To kill one would likely mean killing the entire group. I can't do that just to rub noses in a body. Also, I'm not entirely confident a .44 mag would do the trick. I have a 50 cal BMG but it's 38 lbs and there's no way I could carry it several miles even if I wanted to.
The better plan is to monitor them whenever possible and wait for nature to provide the body. They can't live forever. Someone is gonna get sick someone is gonna have an accident sooner or later.
As far as the Govt finding those fugitives, that's incredible. Now if they'd just put that kind of effort into finding Bigfoot.
People as a rule are not difficult to find though. And they have this terrible habit of dropping dead mere yards from their car or a nearby highway. It's ridiculous. I'll wager this December there will be stories of someone found dead from exposure while out hunting for a Christmas tree.
If you could have plugged one on several occasions, then you could have had decent pictures/movies of one on several occasions.
If you could see it well enough to know it was a bigfoot, and not a bear, or a man in a bigfoot suit, that means it was within decent picture taking range.
If you were looking through a rifle scope, then you could have been looking through a zoom camera lens just as well, and pressing the button.
But somehow you never can get it together...
