Even if Bigfoot had special secret burial rites, hid the bones of their dead like elephants, or even (gag) ate them, there still would be a breakdown in tradition during times of high mortality. That would make it much easier for humans to find a fresh Bigfoot body---not fossils, not bones, but a large hairy dead apeman not too far from a major body of water, a human hunting area, or a road.

Let's not forget that during the Black Plague and the Spanish Flu epidemic, human burial traditions were thrown by the wayside under the pressure of the inordinate number of bodies, and humans were stacked like logs inside of morgues and buried in mass graves without markers. When under enough pressure, any society suffers from a breakdown and sentimental concerns like burial rites are abandoned in favor of sheer survival. There's no reason to believe that Bigfoot would be any different, or superior to mankind in that respect.

In addition, what does Bigfoot eat? If it eats meat, why doesn't Bigfoot's migratory habits affect the local wildlife populations? Why aren't farmers reporting predatory apemen attacking their livestock? and if Bigfoot is vegetarian in nature, why don't we find areas in which they presumably live stripped of all edible vegetation? An animal that large would require quite a bit of food every day in order to survive. Why aren't there reports of Bigfoot raiding crops and gardens all over the country? Why isn't Bigfoot eating out of the dumpsters behind rural restaurants and grocery stores, when Bigfoot has been seen in fairly populated areas before? All we've heard about thus far is Bigfoot snitching a little bacon and a can of beans.

Between a lack of a body due to disease during epidemics and the lack of impact that Bigfoot's eating habits have on its presumed environment, I find it very, very hard to believe that Bigfoot exists at all.
