It's not ridicule, the Yanks would love nothing better than whooping and hollering if they shot a bigfoot, its just no genuine proof, that's the top and bottom of it.I remember watching a hunting bigfoot type documentary, the guy said they know where trail-cams are, they can sense them, he also said in his area there was an Alpha male and two females with a couple of juveniles ? but as always, you guessed it, no proof.
