If anything about that 2010 incident is to be believed, the shooter emptied a shotgun, perhaps not in the direction of, but certainly close enough to two bystanders that they fled from the site in haste great enough to damage their vehicle. The shooter claims to have heard their car door slam as they sped away, so he was pretty close. Prior to that he had absolutely no idea they were there. This incident came very close to being a real tragedy - and this is from the version of events these people have been willing to put out as the public story. Who knows how close a shave it really was.
Lessons for 'footers:
1) These "wilderness" areas you think harbor only bigfoots and rugged Navy SEAL types like yourself have been and continue to be visited by humans more often than you think. Sometimes, it's even by a dude and his girlfriend taking a walk on their lunchbreak.
2) If you're shooting at a bigfoot you're not, because there are no such things as bigfoots. Thus, if you are successful in your attempt to shoot that bigfoot in front you, then it's going to end badly for you because you have just shot something that is not a bigfoot.
3) When people like me say we'd need a body of a bigfoot to prove there's a bigfoot, that doesn't mean you - or anyone - needs to go shoot one. If bigfoots are real, then one will eventually get hit by a snowplow or wash out of a streambank somewhere.
