 The Sasquatch Pacific Northwest, USA  Nothing reliable is known about the Sasquatch. Wikipedia lists it as:Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an alleged ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. Many believers in its existence contend that the same or similar creatures are found around the world under different regional names, most prominently the Yeti of the Himalayas. The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes. Despite its dubious status, Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of cryptozoology and has become a popular symbol. The name Sasquatch, coined in the 1920's from a Salishan word, means simply "Wild man". The name of Bigfoot, more obviously, is from the size of the footprints supposedly left by the creatures. Some believe it is from an extinct genus of apes called Gigantopithecus, while others think they are skoocooms, a race of cannibalistic wild men that are regarded as supernatural living on the peak of Mount St. Helens. All the reports that have come through us, whether from fellow Hunters or civilians, have been sketchy at best. There have been many debates in the scientific community as to the validity of the sighting claims as well the possibility of the creature's existance. Some skeptics believe they are actually bear sightings. Though we can say that as of this report, no deaths have ever been attributed to a Sasquatch. With more and more demons to deal with, unless there is reliable proof that one of these creatures is harming or attempting to harm anyone, we have no reason to hunt them. What follows is a few links for further information on these elusive beings, some being more humorous than informational.
