John Lloyd Scharf got a response from the Texas Wildlife officials about killing Bigfoot:
Mr. Scharf:
The statute that you cite (Section 61.021) refers only to game birds, game animals, fish, marine animals or other aquatic life. Generally speaking, other nongame wildlife is listed in Chapter 67 (nongame and threatened species) and Chapter 68 (nongame endangered species). “Nongame” means those species of vertebrate and invertebrate wildlife indigenous to Texas that are not classified as game animals, game birds, game fish, fur-bearing animals, endangered species, alligators, marine penaeid shrimp, or oysters. The Parks and Wildlife Commission may adopt regulations to allow a person to take, possess, buy, sell, transport, import, export or propagate nongame wildlife. If the Commission does not specifically list an indigenous, nongame species, then the species is considered non-protected nongame wildlife, e.g., coyote, bobcat, mountain lion, cotton-tailed rabbit, etc. A non-protected nongame animal may be hunted on private property with landowner consent by any means, at any time and there is no bag limit or possession limit.
An exotic animal is an animal that is non-indigenous to Texas. Unless the exotic is an endangered species then exotics may be hunted on private property with landowner consent. A hunting license is required. This does not include the dangerous wild animals that have been held in captivity and released for the purpose of hunting, which is commonly referred to as a “canned hunt”.
If you have any questions, please contact Assistant Chief Scott Vaca. I have included his e-mail address. I will be out of the office and in Houston on Friday.
Best,

Got him!ping
Do idiots in Big Foot costumes count?
I would think it should be considered an invasive species.......and if it should happen to speak Spanish then that's another whole set of problems.
What could possibly go wrong?
Is a Wookie a close relative of Bigfoot?
I am surprised he’s not on the endangered species list.
It’s probably legal to turn lead into gold too and a lot easier than shooting Big Foot.
In related news, Discovery channel is running back to back “Finding Bigfoot” episodes later today.
Evidently Discovery now is forced to fill the massive programming void they’re left with most weekends, from having fired Bear Grylls, now that Survivorman is also not in production.
(Bear Grylls: “Man vs Wild”)
May have been a blunder, on Discovery Channel’s part.
“It’s Officially Legal To Kill Bigfoot In Texas”
There’s a problem with this - he’s been dead over a hundred years.

Shouldn’t it be that it’s legal to kill bigfeet?
Or are we only allowed to bag one of them?

We're good to go! (((ping))) LOL!
