Never seen one myself. Seen a bear walk on its hind legs for almost 100 yards. It was missing a front paw. Commob theme in the area i hunt. Seen 4 missing half to a entire paw. Shot one of them.
However if one did come across bigfoot and an attack occured and say for giggles that bigfoot was shot and killed. How much do you think its body would be worth? And where or who would you sell it too? Smithsonian ir private collector? Bigfoot isnt a game animal or a listed fur bearer. Its not on the endangered list. In self defense it would be legal to kill an animal in self defense. Personally id offer it a coke and a cigar and crown it the hide and seek world champion

Collectively, how many dead deer, bears, etc etc do Hunters across Canada find in a year though? Probably hundreds if not thousands, each and every year.
If there is no season for it, then shooting it would be illegal wouldn't it? You could make the self defense argument, but that wouldn't mean you get to keep it, it would more than likely be confiscated, ending up as property of the Government?
That said, Science needs hard evidence to consider it a real thing. Without a body, it'll always just be a myth. As one of the old-timer Bigfoot researchers said like 50 years ago, "The guy who shoots the first one deserves a medal. The guy who shoots the second one deserves to go to jail" (or something like that)
Another thing to consider is population. For terrestrial vertebrates the minimum viable population is often estimated at ~500-1000 animals. Less than 500 animals and the species is very likely to go extinct due to environmental changes, natural disasters, inbreeding, genetic drift, etc.
Take those population considerations and then consider how vast of a territory the Sasquatch is believed to cover, and you can see that there would need to be thousands of Sasquatch in the wild to maintain populations in BC, Alberta, Ontario, basically all of the states that border Canada...
There are less than 250 Florida Panthers left in the wild (some estimates are half that number). Yet, 23 Florida panthers got hit by cars last year alone.

Its possible they exist, but IMO not probable.
They have been reported across Canada and the USA.
They are generally only reported in single sightings - no one sees two or three at once.
They have been reported since at least 1811 - so for 200 years.
They would have to reproduce. BUT no one ever sees a family unit, a mother with twins etc.
They never get hit by cars, and no one ever finds corpse, a skeleton, nothing, and no pictures on the millions of game cameras across 2 nations...
They would die out fairly quickly IMO given the rarity of the alleged animal.
Some would die from drownins, lightning strikes, avalanches, fires, floods, killed by a pack of wolves, etc
but never found....
Highly unlikely they are out there. But possible.

okay im not hunting bigfoot, im going back to an area i hunted for years before strang thing happened.who knows what it was but something scared the chit out of those guys that they hunt a copletley different wmu .. i shot a lot of deer and moose there. if something comes across me, i dont know what il do.but im not trigger happy and looking for it il just be on my guard.two years ago i bought a semi auto non restricted sporting rifle in 308 that i got which i replaced with a 338 argo. damn thing is so heavy for my old bones that i will be using my old bb 356 winnie.if i come across a good bear this weekend its toast walking on all fours or twos.otherwise im there to enjoy the walk ..i have an oldtimer who is fit to join me just in case,i dont think if a bigfoot crossed my path i would shoot just because one never knows,could be an idiot in gorrilla suit. heard of a guy acting like a deer through the bush on his pals and got shot...where im going is pretty remote ,never came across anyone or there tracks up there before but theres a heavy game trail there .come to think of it never seen animals near where i had that encounter with flying logs just one large game trail going round the top of the cliff.when you look down there is a lake that gives you a great view for miles and i always spotted game by the lake from the top. it exists or doesent who knows as long its not some guys big hairy girlfriend or a scene from deliverence as i know there are mountain people that keep to themselves there ...

If they do exist I suspect over the last century thier numbers severely dwindled over loss of habitat.
Look how much natural resources it takes to keep a mountain gorilla alive. The caloric intake before North American winter has to be huge. (If they are real)

That piggy-looking eye says bear to me.
I've experienced the same breaking of trees and it sounding like they were being thrown twice. Both times in the exact same spot a year apart. Not far from Creston. I worked as a Forester for quite a few years and I can't explain what happened there. I've hunted Elk and Bear and moose.... I just can't explain what happened there twice but it scared the life out of me. Whatever it was really hated my presence there. Sounded like 10 inch thick dry pin trees being snapped in half and thrown.
Out here in the middle of nowhere, one of my buddies tells me he saw something shaggy on two legs booking it across a cut block last year. He tells me that he asked one of the local natives about it and he was told it was one of the 'old people'. For the record, this man is someone I trust with my life and isn't prone to exaggeration on things like this.30km up a logging road around Cranbrook BC, 2 am in the morning, game camera mounted over 6 feet high.
Don't know the guy, just a pic of an eye from my buddy who was sent it from a guy he worked with. Some say it was a porcupine? Who knows? My buddy said after this picture from his game cam he refused to go back to the area.
Had an ex BC Game Warden tell me he saw one only once in his lifetime around Crawford Bay BC in a clearing, and a coworker while camping in SW Alberta Waterton Lakes, in the mountains, her group heard strange noises and had big rocks thrown at their tents at 3 am.
Me, never seen a thing after 30 years in the woods, who knows, but none of these three are liars or attention getters, in fact the Game Warden guy refused to discuss any further and said he didn't tell anyone for years....
Lastly, my mother in law who lived in the mountains east of Creston BC, heard her goats going crazy in the barn during a full moon in fall, looked outside and saw something brown turn and walk away from the barn on two legs.
Seriously I sh_t you not on these stories from four different individuals, so take it for what you want, just sharing stories I have heard over the last 40 years.
My assumption is they're a lost and uncontacted tribe of natives wearing furs. There's quit a few stories out here including places I've been told never to go.

Everyone has a cell phone and theres hundreds of thousands of trail cams out in the bush. I once had a guy tell me he'd seen a cougar. 100% it was a cougar.
So I asked a few questions.
"Did it have a long tail?"
"Well, it wasnt clear"
"What did it look like?"
"Well, I didnt actually see it"
"So what happened?"
"Well, I was paddling down the creek and I heard a noise I'd never heard before from the bush. And the dog got nervous. He never gets nervours. Therefor it MUST have been a cougar"
You see how this happens?
