Maybe never 'officially' per se but the following documentary is a compelling overview of the background and making of the video.The famous footage has been sufficiently debunked IMO.

The owner of the archery shop in Sandy, Oregon has some good BF encounter stories. I sense no BS when he was telling the tail, and I do have a good BS meter.
Atheists and non-believers sure do spend a lot of time and effort trying to tell everybody else they are full of sh*t..
How do you know which end he was talking to?Tale.
Now that's accuracy!
I toyed with that when I posted it, but went with accuracy just cuz it rolled off the tongue better.Technically precision.

One can agree that "...that's accuracy..." has better assonance than does "...that's precision...", even though precision is the logical choice of the word to use.
Normally, I'm better than that with my word choices...

Say it "Ent" so....When I venture out into the wilds, these are the creatures I keep my eyes peeled for, one would not enjoy an unpleasant encounter. This one was spotted in a forest in bulgaria, the photo is not mine.View attachment 722811

Not gonna waste my time.Did you go to the linked article and read their extensive analysis of the evidence and why they believe the film is authentic?
Bigfoot research is kind of like creation "science." A bunch of believers desperately searching for evidence of their already formed conclusions. That isn't science.If not, then why dismiss it?
Discrediting someone who claimed to have participated in a hoax does not prove it was not a hoax.If so, then how do you refute the following evidence?

Oh my gosh... "your story" was great comedic relief! Im hoping at least part of it was true hahaha!I worked for Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife for several years. I managed all the land in SW Washington that belonged to the agency. As A consequence, I spent most of my career wandering over thousands of acres of state lands, all by my lonesome. I was deep into the Klickitat Wildlife area (on foot) and realized that I had quite a hike to get back to my car before night fall. After about two hours of steady hiking I realized that I was being followed. I thought that it might have been a cougar, since they will do that sort of thing. I learned a little bushcraft while hunting Communists in SE Asia, so after I got onto some rocky soil, I made a quick 90 degree turn uphill and then another 90 in a spot where I could get a look at the cougar. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it was a bear! It stopped and looked directly at me (a distance of about 30 feet) and then I could see it's face. It wasn't a bear! The thing stood up on it's hind legs(it had been on all four smelling the trail that I had left) and it began to make odd noises kind of like a muffled bark and a yodel. It made no effort to run or approach me. It was still smelling the air trying to figure out exactly where I was. I moved slightly and that was all it took. It reversed it's movement and began a long loping stride back from the direction that it had come from. I took off after it ( I had a 9MM in a holster) and had to run pretty hard to catch a glimpse of it again. It now looked back at me and started kind of running. I could see that if I took a narrow deer trail to my left I could intercept the thing in about 50 yards. I ran as hard as I could and sure enough, I got within 12 to 15 feet of it. It had a very "funky" smell to it and it was quite tall (I'm 5'9") and it was at least two feet taller than me. I spoke to it in a very calm voice and moved closer. It began making those weird sounds again and it was getting dark. I spoke in low tones trying to calm it. It shuffled a bit every time I moved towards it. It kept moving away. Finally, I just said "I won't hurt you". The thing screamed at me in English, "Keep your social distance from me and wear a mask, you bastard!!"
Not gonna waste my time.

Every society seems to have what might be called "campfire stories" used to entertain and frighten children. Bigfoot/Yeti/Sasquatch fall into this category. Like Santa Claus, most people outgrow it.
Discrediting someone who claimed to have participated in a hoax does not prove it was not a hoax.
I think you mixing sasquatch with religion This reminds me of the anti-maskers lol God will keep us healthy... until it didnt. now I have friends and extended family in quarantine, including a 5 year old.Here is my story:
1) There is no such thing as Bigfoot/Sasquatch.
2) Until someone offers me concrete proof, I will maintain this belief.
3) People want to believe in Bigfoot/Sasquatch the same way they want to believe in a god / salvation / whatever. It makes them feel better to believe that there's something out there bigger than themselves to have faith in.
