Hmmm. I watched a TV show late last year on the Patterson film. In it, the had a man that claimed to be the guy in the big foot suit. He even demonstrated the walk. His gate matched pretty close to what the patterson film shows.
I think there is enough wilderness in America to support animals we dont know about, but I think the Patterson footage was faked. As stated above, it WAS released during the Planet of the Apes craze tha swept the nation at the time.
I also watched that documentary.
The man's name is Bob Heironimus.
He's also been interviewed by Greg Long who wrote a book about it, trying to debunk the Patterson film..
Here's Heironimus during the time of the Patterson Filming [Remember, he was the man in the suit..]:

Pretty average build, right?
Now here's the 'suit':

Broad shoulders, big muscles.
You might say the ''costume'' was stuffed, but take into account the fluid motion expressed in the film.
A man in a suit can only move so much with cotton or pads on his body.
Here's a kind of recent picture of Heironimus with Phillip Morris, the creator of the suit, and Big Foot:

Heironimus originally said the suit was created by skinning a horse, but here he is with Phillip Morris's suit.
He also said it was created by skinning a horse in the documentary.
Here's another suit created by Phillip Morris:

Here's a suit, similar to the one Heironimus and Morris was holding, compared to the "suit" in the Patterson video:

Below is a comparison shot of Jim
McClarin walking through the creature’s tracks that were still visible on the sandbar at the time Jim and John Green did their film recreation. Jim
McClarin was five inches taller than Bob Heironimus, but that isn't important in this case for I am only talking about the distance each subject and their
surroundings were from the camera. There could not have been more than a two inch difference in the skeletal hip width between these two men, yet
the creature in the Patterson film had massive upper thighs that are about as big as McClarin’s waist.

) i could go with infra red, heat sensors etc,
motion cameras. id need an experienced tracker too......it would be extremely fun for me actually regardless of the outcome..... i could helicopter
over the site as its quite large id imagine........ that way i could get a clear view of habitat.
