“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”
The Bigfoot Hunting Season is set to start on November 1 this year if the bill to capture him is passed, but it will only allow for trapping. A $25,000 bounty is set to be rewarded for the first person to capture the creature.
“Having a license and a tag would give people a way to prove they participated in the hunt,” Humphrey said. “Again, the overall goal is to get people to our area to enjoy the natural beauty and to have a great time, and if they find Bigfoot while they’re at it, well hey, that’s just an even bigger prize.”
