Is Bigfoot real? What do y'all make of this show "Mountain Monsters" on the channel Destination America?

I have watched almost every season of this show and while I do believe in Bigfoot/Yetti/Sasquatch I still don't know what to make of this show. I know it has to be faked a little to keep viewership or at the very minimum highly edited ,but some of the things that happen seam real and these guys are not world class actors so the emotion and fear seems genuine. I have never heard of some of the new "monsters" they are tracking and trying to catch all over the country. I think there have been too many sightings and encounters all over the world for hundreds of years to at least be open to the fact that there could be some type of being on the earths surface that has remained well hidden for this long.

I am very intrigued by the sighting and the castings of footprints that all look similar around the world but, still very confused about the absence of a skeleton or solid undisputed pictures or 4K quality video.

What do you think about the show Mountain Monsters on Discovery America channel? Has anyone here on Steemit ever had a real encounter with a Big Foot or something scary and unexplainable that has happened in the deep woods? I keep thinking I would love to see a Bigfoot......but maybe I actually don't. What are your opinions of shooting a Bigfoot for research? If you saw one and felt threatened do you think you would have the time or even the guts to pull a trigger? The state your brain would be in upon seeing something like a Bigfoot could probably make a man freeze to the point of not even remembering he has a weapon.
