The story making the rounds in Bigfoot circles is Dr. Melba Ketchum is testing DNA from two Bigfoot shot by hunters in Northern California in 2010. The Olympic Project is assisting her.

The story goes two hunters came across two Bigfoot and shot (at) them:

As the truck came around a corner they both noticed a large hair covered figure standing approx 80 to 100 yards in a meadow off to the side of the road. ( On the Bigfoot forum I previously said it was off to the left, that was my mistake, it was actually off to the right of the road.) The figure was standing on two legs with it's arms above it's head. It took roughly eight to ten steps toward the vehicle. The arms were moving a little either because it was walking, or it was intensionally swaying them. It was dirty grey in color with some black mixed in. The figure was very large. Hunter 1 decided it had to be a bear. It was completely hair covered, and from that distance good definition was impossible. Hunter 1 got out of the truck and leaned against the door aiming his riffle at the figure. He does admit that it looked strange but in his mind it had to be a bear. He did not believe in Bigfoot at that time. Hunter 2 was now looking at the figure and said " I'm not sure that's a bear". The shot was fired hitting it's mark in the chest region. The figure went down. It got back up immediately and started running on two legs, and then on all fours. It went from two legs to four legs a couple of times before it left view. A short time later they were very sure they heard it crash into the brush, although they never did confirm this. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.


The bodies were not recovered at the time but flesh was supposedly recovered later:


I then urged hunter 1 to return to the site and look around for any evidence from the incident. Upon returning they were greeted with roughly two feet of snow. The little one was not found. They concentrated their efforts in the area where they thought they heard the larger one go down. After digging though the snow for many hours they were able to find a piece of flesh, greasy fat and hair, but no body. The flesh and hair matched the color of the larger one exactly. White gray hair with some black in it.


You can read the whole story here: Sierra Shooting

I am not impressed. Unless there is more to the story they're not releasing yet. As it stands, even if this is all true what will any evidence obtained from the flesh prove? It could have been flesh from anything and contaminated in any way. This seems like poor science to me. Just finding a hunk of flesh and fat under two feet of snow in an area where you THINK you shot a Sasquatch doesn't seem good enough. Any results from this investigation will just be controversial and may, in the long run, hurt any credibility the field of cryptozoology has.

If there really were two hunters in the Sierra what were they hunting ? Are there not laws against shooting game other than that which it states on your hunting license ? I've never seeen a license for hunting bigfoot. These two pouchers should be gang raped by sasquatch. Or at least get a big boot right in the woo hoo.
