I agree so I started my own thread wow for those of you that have brothers and sisters are you amazed that once and while they come up with great idea

Bigfoot would be a great encouter that truns in an adventure, I think that the TW Nightmares might have some items that could be used for combat stats

Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) is a research organization that gathers and distributes data about the cryptid Bigfoot. The organization was founded in 1995 by Matt Moneymaker, a Sasquatch researcher. BFRO has thirty curators who investigate sightings and interview witnesses. Another 300 junior associates do field work. The BFRO conducted the field research which led to the discovery of the Skookum cast. The Skookum cast was the subject of an episode of the documentary television series Animal X. The BFRO database of Bigfoot sightings is the largest on the internet. They have catalogued 4,120 reports of the creature worldwide. BFRO's investigations are the subject of the television series Finding Bigfoot on the channel Animal Planet.

Of course it could be a guy with mud and leaves on him like in the Simpsons go Camping

Considering that the beasts have been spotted in every state except Hawaii, and in most Canadian provinces, an encounter, though rare, might be fun.

Incidentally, the crew from Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot was in my neck of the woods last week.

Yes, I think it would be a entertaining idea to indroduce some mythical thing such as Sasquatch in a adventure even if it is just a sighting or rumor and nothing else. This would work great for Canucks or people working/fighting in the Canadian wilderness. I have to ask this question though. Is it illegal to kill something that isn't supposed to exist? Not that I would take a shot at the big guy myself, but it would be one way to confirm it's real. I heard in some state maybe like Idaho it was illegal to harass a Sasquatch. So what if you kill one?

I guess killing is equal to or greater than harassing. Have any of our members passed the Idaho bar exam?

We'd probably kill it anyways. Some how or another. Last year we discovered the oldest known animal, a clam, and instead of letting it live longer, we killed and ate the damn thing!

The only law on the books against killing a Bigfoot is in Skamania County, Washington. There was a rash of sightings there in '69, and the usual monster hunters showed up-from bowhunters to guys with BARs. The Sheriff was afraid with all the guys with guns around, someone would get shot, so he asked the County Board of Supervisors (or however they do it in Washington-County Commissioners, or whatever) to pass an ordnance making it illegal to kill a Bigfoot. Penalty is up to 5 years in the County Jail and a $10,000 fine. There were attempts in the '70s in Oregon, California, and Washington to pass state laws protecting the beast, but all failed.
