I hope you know that is just television..in other words..ENTERTAINMENT, not reality.

Man vs. Wild / Born Survivor has been criticized for fabricating some of the situations Grylls finds himself in. In 2006 it was revealed that Born Survivor misled viewers into believing that Grylls was stranded in the wild alone when he was not and Channel 4 suspended the show for a few weeks.[29] The issue of scenes being manipulated was raised by Mark Weinert, a U.S. survival consultant. He told the UK's Sunday Times that Grylls spent nights in a motel in Hawaii when he was claiming to be stranded on a desert island. Mr Weinert also alleged that a raft was put together by team members before being taken apart so Grylls could be filmed building it.[30]

Grylls was shown trying to ride "wild" horses that were in fact tame, and had been hired from a trekking station nearby.
That Grylls had drank his own urine while "stranded" in a desert.
A scene where Grylls was purported to have escaped from an active volcano by leaping across lava, avoiding poisonous sulphur dioxide gas, was actually created with special effects, using hot coal and smoke machines.
Similarly, it was revealed that Grylls stayed at a crew base-camp in the Costa Rican jungle, while giving viewers the impression that he was alone.
There have been several other incidents, including the impression Grylls built a raft "in a matter of hours with no tools". According to an adviser on the show, the raft was actually in part built by a stunt consultant.
This episode implied it was filmed on a small South Pacific island, which Channel 4 admitted was actually a peninsula in Hawaii, the scene of Hollywood movie shoots.
These incidents were confirmed by Channel 4, who argued that it was not a documentary, but a "how-to" guide to survival, implying that staged scenes were acceptable in that context.[31][32][33][34] Discovery and Channel 4 aired re-edited episodes, removing elements that were too planned, with a fresh voice-over and a preceding announcement pointing out that some situations are "presented to Bear to show the viewer how to survive".

Survivalist Ray Mears has labelled Grylls a "boy scout" and a "showman" who uses TV trickery on his programme Born Survivor,[18] although one columnist pointed out that these accusations coincided with the start of one of Mears' shows on BBC2.[35]

Very well then:

1. Every living organism, from Elephants to bacteria, leaves it own ecological impact on the environment. EX: a new predator is introduced into a large area full of deer. As time goes on, the deer population will start to decrease, due to the predator consuming them. Bigfoot, however, does not leave any ecological impact on its environment. There is no decrease in deer, elk, bear, plants, etc population, which you would expect if there was a breeding population of monstrous apes, which in reality there is no such thing.

2. Lack of remains- Every Animal, no matter how rare, has to leave remains behind. Scientists have no trouble finding a new species of insect in the remote, unaccessible areas of the Congo, yet no one can seem to find a population of hairy titans living in such close perimeters to people. The fact that nearly all of NA has been mapped and developed, yet not one finding of any large ape remains, makes the likelyhood of bigfoot plummet extremely low.

3. Lack of tools- If bigfoot has evaded man for all of these centuries, you would certainly expect tools and culture from such a smart species. The fact that bigfoot is never found, yet is described as smart as a bag of dirt, does not support consistency for it being a real species.

4. Every mammal, when giving birth, would be experiencing so much pain, which would make them scream their heads off. A sasquatch would require a huge voicebox, and if ever in a painful situation, its voice would certainly be heard for miles and miles.

5. Not all forests remote- Even the Dark, mysterious forests of the PNW are surveyed and mapped to death. Wildlife biologists and park rangers do travel great distances and cover so much land that any large species would be found by now.

6. Why so few sightings?- If this thing is real, it has to have an MVP (Minimum viable population) of around 4000. If this were the case, people would be running into these things daily, not once in every blue moon.

7. No consistent behavior- No one has ever reported seeing a bigfoot give birth, mate, or fight with each other, all of which you would see in a real population of a REAL species.

8. Bigfoot is reported in all 50 states, yet not one sighting has ever lead to good evidence.

9. Where the tracks lead to- A couple 1000 of these Hairy giants would certainly leave trackways behind. Don't you think that at least one trackway would lead you to your grand prize?

I am waiting, Mikey

Could it be that you can not come up with rebuttals for each one, and feel insecure?

You're not worth rebutting, you post opinions as though they're facts and prove rather tiresome. At least with kit and the others the conversation is interesting, you, I am just poking with the proverbial stick. Now know your role and do as you were told.

I think you are just full of it, and can not simply come up with rebuttals.

Why would they battle over tracking tracks that always lead to nowhere?

You need to supress that urge to type and improve your sense of humour. Please take some Katt Williams on :tiger: and don't call me in the morning.
