to have had unusual encounters in northern Quebec , northern Ontario , Alberta , British Colombia , Alaska and maybe the Yukon . I see it as no different than shooting coyotes to sell their hides or any trapper and the first person to clock a bigfoot would be an instant millionaire . Doesn't matter to me if they walk on two legs or what they look like , for a million apiece i'd clock the whole family .

cause deep down you really don't know for sure if they exist or not!;) Don't for get there is a lot of space out there where no man has gone before!
 
Get Gatehouse to talk . A very highly experienced hunter and outdoorsman and well respected in the community .

By the way , say you smoked one in British Colombia and got a $25,000.00 fine . Big deal , it's like buying a permit because you're going to make millions by greasing the first verified bigfoot . Same if you got a quarter million dollar fine for whacking a family of them from a helicopter . Chump change . The National Enquirer would give you 5 million for the story and the bodies . So you nail one , you get a propane powered deep freeze and hide it , maybe out in the bush camouflaged . Take some pictures and chop a hand off and send the pics and hand to the National Enquirer .
 
You know what they say about guys with big feet... They probably only call it bigfoot, because bigd!ck isn't as marketable, at least to the family friendly crowd. I read an interesting bit, that said that the whole Yeti story is because of a mistranslated Nepali word, a century ago : Meti. It means bear.

You've watched too many gangster movies.

Exactly what I said earlier.

Bigfoot or not, if it ain't in the regs you can't shoot it.

Ya but do they have kung fu skills? :p


Ninja bear with Kung Fu skills? Just like the voice over is replicating a Chinese "accent" for a Ninja Bear...

China and Japan are two different countries with vastly different cultures, right?

oh well, Asian is Asian I guess.


Now... I am off to Craven SK. I'm going to get loaded while listening to Country music so I can bag me a Big Foot... or get an STD from a Cougar. Which ever one comes first.
 
Back in the late 90's a large group of us were camped at gaspard lake, central gang ranch area. Our group was bare up of family and friends, all rather serious hunters and bushmen. I was in my late teens at the time.

On our first night camp was visited by at least one bear. That was an interesting experience...some of us were in tents, some in campers and one sleeping on a mat under the stars. I awoke to the bear sniffing and disturbing my tent. I nervously warned the camp and being young I was told it was my imagination, untill someone opens their door to see what the commotion was about, I remember hearing "holey ####". In the morning we saw the bear sunbathing by the shore maybe 200yards from camp.

Later that night the ranch ran a heard through the valley. Around 2am we all woke up to thrashing in the woods, we were listening to the grizzly taken a cow down about 300 yards north west from camp, we studied her and her 2-3 year old cub feeding for a couple days.
Anyways with all this going on our sleeping arrangements stayed the same until late one evening not long after dark we heard the most blood curdling scream from across the lake. The best I could describe it would be to imagine a man being gutted alive. The dogs that layed no attention to the bears or any other wildlife throughout he years went nuts and I mean bat #### crazy.

No one slept in tents that night or the remaining trip and I'm not kidding. We took to the seats of the trucks.
My old man and I took the boat over in the morning to scout the area, we were actually concerned we may have heard one of the cowboys being killed or something, somehow. Couldn't find anything interesting.

That got the talk going, what did we hear, none of us had heard or heard of any animals making sounds like that.

I'm not insinuating we may have had contact, merely the one and only time we/I actually wondered, is it possible.

So anyways, anyone have any idea what we heard?
