US brewer offers $1m Bigfoot reward
US brewer Olympia Beer is offering US $1 million for “the safe return of “Bigfoot”. The year-long contest has started in “an effort to highlight the proud histories of both Bigfoot and Olympia Beer in the [US] Northwest”.
The grand prize of $1m, will be paid to any person who finds “irrefutable evidence” of Bigfoot’s existence in compliance with the contest’s official rules.
The brewer has joined forces with Bigfoot experts at The Falcon Project for the contest, which promises to be one of the most comprehensive searches for the mysterious beast.
Evan and Daren Metropoulos, owners of Pabst Brewing Company and Olympia Beer, said: “We have been operating in the Northwest since 1896, so we know firsthand how important Bigfoot is to the people here.
“In addition to our desire to spur scientific discovery in partnership with The Falcon Project, we’re also simply encouraging people to get outside and have some fun.”
On its website the brewer emphasises that the contest is focused on the safe capture of Bigfoot, it states: “When we say safe capture that means Bigfoot has to be alive and breathing folks, with no wounds. That’s right you can’t use any act of violence, no guns/knives/boxing gloves/nets/etc, only sugar or sweets to lure him in.”
The contest rules state that Bigfoot “refers to a previously undiscovered species of upright, bipedal hominid, native to North America existing contemporaneously with the Contest Period or the twenty-five (25) year period immediately prior to the Contest Period.”
In terms of evidence the judging panel said: “Evidence may include, but is not limited to DNA Evidence. DNA Evidence may include hair, blood, tissue or saliva that proves the DNA sequence of the donor shows that said donor resides in the primate evolutionary family tree, among other apes or hominids, but does not have the same genetic markers and DNA sequence as any known species.
“Evidence may also include ‘Visual Proof’ of a live physical body. Any photo or video taken with photographic or video equipment is not sufficient to qualify as evidence in and of itself for consideration in the contest, but may be considered as supporting evidence.”
The contest is running for one year, finishing at the end of March 2014 and the website states that the $1m reward will be payable at $25,000 per year for 40 years.
Awesome!
And to think ... the US Govt. could have foregone spending $6 million for a bionic man and instead have offered up six $1 M rewards for the capture of six Bigfoots. (snark)
I see one almost everyday. This beast keeps telling me to exercise but her fat ass says otherwise. Supposedly it’s mate has a first name which rhymes with buttcrack’.
Is that Lou Ferrigno on the left?
my younger brother better manscape really fast
That’s Andre the Giant
My old drinking buddy was married to her. We all called her Sasquatch. He should have hung onto her. It would be worth a fortune.
They are never going to catch bigfoot in the north west because he moved to Oklahoma! I saw it on the interweb and you know they can’t lie on the interweb!
Hey this is a good idea.
I like it. Have often wondered whether this is all just fluff, or whether it’s real.
One year. One million dollars. I think that’s enough to make a real difference.
For real.
If Bigfoot is real, we should know by this time next year. If not, well we should know by this time next year.
:D
Southern Oregon is home to what is most likely the only official Bigfoot trap in the world. The ten by ten structure was built back in the early 70s by special permit. A wildlife research team out of Eugene, Oregon was inspired to build the structure by sightings from far back as the late 18-hundreds to up to the time they constructed the trap.
It wasnt an early task. In 1974, Applegate dam that now impounds Applegate lake didnt even exist and the hike up to the construction site was a long and hard one from the valley below.
Fortunately today access to the trap is a relatively comfortable hike. The Collings Mountain Trail, is named for one of the pioneer mining families that came to Southern Oregon in the 1850s.
The Collings Mountain Trail (No. 943) is easy to spot just about 300 feet past the Hart-Tish Park entrance. The Bigfoot track on the trail marker on the right hand side of the road lets you know you are at the trailhead.
Do you think Hussein will turn in moochelle for the prize money?
It is always for your safety.
Bobo says “There’s a million dollar squatch in these woods.”
“photo...is not sufficient to qualify as evidence...”
So, I can’t just post a copy of a Bigfoot birth certificate?
It's in D.C. Where's my check?
“A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money.”
