Bigfoot Myths: Where are the bones?

A lot of people say that you can't ask for bigfoot bones. After all nobody ever finds bear bones or other large predator bones. Is that true? My research suggests otherwise.

I'm wondering. Are the figures you get for finding the bones of bears and stuff based on deliberate searches for bear bones, of which there are a lot more of then deliberate searches for Bigfoot bones? Or is it accidental finds?

I'm specifically addressing the claim that nobody ever finds bear bones, which some see as a valid reason to dismiss the need for sasquatch/bigfoot bones to prove their existence. The PA bear study contained reference to thousands of bear bodies, but the ones I'm pointing to were the ones found where nobody killed the bear - the "natural" deaths.

How about millions of hunters in the woods and not one bigfoot has been shot?

The more I think about this, the more ludicrous the claim is. I live in the area that the name "Sasquatch" comes from. I have personally found carcasses of moles, ravens, squirrels, rabbits, mice, rats, and salmon. All of which should preserve worse than Sasquatch. I haven't come across a dear bone, but I have friends who have. I have also come across antlers and deer scat. All that, and I'm not particularly "woodsy". Why should Sasquatch be so much harder to find samples of?

@plopnod Cont.... So great chimps are not a completely new species. It is a completely new culture of a known subspecies. BUT even if the giant chimp if it were a new species, we still have evidence of many closely related species in central Africa. Sasquatch would be an entirely different case. It would be a new genus of great ape making it's way across Asia and the Pacific, then dispersing through N. America without a trace. That would be like finding a new species of kangaroo in Africa.

@plopnod Oh, thanks about the tone comment, I appreciate yours too. I looked up the giant apes. According to my quick and dirty research... They are called the Bili apes, they live in a remote region that has been very difficult for researchers to get to. The popular press reported that it was a new species, but DNA tests show it is a member of a known subspecies, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii. Weird... I can't post the link either... it's at new scientist, search for "mystery ape".

@Everstruggling sorry,unable to send link.Check out giant chimps BBC NEWS,or U.K Science mag,there's a good number of links!

@Everstruggling I appretiate your tone,some folks get rude when debating this topic.I'm not too familiar with specific primates found here in North America,I'll have to check that out though!I've been more intrigued by primates found elsewhere,such as Africa,northern Congo region,they've discoveried a group of giant Chimps, confirmed to be a different species!They live in a very hard to get to area,hence not being discovered until just recently.I'll send you a link

@plopnod I never said that Bigfoot / sasquatch for certain don't exist. I'm saying the argument that it would be next to impossible to provide bones, some other physical remains, or a live specimen doesn't hold water. People claim to have seen these creatures, therefor if they do exist, they exist in places that have been explored. Therefor, it should not be impossible to provide the evidence. The primates found in N. America are completely different than apes. They aren't even monkeys.

@Everstruggling There were 22 new primate species discovered over the past ten years,including the "giant chimpanzee" .Many (not all) of the primate species are very shy and timid,and are only being discovered because of habitat loss!I can not say that bigfoot exists,and had been a skeptic for most of my life.Over the past few years I've changed my skeptisism,and entertain the idea that they may exist.They have now found dna belonging to an unknown primate in North America!
