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. 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.

Oh yeah, but I was thinking about the mythical ones.
Like you I would respectfully listen to her but what convinces her doesn't necessarily have to convince me. The type of observation that would convince me is from someone who has credibility in their statements (which your friend seems to have) and also the ability to accurately interpret what they observed. That's why the ones who would convince me needed both character and outdoors experience.
I have a friend whom I have been convincing that the stories she tells would make great multimillion dollar tv series. So in the last few years she has been recording what happens to her.
The thing is, she conveniently forgets to record when the blue light comes down from Heaven and delivers her a message.
Weird, huh?
I never understood how a mythical bird story could survive in the face of a real bird story.
Yes. Several reports of sasquatch have reported unusual lights with the sightings, though.
If a friend wants to share with me, I'm willing to listen. I figure that is my duty as a friend but I'm under no obligation to believe it, although I would keep my unbelief to myself.
Maybe someone just highjacked the name of something that might not be commonly known and, and not likely to be known by the target of the prank. In the prank, a snipe does not necessarily have to be a bird.
Soon after we had moved there, the kids began to beg to go and finally, on a warm summer night we agreed to drive them around in that area. These kids loved to be scared and I was not going to disappoint them. In an older sedan, normal looking couple, and two kids ages, 13 and 11, and small fluffy dog, we are armed with a map we had purchased. Driving around about sunset (prime time) we encounter other families, their faces pressed to the windows too.
I reminisced about all the storied we had ever heard of how the glowing light gets into your car and starts a fire. We passed a block building in the middle of a field with no road leading to it. Big sign said: Spook Light Museum. The roads are properly designated, Scary Lane, Spook light Way, local restuarants had some reference on the menu.
The sun began to set and the crowded dirt roads began to thin. We came to a culvert going under our path with water on both sides. I rolled down the window as my husband stopped in the middle of the road.
“Smell That!”, I shouted to the kids in the back seat. Well, it's not glowing tonight, but that's it!! Probably too many people out here for it to glow and burn a hole in our seats, but That's It!! There was a rotting vegetation odor in the air.
I looked back at two kids with their hair standing on their heads. They had squeezed the dog so tight that he was up in the front with us.
We had not gone much farther down the road when one properly scared little girl thought that we should head for home.
Mission accomplished.
