    From Fox:
    Dyer says he shot and killed the mythical monster in a wooded area

    Wut? Must have been some gun...


    Anyways, it's not bigfoot, its the wrong colour.

    I seem to remember Bigfoot was in fact an android from the future but Steve Austin put an end to his shennanigans.

    Maybe he was on his way to the set for the hobbit where he played a dwarf and got lost in the woods.

    Dyer will take the body on tour across North American where he will charge a fee to view the body.

    I see no reason he would make this story up,... can you?

    Upright ones? In North America?

    Anyway, unicorns don't need to be magic. A single horn on a horse is all it takes.

    With HD cameras on phones these days, it always amazes me at the crap footage that people take of things like this and UFOs. "Look Bigfoot. Let me get the worst camera in the world to take a video".

    Considering that most if not all are deliberate hoaxes I am not surprised in the least

    Do some posters on here believe there is a chance that Bigfoot exists or existed? Mind boggling

    existed? Maybe.

    I dont believe in the dodo to be honest. ever since i found out about the brontosaurus, if i cant see it in a zoo, it isnt real.

    There are enormous forests in North America, vast swathes of land that haven't been explored in any serious way. So it's not completely ridiculous to suggest that there are as yet undiscovered mammalian species living in these forests. The same is true of the Amazonian and other places.

    Of course, the larger the alleged animal, the smaller the likelihood that it will go undetected. A very hairy bipedal ape standing between 5 and 8 feet tall is going to have a hard time hiding in the trees. Especially considering that he claims to have shot this thing in Southern Texas, that seems like an awfully big coat for an animal which has to contend with summer temps around 30 degrees.

    TL;DR: Bigfoot-like animal exists? Not completely impossible. This guy has shot one? Not a chance.
    I'd agree with you there. It's not totally impossible but the vast amount of people actively looking for it, coupled with the fact that there are so many alleged sightings that the creature doesn't exactly seem to be shy of humans, would lead me to believe that actual proof should be easier to find.

    After all there are very rare, very shy, very small, animals living in much more remote areas and people manage to sight, record, and study them. A 6"-7" tall ape hanging around within hiking distance of a campsite should leave some kind of trace of it's existence, whether through corpses, hair, spoor, or calls.

    That was my point. There is little excuse for poor video/photo quality these days which points more towards a hoax.

    Warning! This video appears to show a photo of Bigfoots arse crack :eek:

    http://www.ksat.com/news/bigfoot-hunter-shares-pictures-of-dead-creature/-/478452/23743310/-/23q274/-/index.html

    The "reactions" of the people viewing the corpse is proof enough for me :pac:

    Where the **** is Bigfoot...?

    Okay, long story short: A guy named Rick Dyer claimed he shot and killed Bigfoot. Dyer said he'd sell DVDs showing the body and a separate video showing an autopsy.

    Dyer, pictured left after he was arrested on fraud charges not related to Bigfoot, also got himself a cool looking SUV and a trailer so he could drive the Bigfoot body all over the country showing it off to those who would pay. Nifty!

    Oh, and there was a pay-per-view last week where you could pay to see the body.

    That Pay-per-view? Never happened. Those DVDs? Never shipped. The body? Nobody has seen it. Dyer keeps promising, but appears to be awfully short of any delivery. Big surprise.

    Throw all of this Bigfoot drama together and you have a big pile of steaming Sasquatch poo that Dyer has stepped right into. Apparently Dyer invited someone who is known in Bigfoot circles to come view the body, only to ditch the guy after he flew to Los Angeles to meet Dyer.

    So who is this Dyer character who claims to have shot, killed, and autopsied Biggfoot? Many claim he has a long history of fraud including ripping people off on eBay. Some Bigfoot fans think he's the second coming with his rather loud bravado, often sounding like Bill Clinton denying he ever had "sex with that woman". Dyer is/was a used car salesman. Big Surprise again.

    Just give this simply awful rap video Dyer has up a view - it is painful in both song and vanity Dyer pays to himself. And I thought the UFO people were weird, ego oriented, vain, and living vicariously through the Internet. Anyhow, this has caused a big stir in the Bigfoot world and there is so much drama and nonsense going on that I really don't feel like taking the time to put it all here. Just do a search and you'll find plenty to fill any amount of free time you might have.

    This isn't the first time Dyer has claimed to have a dead Bigfoot. Remember back in 2008 when two men were paid $50,000 for a dead Bigfoot? Yep, that hoax also involved Dyer. Big surprise, eh?

    In the meantime, check out this cool picture of Dyer's SUV and trailer he says he's going to haul Bigfoot around in...nifty. Eat your heart out Ray Santilli!

    I think this might be fake. I do believe there could be something like that out there maybe even in the Wicklow mountains. But I reckon this guy staged it...

    Getting worked up about somebody possibly killing Bigfoot is like arguing all day about the environmental impact of slaughtering the Loch Ness monster.

    Bigfoot is considered an endangered species by some organizations. Depending on the state or country someone could face criminal charges for killing one.

    I'd be interested to know why you give credence to bigfoot but not unicorns? Why is a horse with a horn less believable than a giant hairy ape?

    because there is far more reports (fake or not) of bigfoot than unicorns. Plus there were giant apes in the fossil record. Not ruling out the possibility of a new primate existing does not mean one automatically believes in unicorns.

    Sums up my position completely.

    considering how many searches there have been for missing people using infra red etc, considering the sensors on the borders, the numbers of CCTV, smartphones, considering the complete lack of fossil record or physical remains or hairs or spoor or poo I'd be utterly shocked there was another biped in the forests apart from humans and bears on their hindlegs.

    The human gait is very different from other apes so it's not even gorillas or Gigantopithecus


    I've love it was giant sloths, they only went extinct 5,000 years ago
    I'd like them to be like http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x31/evilbdayclown/1223333893147.jpg
