They will never capture or kill the bigfoot near Sru Lake because of the lay of the land. If you go to google earth you will see that the area surrounding the lake is complete wilderness and not accessible by vehicle or plane. Too much forest for a plane to be of any help in searching for it. Also the land gives the bigfoot the option to get away in several directions and then return as it pleases. The thing to do is close the lake to the public and then wait and see what happens in the next few years. It has never been a money maker for FS so it doesn't mean a loss of revenue.
To kill it would be criminal in my book because their can't be all that many of the animals alive. People need to settle down and just leave this bigfoot to roam and do whatever bigfoot does. Maybe at one time this animal was shot at by a human, thus making it not friendly towards us. To simply kill it because we don't understand it would be a true travesty. There are many miles of forest out there for all, so can't we do with a little less at Sru Lake? I believe the USFS is doing the right thing by closing the lake to the public.

As an active law enforcement person, I believe trying to kill this animal would be a crime against everything we believe as right in this world. This creature has not injured or killed anybody at the lake. Just because it showed "Hostility" towards the little girl doesn't mean it was going to harm her. We do not know if this animal was simply trying to protect its own turf. If the US government goes in there and harms this animal, there will be a public out cry that we've never heard before.

With current policy, we would never even know if they did it. First they isolate it and then they deny its existence. How will the public find out? My point is that we need to pressure the people who know, to disclose its existence. So that we as the public can protect it. Otherwise they will have to kill it because they can't keep people out of there. They don't have the man power. What will they do post a guard? too many people know already. Its too late.

I phoned the Powers Ranger Station today to get a since of what is the true driving force behind the closure of Sru Lake. The manager of that district told me there has been a ongoing problem up there and he does not want to discuss specifics about it. He said the lake has experienced several different kinds of vandalism and would not talk about what they do or do not know.When I ask him if they think it bigfoot related he quickly denied it saying there is absolutely no indication that it is anything other than your run of the mill vandals. He also said he would not talk about a mythological creature being responsible for damage. The lake was had water problems along with damage from unknown people. The lake itself is only 300 ft by 600 ft. With budget cuts, it makes sense to close the areas that do not preform as a good revenue makers. He did say Sru lake is closed.
Sru lake is not now and never has been closed, there are no gates or anything to keep people out, I just had someone tell me it is clear to Sru Lake so you can get there now. In fact every winter the area is not accessible due to snow but it is never closed. Last year we took our dog up there in August and noticed a blue/green alge and reported it after that there were signs posted warning folks to stay out of the water along with animals etc it came directly from the Oregon Health Dept. along with many other lakes in Oregon. As soon as the rain started and the lake cleared another test was done and the signes were taken down, again it was never closed. In 2008 a family reported a strange man at Sru lake was watching their little girl, it was reported as a pervert, he could have been a big harry man to the little girl or her family but certainly it was not reported as a bigfoot sighting. I have lived in Powers for more than 24 years and until I read this blog I had no idea that Sru Lake was seen as a bigfoot sight, I have worked for the Forest Service for more than 13years and still I have not heard of any of this until now. It was a big suprise to the Forest Service employees who have been here for over 20 years to read this also. Is amazing how you can work and live in an area for many years and no nothing about this until you read about people who have stories to tell about our Forest.
