If it wasn't attacking me, I don't know if I would or not.

Probably not unless I felt an attack was imminent.  Mikey.

Probably not unless in self defense. I'm not even convinced such a creature really exists and if they do they are in short supply I'd think. I would like to see one to know it was real but have no real interest in taking the life of one to prove it to the rest of the world.

Only if it was showing very aggresive  behavior I dont understand why anyone would want to kill a rare/almost extinct animal unless it was selfdefense situation. :roll:

Do not most game laws books state something like: Any animals NOT defined are considered "protected"?  :wink:

Well ,it depends on how big it is,how many bullets I have and are there others around that might get me after the kill.I 1st believe you would be prosecuted ,then later youd be a very rich person if ya played the cards right.

I think there are areas or counties of Washington state that have laws on the books against killing the yetibeast. Something like $10,000. But the bazillions you'd make by killing one would easily offset the fines. (think of the endorsements from Nosler that you'd get...grin)

But nobody has killed the oversized manchimp yet, sooo, dream on

Personaly, could I kill one?? Haha, I'll cross that bridge when I get there  :roll:

Yep, pure and simple. In fact given the perfect shot, it would be from one of my home swaged bullets, that I make myself. That would be a 300 gr. flat nose jacket bullet, fired from my Marlin Lever Action 444 rifle.

but it would be pretty much like those people that get killed every year during deer season for not wearing their hunters orange. Sad but it is true.

well I reckon that would be like pointing a toy gun at a policeman.do stupid things and you might get yer self hurt.

any way what would ya want to kill one for..ain't no recipes to be found any where for them.have to start from scratch.might not need salt as it would ruin it.then bourbon barB q sauce might make the meat poison to us civil folk.get it alive and torturing it would get you a wealth of info.like where doc Noss's gold really is.

Shoot one? You're kidding me, right?
« Reply #19 on: March 21, 2006, 07:04:11 PM »
First of all, it will know when you are about to pull the trigger, and it will vaporize before you get the shot off.  Unfortunately, he may unvaporize directly behind you and squash your head like a grape.  Then it will hide your body, after removing your liver of course.  Your body will never be found, in one piece.  Some have been found but were completely dismembered.  And your gun will be turned into a pretzel.  Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

I ususally hunt by myself on my own property. If I am out in the woods how am I going to haul an enormous animal from the woods to my house?

Its just enough work having to drag a deer from the woods to where I can get to it with my truck.

No, I wouldn't shoot a bigfoot. Whats the point? I have nobody to impress.

If BF exsists in this world in any capacity (time travel, shape shifter, smoke and mirrors, bacon strealer or dude in an ape suit) it can be killed.... end of story.

Would I take a shot at one.... not unless I thought I was in danger.  And if they do exsist I suspect a wounded one would likely be as dangerous as anything short of a gun toting human being.....
