They say they have a cast of a footprint 5 inches wide and 15 inches long.
A group of Bigfoot hunters claim to have found footprints and heard calls of the legendary creature in Oklahoma.
About 30 people spent Memorial Day weekend on a Bigfoot hunt in the Kiamichi Mountains in the southeastern part of the state, the Tulsa World reports. They say they have a cast of a footprint 5 inches wide and 15 inches long.
"The toes were clearly visible on the cast after it was lifted up," said D.W. Lee, director of the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center.
Bigfoot or Sasquatch is described as a large human-like creature. While sightings are most frequent along the Pacific Coast, especially in California and Washington, reports have come in from Pennsylvania, New York, Florida and many other states and several Canadian provinces.
Lee described Bigfoot "vocalizations" as imitation bird calls, including whippoorwills and owls, the newspaper reported. He said one searcher was hit by a rock just after someone had spotted two large animals.
Over many decades, Bigfoot hunters have failed to come up with evidence to convince non-believers.
I thought Janet Reno was migratory.
I’m sure there are several folks who have had this size foot.
I thought hillary was barefoot in cairo?
My foot is 3 1/2 “ by 9”....and I’m female...size 7 shoes so that doesn’t impress me as hugh and series..
Obama’s foot is at least that big.
“Listen! Hear that bird? That’s Bigfoot doing a bird impression.”
“Or maybe it’s Rich Little.”
Are you Peggy Hill?
In related news, Ron Perlman wishes these bigfoot hunters would quit following him around.
Obama’s foot is at least that big.
somebody pulled it out of his mouth long enough to measure?
Who’s Peggy Hill??
Bigfootville.
Thanks for posting that!! Oh My!!
Specific habitat? Fur? Hair? Offspring? Skeletal remains? DNA? Unretouched photos? Sufficient food sources to support large mammal? Omnivore? Carnivore? Herbivore? Actual specimen? Stop with the faked footprints! Enough of this nonsense.
How exciting for Bigfoot hunters to find just what they were looking for. Even more excitement was probably had by those in their hunting party that made the impression and led their gullible friends to it. IOW, fun was had by all!
All I've got to add is this...
But was Shaq walking around barefoot in these parts?
In Oklahoma?!! This time of year?
I thought Janet Reno was migratory.
Well said!
I’ll only believe in Bigfoot when the dang thing is doing the “hokey-pokey” on my front yard!
And it’s made of carbon!

Bigfoot and Chubracabra are both pets that the space aliens brought with them which escaped into the wild. Everyone knows that...duh!
(btw, this is an actual published theory)

I didn’t know my brother was in Oklahoma.
While I remain a skeptic about Sasquatch and think that your other concerns are valid, the food issue is not. Bigfoot researchers claim that there are probably 4-6 thousand of the 800-pound Sasquatch spread between Alaska and Florida. That would mean Sasquatch weight about as much as a Shiras moose, the smallest of the moose species. Assume Sasquatch are herbivores (like the large apes) and eat about as much as a moose. Are enough food resources in the thousands and thousands of square miles we are talking about to support 4-6 thousand more moose? Of course, there is.
Thanks for the ping.
;’)
Kiamichi Mountains ?? Is that part of the Ouachita Mtns?
“Lee described Bigfoot “vocalizations” as imitation bird calls, including whippoorwills and owls,”
This line has me rolling on the floor laughing.
I can here it now......
Mel, did you here that?
Yea, Hank. Sounds like a bluejay.
No, its Bigfoot, he can mimic bird sounds.
Oh!
Are these Bigfoot researchers or these guys?

Harry and the Hendersons! That movie was a hoot!
Them, and dozens of other people.
I've heard that they are protected in some states. Would the fine for killing one and bringing it in be be offset by the mega-bucks it would be worth? YOU BET!
Would I be O.K. with killing it? No.
Why is it always a footprint? Why not a handprint? Or a buttocks print?.
Is it just because it is named Bigfoot.
“Are enough food resources in the thousands and thousands of square miles we are talking about to support 4-6 thousand more moose? Of course, there is. “
I don’t think there are enough food resources in Oklahoma.
“Do Bigfoot (Shouldn’t the plural be ‘bigfeet?’) Have a Language?”
What a hoot.

I know people who claim to have seen weird stuff. Hell, I’ve seen weird stuff. Still, bigfeet and UFOs just strain credulity beyond the breaking point.
But I certainly see a large, North American Ape being a possibility.
One of my favorite naturalist and explorers, William Bartram, talked about seeing two Apes in the 1770’s in Florida.
It just seems unlikely in the extreme that such an animal could have avoided detection until this late date.
“They say they have a cast of a footprint 5 inches wide and 15 inches long.
Roughly equivalent to an average NBA player.
There was the Skookum cast that the BFRO people made, but I'm about 85% sure it was an elk lying down that made the impression in the mud. Ive camp and hike in the Skookum meadow area and the place is loaded with elk. And I've seen someone do a virtual model of an elk haying down in the same spot and he fit the cast like a glove. I do think there is a good possibility Bigfoot exist, but I'm not sold on that Skookum cast, and I look at all evidence with an objective mind.
Given the population densities which the Sasquatch researchers are hypothesizing, there are probably no more than 3-4 dozen Sasquatch in Oklahoma. They aren't talking about thousands of Sasquatch in Oklahoma. IIRC, the Sasquatch researchers hypothesize a total population of less than 10,000 spread from Alaska to Florida with the bulk of the population in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest states.
Three or four dozen Sasquatch probably wouldn't require more food resources than a couple of hundred more feral hogs. Lord knows Oklahoma already has enough feral hogs and I think most people would agree that the resources are there to unfortunately support even more.
As an Oklahoma, I offer my apologizes to all the world for this continued FARCE. What an embarrassment!!!!!
