Well... Until it's proven that they DON'T exist, we can't really rule out the possibility. It never sounded that infeasible to me anyway.

Yes, indeed, the print of his hair shows up clearly in the cast. Another thing I thought was interesting: the lines on the bottom of the foot in humans run diagonally across the sole; in apes straight across, and in Sasquatch they run vertically. This is the clearest and largest print that has ever been found, and I guess everybody's pretty excited about it. I did a search and got lots of sites.

Uh, well. Yes Virginia there is a Sasquatch (Big foot) and I am willing to bet there is a yeti and other big primates out there just waiting for us to catch one (Pray we do not do that will a bullet)
The Skeptic have neatly pigeon holed everything so we need not to worry about it and it is all, of course, fantasy.
However, Bones have been found of giant hominids in other parts of the world (dating back a long time ago, millions of years)- Thus the possibility of a giant hominid alive today is not that remote.
Some new data to add to your list about big guys in the forests of the USA: Run a search on The Smithsonian Giants, I think that you will be slightly amused to find that Giant bones and skulls have been discovered all across the USA, they are neatly crated and sent off the the Smithsonian where they are buried, I mean, filed for future study.
Native American Culture is rich in the story of giants, and also in the story of Hairy Giant Men - Which suggests that they saw or knew something we do not.
Speaking of Remote. Most skeptics who tell us that there is no way that a creature that size could exist this long without being found due to man's expansion into the wilderness will fail to tell you that the wilderness is still fairly large and there are a lot of remote areas that no human being has been too. Yep, even in the North West USA. Further, it isn't until recently in history that we have been able to access remote areas of the north western wilderness due to terrain and geological features.
Not only that but a clump of primate hair was found a few years ago which couldn't be classified under the known species. It was found in Orgeon, and it was reddish in color, and it was found close to a rather large imprints of a large human-like foot.
I have no doubt that Big foot is a Real deal. Further, I suspect that mankind will uncover several other hidden species as his quest to subdue and dominate and rape the earth presses him deeper into the gnarly woods.

Sure, why not? I'm just a bigfoot agnostic, I guess. I don't disbelieve but I don't necessarily believe, either. I won't say it's not possible, but I won't state unnervingly that I believe until I can shake paws with the beast. It just doesn't affect me that much, though, so I don't put too much weight into it.
Catty, have we been dating the same men?
