Why do people try to shoot what they think is "bigfoot"?

Question

If hunters, researchers, and scientists are so interested in finding and studying bigfoot, why would you try to kill it? Wouldn't they want to study it's behavior, sounds, etc? this is one of the reasons why its hard for me to believe it, because this, and many other things about this creature is illogical, and i have an open mind

Answer 1

Some people are just trigger happy, unfortunately, and would be happy to go around killing people if it were legal. Other people might find that if they kill a bigfoot, they can turn the body in for a ton of money, so it's an offer a lot of people can't resist. I don't agree with it, personally. I believe the species does exist, and the would be shooter could be facing criminal charges if they did decide to kill it. Depending on it's relation to us, the charges could be as high as murder, and at the very least, animal cruelty.

Answer 2

a people are probably scared when the see it and want to defend themselves

b it would finally prove its exsistance i mean a body would be the best evidence of a bigfoot. and then science would recognize it as a creature and biologists would then try to study it in its natural environment.

and sure some people recognize it as real but science does not and besides they are trying to prove its existance and study it at the same time  

Answer 3

I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about. I have 3 of them stuffed and mounted on my wall as we speak. But if you need further proof of their existence just check out the links below.

If you need more proof than that I think you are very CLOSED MINDED!

Answer 4

I've heard people taking pictures of bigfoot, (if there is any), by camera, but never shooting with a rifle, gun etc.. Where do you ignorant kids get your "Bunk" information from anyway?

Answer 5

I would say becuase "bigfoot" is so hard to find and there isn't really any video that has convinced me that he exists.

If a hunter brought in a body of "bigfoot" then there would be no doubt that "bigfoot" is a real creature.

Answer 6

Well for starters you're forgetting that Bigfoot is daaarn tasty and can really spice up a nice Loch Ness Monster strew when served with a roast of Chupacabbra.

Lets think about this for a moment.  You're out in the woods, it's dark, you're alone.  Suddenly a nine foot tall hairy sucker with glowing red eyes strides out of the darkness towards you and you have a camera on one hip and a magnum capable of setting an elephant on his dead butt at 50 yards on the other.  Your call sport.  

There mere fact that we DON"T have a couple dozen Bigfoot pelts for sale every year at roadside bazzars and you-tube IS overflowing with Bigfoot tapes and pictures should tell you that it doesn't exist.  People would blow them away right and left, I have to say under the circumstances outlined above I'd be shooting till the barrel melted.

Ta children, your Poobah has spoken!
