In the new Animal Planet reality TV show optimistically titled "Finding Bigfoot," a team of experts examines video of an alleged Sasquatch spotted in the Canadian Rockies. The video, shot by a man named Todd Standing, shows something large and dark, standing atop a wooded ridge and then ducking back behind a bush. It could pretty much be anything, and when the experts concluded that the subject was probably not a Bigfoot, Standing expressed his frustration: "No video is ever going to be evidence, ever. It's never going to be good enough "
Standing, like many Bigfoot researchers, misses the problem: It's not so much that any Bigfoot video is inherently worthless, it's that his video, like all that have come before it, is of such poor quality that there's no way to know what we're seeing. It could have been anything a guy in a dark jacket (or gorilla costume), a bear or even Bigfoot. The fatal flaw in Bigfoot photos and videos is the image quality, not the image subject. If Standing, the "Finding Bigfoot" team, or anyone else shot well-lit, clear video of what was obviously a 12-foot-tall, hairy bipedal creature in the woods, that would be compelling.
But even the highest-quality photograph or video can't be considered definitive proof of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or any other mythical beast. Similarly, if the goal is to simply make scientists and the general public take Bigfoot seriously, then some verified remains of the creature be they hair, teeth, blood, bones or something else would do the trick.

“If You See a Bigfoot, Should You Shoot Him?”
Depends on how good a shot you are and what caliber rifle you are using.
I’d give him some fried chicken, show him a little *** and motion towards the leaves in the rain gutters.
What an opportunity for an NFL team to pick up the ideal middle linebacker. And just imagine blocking field goals and PATs with a 12 ft player on special teams. Or maybe full back when you really need a couple yards on 3rd or 4th down.
If you see a bigfoot, you shouldn’t shoot him. You should put your gun down and just sleep it off.
Nah. Play a trick on him so he’ll beat the absolute crap out of you.
Nothing like a good camping trip with some suds and look for Bigfoot~life simple pleasures!
Only if you want to harvest his lower horn.
LOL-you win.
"only if you find it at the MSNBC studio's"
Man, this area sure looks “Sasquatchey”
Thanks, kevao. Those are great!
Shot the left one. Ain’t shootin the right one.
Just shoot ‘rats.
The jerky’s good, too :)
Ah. Futurama fan.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve run into two people who I know ran into something unexplainable. I know that on a hunting trip in Oregon I heard something unexplainable.
