Theoretically anyone could find Bigfoot. The idea is really very simple; pack up some gear and head out to your local wilderness area and be vewy, vewy, qwiet (Elmer Fudd voice). Then simply camp and fish and hang out with the wildlife. If you have any luck at all you’ll find Bigfoot; well ok, you probably won’t but you likely won’t see any bears either and everyone knows they exist. Right?

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization organizes Bigfoot hunting trips quite often; they don’t try to kill Sasquatch just look for him. According to them there are a couple of different classifications for Bigfoot witnesses:

Class A sighting: the observation was clear enough to rule out a misinterpretation of a common animal, etc. The observation was clear enough to leave only three possibilities: The witness is either totally lying, or the witness saw a real Bigfoot, or the witness saw a human in the woods wearing a Bigfoot costume.

Class B witness: a person who has not seen a Bigfoot clearly, but has perhaps had either a quick sighting or a confrontation in the dark, or at least was close enough to hear a Bigfoot.

So you’re wandering around your local forest and you see or think you see a Sasquatch, now what? The only folks who are going to believe you are other Bigfoot believers. So, do you go to your local press with your sighting? Keep it to yourself or hit the net looking for like-minded individuals?

The Holy Grail in Bigfoot hunting would be, short of actually killing one, would be to find bones. They have apparently found Sasquatch hair but so far there has been nothing definitive to come from the DNA testing. So you need to find bones, but those are very hard to find. Hard because they tend to break down fairly easily when left out in the elements.

If you were to find a bone that was recently from a Bigfoot and not a fossil you would be a star. Everyone would be after you, the media, science, ordinary folks and possibly movie and book people. Could you and your family really handle all the attention? What then happens to Bigfoot? Do hunters descend on the forests in an attempt to actually shoot the ultimate trophy?

Seeing a Sasquatch or even hearing one is not enough for most people to prove their existence. Even photos or videos are not enough because they can be faked. So everybody is left with bones, but what about the fallout that would come with that? Are you ready for all that?
