Even if you buy into them being reclusive and good at hiding, why having their remains been found. Even if they get preyed on by scavengers after death, there should be skeletal remains.
Even if they somehow hide the bodies of their dead, we would have found remains.
It’s very hard to find remains of animals. Sure you find some every now and then. When was the last time someone found the remains from a bear or lynx? Not often.
Rodents love to chew up of bones and our vultures, the bird type, not the lawyers do a great job of cleaning up.
They use the secret tunnel system to transport their dead to the ancestral burying grounds in the High Himalayas, to be interred by their priest caste, known as Yetis.

What if they bury their dead? I can't speak for South Carolina but do you have any idea how rugged the mountains are in the Pacific Northwest? Look at it this way: On a standard topigraphical map the lines between the contour lines are a standard 20 feet. On a map of Fort Lewis the lines are spaced at 100meters and all squished together in some spots means it's often like climbing a ladder while humping all the gear of an infantryman.
The vegetation is so dense that a machete is a waste of effort and time. The Rangers mastered a new technique for slipping thru the woods quietly. They'd follow each other very closely. When the guy in front got hung up on the dangling vines we called waitaminute vines (The person snagged would urgently whisper wait a minute!) and the patrol would have to be constantly pausing. So if every guy carried a small pair of garden clippers he could just reach up and snip the vines so they slid away silently and the patrol could move more normally. My point being that in such steep, rugged and dense terrain it would be very easy to overlook remains if you were even lucky enough to come across them.
