I am surprised he’s not on the endangered species list.
Keep your powder dry..
IIRC, the state of Washington made it illegal to kill a Sasquatch, if they exist. Some legislators argued that they didn't believe in Sasquatch but they didn't want bounty hunters with high-powered rifles firing at man-like shapes in poor visibility conditions. Actually, seems pretty prudent to me.
This interpretation of the statute doesn't surprise me from what I knew about Texas game laws. Once again, going from memory, I remember a number of years back someone shot a monster bull elk out in West Texas but it couldn't get listed in the Boone and Crockett Record Book because there were no regulations on hunting elk there and hence, it didn't qualify as a "fair chase" hunt in the eyes of B&C Club.
