Key things to remember:
1) They are big! At apx 8-9 feet and 750+ pounds they are extremely large creatures.
2) They travel in packs, when you see one there are normally others around also. Our theory is that they travel in a family/pack unit so if you wound one, specifically a juvenile one, others will come to its aid…this should allow for a terrific opportunity to bag multiple specimens if a wounded/disabled one is used as bait.
3) They move extremely fast especially their linear movement however they do not appear to be able to change direction nearly as fast once moving. This lack of agility provides the opportunity for a leading shot to hit especially when you have one on the run.
4) They can take a good deal of damage, from our one confirmed run in with one even wounded they move extremely quick and evasively. Our recommendation is to use as much firepower as possible on the creature remember it will run after being hit until its blood pressure drops enough for it to collapse…the more bullet holes the quicker it falls.
5) They hate dogs, after wounding one previously we sent our pack of dogs after in an attempt to run the wounded creature down. Unfortunately one of the dogs did not return and the next day we found the body with its back snapped. The after-action review of the incident revealed several alternate possibilities that will we put in place next time.
6) While they may appear to be hairy humans they are far far from it, so there should be no hesitation to shoot if one is seen. We only one time have run into this problem and the pussy was promptly dismissed from the hunting party as his hesitation possibly cost us a perfect opportunity to bring down a full size specimen. Also do not hesitate to leave a mortally wounded one in place temporarily to draw others to your location…the more specimens the better! You can always humanely put one down later if none show up with a close range shot to the head...but remember even severely wounded they are still dangerous animals so make sure its dead.
Weapons of Choice:
1) Currently our bread and butter carbine for Bigfoot hunting is the LWRCI REPR. This extremely versatile weapon can deliver rapid, accurate shots from numerous ranges. More information can be found here: http://www.lwrci.com/p-120-repr.aspx
2) You always need a back up weapon and a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter Model in .44 magnum is a perfect choice. More information can be found here: http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelSuperBlackhawkHunter/models.html
3) Obviously there are numerous other weapons we use and each member can carry what they feel is appropriate. We also regularly carry flashbangs and smoke grenades for use when we have hopefully circled a pack of Bigfoots…the plan is to extremely disorientate the creatures to more easy kill them with overwhelming firepower. Remember we don’t even need a complete corpse to prove their existence in a worse case scenario…even an arm or leg would do if that’s all that’s left.
