Why wouldn't bigfoot hunt humans?

Bigfoot reportedly hunts large mammals, up to the size of bears.

What is keeping bigfoot from picking off humans such as solitary hikers? Or stealing the occasional child who gets away from a family of campers?

It would be such an easy meal for a creature that is much larger, stronger, faster than humans, and apparently nearly undetectable by humans.

Also apparently nearly unkillable, even with our smoke poles.

They are clearly not afraid to sneak up close to humans, even groups of humans.

So what has kept bigfoot from eating this other weak mammal?

Diet and Digestion

The sasquatch is an omnivore with a substantial carnivorous component to its diet. They have been observed directly to eat leaves, berries, fruits, roots, aquatic plants and other vegetable matter, catch fish, dig up clams or ground squirrels, and prey on poultry, deer, elk and bear. In addition, they eat other odd items, such as young evergreen shoots, crayfish, road kill, meat or fish from human storage sites, hunter-killed game animals (these sometimes snatched in front of the hunter), and occasional garbage. They take an occasional livestock animal, but not with sufficient frequency as to produce organized persecution.

They appear to kill large prey animals by a blow with the fist, rock or stick or by twisting their necks, sometimes to the point of decapitation. Liver and other internal organs are their first targets. The remaining meat is sometimes stored on the ground under a haphazard shelter of sticks or lifted into tree forks above ground. No compelling evidence exists that they store food in any substantial way beyond this; only rarely has a sasquatch been observed carrying a fish some distance from its origin, or a deer, presumably into hiding.

Because "Bigfoot is a Noble Savage" that "Lives In Perfect Harmony With Their Surroundings" and is "More Peaceful Than Modern Man"... Or some garbage like that.
 
They know if they start something, well, it's no more Good-n-Plenty for them. And even though they're super-smart, they lack the ability to manufacture candy.
 
Because Bigfoot knows that that would be the one time that somebody calls the police and then their existence would be confirmed. Bigfoot doesn't want that to happen so it doesn't eat people. It doesn't even harm people for the same reason.
 
Folks go missing in the Pacific Northwest all the time.

Maybe they are eating people. :eek:
 
Bigfoot eating people is a popular theme with some enthusiasts. There is even a pinned thread at the BFF discussing how bigfoot beheads people.

I suspect this ups the campfire story chill factor of the BLAARG.
 
Do people eat Bigfoot? Are there any backwoods folks who eat Bigfoot but then won't tell anyone about it?
 
Isn't it called "begging the question" when you suppose the answer within your question? Or something like that. Anyway, to the substance......

Why wouldn't they? Well, for the sake of the thread (only) let's assume they exist. They might not kill humans because past experience has taught them that attacking humans means they wind up dead. Or they might not attack humans because they too are god's creatures and recognise another created in the image of god and possessing an eternal soul (I feel sick writing that crap). Or they might not attack humans because our flesh isn't tasty. Or they might not attack humans because they are human too. Or they might not attack humans because they are kind, gentle vegetarians who would rather help a lost or injured human than kill them.

Or they might kill humans after all, but do it so well that no-one ever suspects them.

Hypothetical game-playing. Why are we doing it?
 
All the Missing Person Reports from Yosemite are Bigfoots Killing people.

I've seen this argument put forward and have to admit that it's plausible assuming the existence of Bigfoot.
 
My buddy is a member of BFRO, a source of many laughs for me I assure you, and he swears that they are always dodging some bigfoot peril or another, such as logs being thrown, holes dug and camouflaged ect.

So who knows what would/does happen if bigfoot gets one of em.
 
Muchalat Harry's story includes a bit about him looking around at piles of bones and that's what convinces him to run like hell to escape his bigfooty captors at his first opportunity. That story is approaching 100 years old.
 
Bigfoot has no reason to eat humans. It has a plentiful supply of the NW Tree octopus.

This would certainly have been going on in the past.

Today, you'd think there'd be so much money paid for a bigfoot body, that people would turn at least some of it in. :)

Well yeah but if they taste really good you might eat the whole thing. Then after you've eaten a few Bigfoots you keep saying to yourself that the next one you kill will go to science.

It's like the bag of potato chips thing where you say you are going to stop four different times before you end up polishing off the entire damn bag.
 
Here is a funny connection.

The William Roe Story, is basically the Odysseus and the Cyclops Story retold.

In the Roe Story, he tricks the Bigfoots into eating tobacco, and they get so sick, that they fall victim to the human trickery.

In the Homer story, Odysseus tricks the Cyclops into drinking undilluted wine, the Cyclops gets drunk, passes out, and the Odysseus stabs him in the eye with his sword.
