When humans can discover fossil evidence of hundreds of species that died out millions of years ago, wouldn't a single dead bigfoot show up somewhere, sometime by now?

One would think but how many dinosaurs have been discovered/unearthed in current thick forested areas?
If buried, or just dying on moist fertile soil, skeletons can complete dissolve/disintegrate in 20yrs or less.
After skeletonization, if scavenging animals do not destroy or remove the bones, acids in many fertile soils take about 20 years to completely dissolve the skeleton of mid- to large-size mammals, such as humans, leaving no trace of the organism.
One for the global warming zealots too.
More than 100 different species of dinosaurs have been found in Canada. Almost half of these were collected from Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. During the Cretaceous period, Alberta was much warmer than it is today. Rich plant life supported herbaceous dinosaurs, which in turn supported carnivorous dinosaurs.
