I live in an extremely rural area, in fact you'd be hard pressed to find an area in the lower 48 more isolated than this, with thousands of square miles of wilderness and open Federal land. In over 40 years of hiking, hunting, fishing and exploring this vast area, I have never come across the bones or even the claw of a bear, yet I see them all the time. Two huge black bears ran within 50 yards my brother and I just two weeks ago while we were fishing (we almost jumped in the lake).

For the other poster to say that "most of America [is] covered by hunters, fishermen, hikers, climbers, trail bikes, ATVs..." and thus someone should have found bones of a Bigfoot by now is wrong. Most folks do not venture off the beaten path, whether it is a trail or dirt road and most animals go to die in heavy brush or are carried there to be eaten by predators. How may bird bones does one find in his own backyard? With all the birds flying about, there should be thousands of bird skeletons all over the place.
