How to unlock the Six Years In The Making achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement you need to start the mission The Start of the Conservation Movement in Tanners Reach (Tall Trees, marked with a question mark). A crazy man will give you a circle on your map that tells you where to find one of these creatures. Shoot it a couple of times and you have yourself an achievement.
If you want to know what to look for the creatures are large and fairly ape-like.
This achievement is a reference to GTA San Andreas released in 2004, 6 years before Red Dead Redemption. There was a rumor that there was a sasquatch somewhere in the desert but of course there was no sasquatch to be found.
Update: The achievement has had trouble unlocking for people but the website shows many recent winners so the achievement is likely fixed. See the comments for any new developments.

I remember the sasquatch myth developing more through the trolling of fans rather than Rockstar.

Sasquatches can be found in the Tall Trees area after starting the side mission called "Birth of the Conservation Movement" where you will be tasked with killing 6 Sasquatches. Go to the Tall Trees area of the map and enter the spot that is marked by a green question mark, which will then change to a large green circle if a Sasquatch is nearby. These creatures will usually run away from you but at least one shot close range will kill him and pop the trophy.
You don't have to kill all 6 Sasquatches, since you will be given the option to either kill or ignore the final one.
