t's official: The state of New York does not believe in Bigfoot.
The Department of Environmental Conservation has politely rejected a citizen’s call for the state to develop regulations banning the hunting of Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch.
“The simple truth of the matter is that there is no such animal anywhere in the world,” the agency’s chief wildlife biologist Gordon Batcheller wrote, responding to the request by Peter Wiemer, of upstate Maywood. “I am sorry to disappoint you.”
The official added, ‘No program or action in relation to mythical animals is warranted.”
The New York Bigfoot question began in July, when Wiemer, the creator of the Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo, officially requested protections for the creature.
In its initial response, the DEC said that Big Foot was not covered by its hunting regulations because the agency did not recognize Bigfoot’s existence.
But the agency went on to say that the absence of regulations would protect Bigfoot should one turn up.
“Because it is not addressed, there is no open season on Bigfoot and they may not be taken,” a regional wildflife manager wrote, seemingly tongue in cheek.

And yet, if an upstater were to shoot and kill one, they would invent a reason to throw them in jail...
But, I’ve seen his relative, John Kerry!
Well, that settles it .... an official gubmint bureaucrat has ruled on the subject.
Gee golly, Gordo......how's it feel to be omniscient?
What a pompous douche bag.
Should have asked for a TAX on Bigfoot hunters. The State would have been all over that.
Bo Bo will be unhappy. I’ll bet that NY has a tax on Squach however.
LLS
for later
There's more anecdotal and circumstantial evidence to support the existence of Sasquatch than there is to support the existence of manmade global warming.
It took a whole eight posts?!?!? What in the world is happening to FR?
Oh ,No, they found out Bigfoot is a Republican
Somebody better tell Josh Gates!
They were waiting for ole Slyfox to chime in.
Tell that to Bobo!
He has squatched in upstate NY.
According to Bobo, anything this side of a squirrel is a “squatch”.
I think he’s character, though. That program is vastly more fun than most current sitcoms and reality shows and IMHO much better than crap like DWTS and American Idol.
