Now come on guys, be nice to the nice hunters of extraordinary things.

We have hunters like that down here as well.
They hunt for -
Thylacines (Tasmanian Tigers) - last positive siting of this now extinct species was in the 1930's, but people still hunt for them.
Tasmanian Foxes - the government here has set up a task force and spent millions over the last 5 years, to eradicate foxes - Score to date - Foxes = zero, Proven fox scat = zero, loss of domestic animals to foxes = zero. Still the stupid Government pay the hunters each year to go hunt again.

Mind you the same people also hunt for, and have more success with -
Rocking Horse poop.
Unicorn horns.
Gnome nuts.
and little green men.

On the other hand, there are some very obvious and legitimate reasons why such proof may be withheld from the general populace, two of those reasons being preservation of different sorts. It's not hard to imagine how video or photographic proof would result in every yahoo for hundreds of miles with a 4x4, an automatic firearm, a case of beer, and something to prove would show up looking to shoot first and ask questions later regarding something they didn't understand, could possibly make money from, or that could get them on tv.

The other being from the land owners themselves who wouldn't want the information to get out because they might not be real enthused about the prospect of having their land suddenly overrun by every yahoo for hundreds of miles with.....aka..... Skippy get's even
