Oklahoma’s bounty on Bigfoot has grown to nearly $2.1 million mere weeks after a state lawmaker proposed a controversial bill to allow capturing of the mythical creature.
State Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, said it doesn’t matter that his legislative measure never made it out of committee. It did exactly what he intended it to do — promote interest and tourism in his heavily wooded district in Southeast Oklahoma that reportedly boasts the ninth most sightings in the world of the legendary ape-like creature.
Humphrey said he initially thought he’d have to go through the state wildlife department to issue hunting licenses for Bigfoot, but quickly discovered the state tourism department can issue tracking permits since the intent is not to kill or injure the elusive beast.
Now he’s working with state tourism officials to set up rules for Bigfoot enthusiasts who want to participate in Oklahoma’s “Sasquatch Quest.”
The No. 1 rule — Sasquatchers must capture Bigfoot unharmed and can’t injure anyone else or break any laws in the process.
“We’ve got to get some language, make sure that we protect Bigfoot and that we protect the public (so) that nobody is injured,” he said.
Humphrey’s original plan suggested lawmakers set aside a $25,000 bounty for Bigfoot’s capture, but he said an upcoming Hollywood Bigfoot movie pledged around $2 million, while another private business promised an additional $100,000. That eliminated any need for state funding.
He said state tourism officials now are developing a Bigfoot promotional campaign that includes license plates, decals, an annual commemorative tracking license and “Bigfoot checkout stations.” He said they’re also working on a map of the region to show visitors the best route to take to spot Bigfoot while promoting nearby businesses at the same time.

It’s bs.
Jack Links & beer?
At Collections,etc. they have a Bigfoot Research Kit that I had already planned to get for one of my grandsons for Christmas, he’s 8. This is just too funny.
"I'm standing here with a local resident named Sam who was hiking through these woods four years ago when he saw a Sasquatch walk by this tree right here. Based on this information, we are going to camp at this one particular spot for one night in this 300,000 acre forest in the hope that Bigfoot will walk by again."
Just someone’s hairy uncle.

Shoot it Lisbeth!
Before any of you go into the woods, just make sure you file down the sights on your gun barrel. That way it wont hurt as much when bigfoot shoves it up your butt.
😆
Some huntera claim to have had bigfoot in their gun sights, but they couldnt pull the trigger because it looked too human.
“She cannot walk a flight of steps, Gus. Bet she’d climb the .... out of tree, can’t she Gus?”
“Here she is! Where’s my money?“
You mean “here IT is”
