Ecological ethics aside, aiming a gun at a Bigfoot could be a bad idea. You simply can't know for sure if the mysterious, burly figure you have lined up in your sights is the real beast, or a bear, or a hoaxer in a costume.

Alcohol may have been a factor.

Wonder how long it takes a frivolous wrongful death lawsuit to appear.....

They never say what kind of car hit the guy. Would an FR-S have led to a different outcome?

You can always build one yourself. Get some fishing net, burlap, twisted sisal rope and some dye in green, brown and tan. You then have the option of how you want to build it. You can make a blanket, a poncho or a "suit" by fixing the netting to a jacket or set of coveralls. Once the suit is completed it is recommended that you spray it down in some sort of fire retardant as the materials are quite flammable.

Oh the final step is find the nastiest ugliest looking ditch full of water, mud and scum and crawl through it repeatedly.

I wonder, can I do an urban camouflage ghillie suit? I'm thinking I'd cover myself with discarded McDonald's wrappers, a bus stop, etc. Not sure if this adds anything to this thread. I just needed a quick break.

Working in a dilapidated area, I've thought of that. Trash, piles of bricks, a stop sign with two eye holes...

Also, I sell ghillie suits.

Do you make them yourself? I am thinking about putting one together as a winter project.
