No I am not joking. I want to go hunt the BF (AKA Big Foot).
I am not a total believer in BF but why not try "No BS" approach and try to "Shoot first take pictures later"?

Back in 96-99 I used to camp and hike in the area which is famost for numerous BF sightings. Back then I did not know that and when something was running around our camp at night I did not pay much attention and went to sleep soundly in my truck. I thought is may be just coyotes making noises.

Later I found several reports of BF encounters from that same area. One from exactly same spot where I used to camp! It made me think about going back there and try to shoot that illusive big monkey if it does exist.

If some well armed, with some balls resident of Washington or neighbouring states want to come along I would love some company. I want to drive my F-350 with camper upthere, put on recorded BF sounds and see if anybody shows up. If he does stuff him with enough led to bring him down.

Needless to say I expect countless replies ridiculing my idea and countless offers of tin foil hats. Thanks ahead of time. If anybody is seriously interested let me know.

I do need NV scope though. Anybody wants to sell me cheap used Gen II rifle scope by any chanse?

By the way if you wonder who the hell I am, I am Volk from Gunsnet if anybody stops by that site too.

I'm game, what should I bring to shoot BF with?  Would my AR be enough or should I toss in the huntin rifle?

*ETA* I wonder if anyone would pay for a guided big foot hunt?    How's the popcorn coming?

I say go for it, but just make sure of your target.    It would suck to poach an animal like a bear, or shoot a person running around in their BF costume

You had better get a 50BMG.  They can take a plane down you know...only over Kalifornyet though.

Area is rather remote. Likelyhood of somebody in the monkey suit is next to 0.
Bear should look distinct enough to recognize it. I need NV scope though.

It is not illegal to shoot BS exepr in Skamania county. It does not exist after all.

For those with no weapons larger than AR. I could loan one DSA FAL (unless prohibited by law) to one guy.

I am only looking for one, two at the most ballzy guys that will not shit pants and run at the sound of one broken twig on the ground. Large group will scare BF away.

Might get with some of those Minuteman guys. They'd probably love to help.

I used to be big into the Bf thing. I guess it could exist.

there area  few groups out there who claim to activeley hunt the things. One group is called the GCBRO they claimed to have shot one in the gut and have bags full of tissue samples. Course you just have to take their word for it. Bunch of aholes those guys are. Same goes fora  group from the Kiamichi mountains, claim to shot one blah blah blah. Same hoaxers as the other group.

There is another group what claims to be the "only" scientific group out there but they are more into eco tours for big $$. BFRO is the name.

I came into it a skeptic and feel it could be real to a certain degree. Certainly not as widespread ash the hardcore beleivers would make you think. That foorage I always thought was a hoax sure looks different when picked apart. Over 4 different people claim to be the one in the suit. At close examination you can see what appears to be muscle movement, big boobies, scars and stuff like that. Pretty interesting.

Hey if they are real, I agree that its gonna take a body to prove it. I wonder if I came across one and I blasted it, what woudl I do with it then?

I though you were looking for your boyfriend. (BF)

It's going to take a body to start the stampeed of untrained gun owners looking to get rich. Leave the big guy alone.

If you harvest a Big Foot, be sure to stuff it and post pics.

Seriously, I would reconsider a summer hunt, sasquatch would have more fur in the winter to make for a better trophy.

Does Safari Club International have a Big Foot category in their record book?

LOL.

Would make one hell of a full-body mount for the trophy room!  I could get him mounted with his hands out cradling my rifle with a "WTF!!!" look on his face.

Quick sombody still have a link to the Big Foot thread that would not die?

You'll need some chromoton torpedoes as BF has multiphasic sheilds according to our 'experts'.

Kewl!  I've always wanted to be able to take down a plane...whoops I mean have a 50BMG

This is bullshit.  Anybody who knows anything at all about bigfeet knows that they frequent SE Oklahoma.  Get with the program damn it.

Isn't there a Big Foot forum somewhere? You might find some good pointers there.

YEEHAA!!!!! If was closer I would be up for it. Nothing like a nice extended walk in the woods to relax the body, mind and soul. Of course this hunt begs the question "What would be the best gun to hunt bigfoot with" thread complete with poll.
Of course since bigfoot is an american icon (yeah yeah yeah, I know all about the yeti et al.) I would have to go with the classic M1 Garand complete with bayonet. heck, line 'em up just right and you might get a twofer with just one shot!
Since BF is not a game animal would it be legal to use motorized vehicle to pursue? (I am thinking ATVs to drive them to a kill site)
