According to BFRO's Matt Pruitt, the discovery of Bigfoot has already happened

(BFRO Investigator)

BFRO Investigator Matt Pruitt has a good article about the discovery of Bigfoot and how the species was discovered a long time ago by North American natives. Before elaborating, Pruitt provided a definition of the word "discover":

dis·cov·er
–verb (used with object)
1. to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find, or find out; gain sight or knowledge of (something previously unseen or unknown)
2. to notice or realize
3. Archaic . to make known; reveal; disclose.

Sasquatches, by the above definitions, have been "discovered".

Pruitt gave some examples of when the discovery was made, starting with the North American natives to the current state of Bigfoot related evidence:

• Indigenous North American People Describe Sasquatches
• Early Settlers (Pre-1900) Describe Sasquatches
• Observations and Encounters Continue into Modern Times
• The Current State of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch Related Data and Evidence

According to Pruitt, the examples above suggests that the only people left who still refuse to recognize the existence of Bigfoot are mainstream scientists:

Sasquatches are a species of mammal that has been described and encountered by people living on this continent, from as far back in time as we can look, right up to modern day. They have been seen, heard, smelled, tracked, pursued, filmed, and photographed. In essence, they have been discovered.

While mainstream science has yet to recognize the sasquatch as an extant species, many amateur scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts continue to stand at the vanguard of science working to collect data and evidence, and experiencing varying degrees of their own personal "discovery".

In my opinion (and in the opinion of many others), discovery has already happened.
