OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A mythical, ape-like creature that has captured the imagination of adventurers for decades has now become the target of a state lawmaker in Oklahoma.

A Republican House member has introduced a bill that would create a Bigfoot hunting season. Rep. Justin Humphrey’s district includes the heavily forested Ouachita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma, where a Bigfoot festival is held each year near the Arkansas border. He says issuing a state hunting license and tag could help boost tourism.

“Establishing an actual hunting season and issuing licenses for people who want to hunt Bigfoot will just draw more people to our already beautiful part of the state,” Humphrey said in a statement.

 

Humphrey says his bill would only allow trapping and that he also hopes to secure $25,000 to be offered as a bounty.

Micah Holmes, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, which oversees hunting in Oklahoma, told television station KOCO that the agency uses science-driven research and doesn’t recognize Bigfoot.

The real fucking stupid is the 5000 okie’s that would apply for the license.

Even Bigfoot understands that OU sucks.

Very on brand for Oklahoma. That said, if I lived there I'd do it.

How long until some deer hunter in a ghillie suit gets killed?

Texas, given its size and land area, has over two times the amount of Bigfoot sightings, btw.

Where will Sooner fans find mates if all the Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) are killed off?

On second thought... I withdraw my question.

yeah, my first thought is who does he want to murder?

Okies licensed to set Bigfoot traps in the woods? What could go wrong?

Oklahoma Bigfoot are methy. Not sure you'd want to piss one off by shooting it.

That's a great clarification. The ones out here in Washington/Oregon are quite neat and organithed.

I hear they play well with suburbanites and are fairly easy to domesticate.

Not a good look to be mocking stupid Oklahomans while displaying your lack of knowledge of how to use an apostrophe.
