Anybody watch the 10-million dollar Bigfoot Challenge series opener last night?

The dust had hardly cleared before one guy allowed as how he'd "shot and killed two of 'em" in the past.

Apparently one was full grown and the other was a baby.
The smaller one was with the adult.

He then says the adult got away ( so how does he know he killed it?) and the baby he ended up strangling because the shot didn't kill it.

He shot them,he claims, because he wants to present a real Bigfoot to the world, living or dead.

So then he had in his possession a body (because he just killed it)........but it's never seen by the world. he submits a little piece of skin/fur for analysis and claims it was said to be "feral human". Whereupon the onsite scientist on the show quickly tells him that there's no such thing as "feral human" DNA. Either it's human or it isn't.

It is said the guy passed a lie detector test. But if he actually killed a baby Bigfoot it would be easy getting it into a vehicle and then offering it up for further study/pictures etc etc . And he would get the notoriety he is seeking....

I was hoping this show was going to be a serious attempt at
possibly discovering a Bigfoot...IF....they exist at all.

My hopes are dashed already......
 
yeah, Zen,.. i'm not too fond of shows like that. i heard a tape of this alleged killer and it sounds like he injured a momma bear that ran away, so he shoots a cub. claimed the two babies got too close to his lying ass. at least that my guess. like you said,.. he gets evidense, then leaves it. i don't get it!!!:confused: ever hear the 911 tape of the guy who calls in claiming to have shot & killed BF! that isht would've went global. lol
even "Finding Bigfoot" is lousey, IMO. :(
 
Scientists know. There's a whole discipline known as scatology that is devoted to studying animal poo. Dirty jobs, anyone?

poop doesn't last very long in the wild, IMO/E. take a dump in the forest and before you stand up, dung beetle's are rolling chunks of fece's along the ground. by the end of the day, the pile can be gone. nothing lasts in the woods,... nothing. there are micro organisms that can dissolve hair and bone, let alone the skin and organ tissue that scavengers leave. my co-worker trapped & killed three raccoons that were killing our chickens and everything sans bone was gone in a few days. also, not every stool sample is tied to a known source.
