The Noreen BN36 .30-06 AR Pattern Rifle<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Many who face off against the Sasquatch swear by the stopping power of the big bore rifle. The bigger the bore, the better, they claim. This is an especially good strategy for those who hunt Sasquatch from a distance, though this is the least productive hunting method. For me, bolt actions are nonstarters, unless required by law (Massachusetts\u2014shame on you!). Instead, I suggest the repeatability of the AR pattern rifles, and no one knows big bore ARs like Noreen. They even make one is .338 Lapua.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25471\" style=\"width: 1030px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bkg_middle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-5-guns-hunting-sasquatch\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25471\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\" class=\"wp-image-25471 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bkg_middle.jpg\" alt=\"bkg_middle\" width=\"1020\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bkg_middle.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bkg_middle-150x51.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bkg_middle-400x138.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Long range and hard hitting, the BN36 is a must for open range Sasquatch hunts.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I suggest the stalk hunt in heavy cover. Many Sasquatch stalkers trust the .308, but I say take it further. Look to the .30-06 AR platform rifles. The increase in power over the .308 will give you the edge, and the fast action of the AR platform allows for consistent followup shots without the hassle of cycling a bolt by hand.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_25470\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Saiga_12_shotgun.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-5-guns-hunting-sasquatch\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25470\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\" class=\"wp-image-25470 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Saiga_12_shotgun-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"The compact size of a short barreled Saiga 12 is great for the close quarters of the swamp.\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Saiga_12_shotgun-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Saiga_12_shotgun-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Saiga_12_shotgun.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The compact size of a short barreled Saiga 12 is great for the close quarters of the swamp.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><a title=\"Saiga 12\" href=\"https:\/\/www.k-var.com\/shop\/Saiga-12-gauge-Shotguns\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-5-guns-hunting-sasquatch\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2. The Saiga 12<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Louisiana allows Sasquatch hunting with dogs. While the swamps of the Sportsman&#8217;s Paradise can pose significant hazards for hunters and hounds, dog hunting is a great way to run down and tire out a Sasquatch (though I wouldn\u2019t take your favorite dogs). Do they make disposable dogs? If they do, take those.<\/p>\n<p>For this sort of hunt, I recommend serious firepower. The Sasquatch may burst from cover at close range. A shotgun is the obvious choice, but not just any old scatter-gun. I\u2019m leaning on our Russian friends\u2019 expertise and suggesting the Saiga 12. Shorten the barrel, tune the gas system, and pick up a solid, working drum mag. Alternate shot to approximate the old buck-and-ball side-by-side school of shotgunnery. One round of 00 buck followed closely by a slug. The first will stun a Squatch, the second may finish him off. This is the way the Chinese have chosen to handle the Yeti they frequently encounter in Tibetan Highlands.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_25481\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/glock1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-5-guns-hunting-sasquatch\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25481\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\" class=\"wp-image-25481 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/glock1-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Don't let its mild plastic exterior fool you.

GLOCK 20<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t ever go on a hunt, anywhere, without a backup gun. Many Sasquatch hunters are seduced by the big bore revolvers. I\u2019m more concerned with capacity. If there are no limitations on how you hunt, pick up a GLOCK 20. The gun offers incredible stopping power, better-than-revolver-capacity, and fast magazine changes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a long-time devotee of the 20. While some folks have a hard time holding down the wicked muzzle flip, I say bring it on. The .40 S&amp;W wants to be a 10mm when it grows up. If all my guns were on a football team, this dude would be in the offensive line. Nothing defensive about this gun&#8211;it may be all that stands between you and 600 pounds of furry bipedal fury.

The Colt Walker<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Very few states have limits on Sasquatch, but the actual restrictions on <em>how<\/em> you hunt can be intense. Arkansas, for example, considers Sasquatch vermin and allows sportsmen unlimited opportunities for bagging the big ugly beasts. New York State, despite its long sporting history, limits the way you can hunt Sasquatch (Damn the SAFE Act!). They want to give ol&#8217; Bigfoot a sporting chance.<\/p>\n<p>Black powder is the only way. While we would normally suggest one of the new in-line muzzleloaders for whitetail, one shot may not be enough. Here, we\u2019re going with the Sasquatch of black powder pistols, the Colt Walker. The Walker is capable of delivering six rounds of .457\u2014147 grains each, reasonably fast. The rounds leave the muzzle around 1,450 FPS. Uberti makes a good reproduction of the Walker, and it is ideal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25468\" style=\"width: 176px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Battle_Droid.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-5-guns-hunting-sasquatch\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25468\" title=\"The Top 5 Guns for Hunting Sasquatch\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Battle_Droid-166x300.png\" alt=\"And we thought drones were a new invention.

E-5 Blaster Rifle<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>While the furry hordes that stalk our imaginations can prove insanely difficult to actually find, these creatures were once numerous.
