A few years ago some fella claimed he had a Bigfoot carcass in a cooler and was goj g to reveal it if he could get a certain amount to money. Was all over the news. Folks were claiming gheir gov was gonna cover it up if it proved to be Bigfoot, etc. Turned out to be a hoax. The dude was a scam artist I guess. NOt saying coyote is scamming- jus recalling the incident yesrs ago that had the press all hyped up for a big reveal.
You just jogged my memory! I remember several magazines carrying articles in the 1960s and early 1970s on him and his frozen Bigfoot!
If I remember correctly, he was hunting and shot this “thing”. He then put it in a freezer, filled it with water and froze it.
Then he made the rounds at carnivals.
When he was supposed to finally reveal it, it was found to be a fake. Some said he faked that one but still had the “real creature” in another freezer somewhere.
Never heard anymore about it till now.
