Why is this thread alive still?
LMFAO!!
I would not shoot it. I would try to get to know it well enough, to invite it back to my house to meet the one I married! Maybe they will hit it off, and they could run off together and give me even more time to go hunting!
Oh My God Blindman! Now that is hilarious!

I'd check the cellars of any Irish neighbours you have.
Chances are they thought they hit the jackpot!
Early in this thread I said it, but guess I will have to point it out again.
There is no such thing as a sasquatch!
Never was.
Go any where in any bush you want to, you will not see a sasquatch.
They do not exist.
Get a book, such as The Mamals of BC, by Ian McTaggart Cowan, and look at every specie and sub-specie of mamal in the province.
Material, widely used by humans, that disapeared from a truck, in the night, is really not very good evidence that a sasquatch took it!
Sorry Gate, as I remember you disagreed with my first posting, where I stated that our entire province; forests, mountains and boondocks were crawling with people, mostly men who were prospectors, trappers, etc, for 100 years, starting about 1850, and no one saw a sasquatch.
The stories from the past that could be interpretted for something similar, relate to such things as great hunters who died and came back as grizzly bears. Ravens are the rulers of the land, and know everything.
But nobody saw a sasquatch.

i proly wouldnt shoot it i would track it down and take a long time thinking about telling authorities, you know for the$$$$$$. plus i think a live one would be better for science, but if i felt threated i would drop him quicker that a hot potato. if he spoted me and wasnt territorial and nice iwould try to learn from him
Maybe Humpty Dumpty was jelouse of youre potatoes? secretly followed you home and stole them in the cover of night
There's a web site dedicated to the sasquatch, with most "true" stories from Alberta and BC. They tell of various stories, including one, where some guy was carried off in a sleeping bag, for a long distance. Was let out of the bag by the kidnapper and introduced to his furry female mate....but eventually escaped.
I'd run like hell if I was introduced to some big, hairy, NAKED female in that way
Apparently they have enough sense to carry things off, not just feed on the spot like you're typical wild animal.
Far as shooting anything like it, I wouldn't, unless I had a tag and last I heard, they are protected weather they exist or not.

What neighbors?

What animal is strong enough to carry off 3x100 sacks of spuds intact?
Bears are certainly strong enough.
But would they carry them off intact and leave zero trace of the potatoes? More likely they would make a big mess.
I sure hope there is a logical explanation. I *really* hope they bounced out of my truck and I didnt' notice, and am wrong about seeing them in the back when I got home..but how can 3oo lbs bounce out with the tailgate shut?
Believe me, I don't WANT to believe in Sasquatch. People that believe in Sasquatch and UFO's all go a little nuts...
I hope you are correct, but I know what a grizzly, a black bear, a wolverine, a moose and an elk look like.
Anybody know where the word "Sasquatch" came from?

Found it
Before 1958
Bigfoot descends, more or less, from wildmen stories of the indigenous population of the Pacific Northwest. Its origins are difficult to discern as the legends existed prior to a single name for the creature.[11] The legends differed in their details both regionally and between families in the same community. Similar stories of wildmen are found on every continent except Antarctica.[11] Ecologist Robert Michael Pyle argues that most cultures have human-like giants in their folk history: "We have this need for some larger-than-life creature."[12]
Most members of the Lummi would be able to tell a tale about Ts'emekwes, the local version of Bigfoot. The stories were similar to each other in terms of the general descriptions of Ts'emekwes, but details about the creature's diet and activities differed between the stories of different families.[13]
Some regional versions contained more nefarious creatures. The stiyaha or kwi-kwiyai were a nocturnal race that children were told not to say the names of lest the monsters hear and come to carry off a person—sometimes to be killed.[14] In 1847, Paul Kane reported stories by the native people about skoocooms: a race of cannibalistic wild men living on the peak of Mount St. Helens.[6]
Less menacing versions such as the one recorded by Reverend Elkanah Walker exist. In 1840, Walker, a Protestant missionary, recorded stories of giants among the Native Americans living in Spokane, Washington. The Indians claimed that these giants lived on and around the peaks of nearby mountains and stole salmon from the fishermen's nets.[15]
Not all of these creatures were viewed as animals. The skoocooms appear to have been regarded as supernatural, rather than natural.[6]
The local legends were combined together by J. W. Burns in a series of Canadian newspaper articles in the 1920s. Each language had its own name for the local version.[16] Many names meant something along the lines of "wild man" or "hairy man" although other names described common actions it was said to perform (e.g. eating clams).[17] Burns coined the term Sasquatch, which is from the Halkomelem sésquac meaning "wild man", and used it in his articles to describe a hypothetical single type of creature reflected in these various stories.[6][17][18] Burns's articles popularized both the legend and its new name, making it well known in western Canada before it gained popularity in the United States.[19]

You know, the "Little People" or Leprechauns (as they like to be called.)
That is, if you can catch one...
If you happened to be out hunting with your favourite big game rifle, and you suddenly found yourself with a clear, unobstructed shot at a Sasquatch….would you shoot it?
All this talk in the other thread has got me curious.
If he looked like that outside of my truck?
If he looked like that outside of my truck?
Yea, I'd shoot the SOB if he looked like that, after running it over.
Still prefer my sasquatch shaved and clean...
I may be cannibalistic, but Ive eaten beaver, and sheared is the best...

I never read through the entire thread,.. but with the imposed question,.. what if he/she is carrying a case of Kokanee?
Id be very friendly to anyone with a 24 of beer, but personal hygiene or bad breath would deter any friendship... Ha Ha..
