For those who are interested.
On 16th of November, 1941 in Manitoba, Canada.
15 miles west of Gypsumville.
A Sasquatch got shot, when it was mistaken for a
mooses rump.
I managed to find the link again.

There are other links on the page that link to artwork.
I wonder how far Gypsumville is from Nelson River?

Hi All
I've just been checking some maps of Manitoba.
Gypsumville is just South of Lake Winnipeg.
Norway House, the area of the current sightings,
is just to the North of Lake Winnipeg.
Trivia: The Indians in Manitoba use the name Wendigo for bigfoot.
I dont know how true the story is, but the hunter does give quite a bit of detail. Far more than I would of thought necessary, if it were an untruth.
Over the years, I've come across mayby a dozen stories of shot, executed or captured cryptids. This one, is just one of the more recent ones.
So, when it comes to cryptids, there are bodies, but for whatever reason, they just dont end up in the hands of scientists.

Folcrom.

specimens
If scientists did get specimens they would not make it public.
Specimens of Australian bigcat have been handed in and there is complete denials that they ever existed.
The only published findings on ABC is my effort and that does not count for much.
I have proved that the ABC which can grow to the size of the largest puma has the same genetics as the ordinary housecat.

Hi Wally
Thats true enough. Even if scientists get decent samples, there's no gurantee that results become public.
In the case of the Canadian hunter, he was worried that he'd be locked up. His victim, although obviously not human, looked too human. Should he have reported the kill? Would he have been charged if he had? Would the whole thing have been covered up?
As for big cats. I know for a fact that feral cats can grow very large. It only takes, 3 to 5 generations, as far as I can tell. In that time, they can double and even triple their normal "household moggie" size.
When I use to hunt. Feral animals, pigs, cats, dogs, fox, hare etc, were shot on sight as a matter of course. If the feral was an edible species (rabbit, dear etc), that was a bonus. You can eat feral pig, but damm, you'd want to cook the meat very well.
I can tell you, leave the moggies alone in the bush as ferals for several generations and they revert to the wild and grow rather big. And I haven't even mentioned feral exotic cats, which have been introduced into the wild in the past. Mostly by accidental release. Add that to the possibility that the marsupial cat, the Thylaceo, may still be around.
There are likely many species of carnivore in our Aussie bush that "appear" to be feline. Some of them will be, some of them wont. They need to be located, tranqued, samples taken and their existance ratified.
