If I had experienced a Bigfoot encounter, there's no way I would tell anybody. If I did, I would say it was probably just a bear.
Les Stroud does not believe in Sasquatch. That two part show was just for entertainment. However, as he said, there is a possibility, that we haven't discovered every animal on this planet. It's very much like with deep sea creatures. For city-people it's impossible to understand, how huge areas of the globe are essentially uninhabited. Think about siberia, there could be anything, like Neanderthals for example. If they are smart enought, they could easily avoid people for centuries. In rare cases they can't, well, there are all those stories. Think about it, if you were a russian living in siberia and you saw the bigfoot, how would your story ever be heard by western media/investigators. Most likely you would respect the creature and let it live.
