Actually, I feel I can successfully pick off most of your points quite easily:
1: Bigfoot is not in the fossil record?
Ever hear of Gigantopithecus? Many serious researchers believe that this is exactly what Sasquatch/Bigfoot is. It is established in the fossil record,
and fits the eyewitness/photographic/video evidence quite nicely,
Here's more info:

www.bfro.net...
Gigantopithecus is established scientific fact by the way.
2: Population levels? We really have no way of knowing. It's pure speculation.
3: Hunters & Wilderness?
There are vast areas of wilderness available for these animals - most of it north of the US border in Canada and of course in Alaska. BC alone is
bigger than Western Europe and largely uninhabited wilderness. Alaska is a fair sized place too. Hunters? Many hunters have actually reported having
BFs in their sights and scopes - but have either been too scared to shoot, too shocked by it's appearance to shoot, or have shot - but merely enraged
it by doing so...
4: Sightings (video).
Check out the Patterson footage - still the best and it has never been successfully debunked. I think there are several other amazing videos out there
that remain un-debunked after, in some cases, many decades of attempts.
5: Wilderness?
I think we've already covered this.
6: Bones?
Admittedly nothing yet - unless you count the Gigantopithcus bones. Still, experiments have been done on wildlife carcasses in the wilderness
that prove beyond doubt that predator action, insects, and weather tend to remove nearly all remains in a matter of days.
7: Bigfoot has no predators.
Grizzly have been actually observed n Alaska fleeing from BF encounters for their lives. Even a Grizzly knows when it's time to move on.
8: Food Supply?
Researchers and scientists have come to the conclusion that the Pacific Northwest (where most sightings predominately occur) has easily enough
natural food resources to sustain a population of large omnivores inc. shell fish, berries, deer, fish, roots, insects etc etc.
9: Lifespan.
I'm not really sure what your point here is exactly?
There you go. I think I've covered all your points as scientifically as the evidence is capable of. Which I think is actually far more scientific in
many ways than your original points.
