Should our elusive hairy friend be proven..what should the creature be named?

I've always like the name Sasquatch.

With the fact that nothing further has been proven to the general public since the October 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, the people I talk with outside of the BF investigation community generally sneer or giggle when either Sasquatch or Bigfoot are mentioned. The appearance of costumed creatures in Madison Avenue advertizing-- most recently to sell jerky for Jack Links-- does not help our cause. Both the name Sasquatch and Bigfoot have become tainted by the stream of pranks and hoaxes posted on the Internet.

As a matter of personal experience, I find that I get a better response from folks when I initiate the conversation using terms such as "BF creatures" or "wood boogers" or "swamp apes." They usually make the association with Sasquatch or Bigfoot themselves-- but the discussion has begun on a more serious tone and they seem open to the possibility that such creatures exist.

I say call it Sasquatch until it's determined what exactly they are.

P.S. Does anyone have the story about the Bigfoot that was shot back in 1941 by a 17 year old man? I received it from someone/somewhere and can't find it now.

Thanks.

Artist rendition based on Peter's description of the BF creature he shot

Go to http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=9552 for the complete story from 1941. Peter, 17-years old at the time, was hunting moose out of season in Manitoba, Canada as food for his family when he shot a creature with the above description.
