Whether or not you believe in Bigfoot, we can all agree that this sounds insane. But Oklahoma House representative Justin Humphrey’s district is a part of the Ouachita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma. They have a Bigfoot festival each year near the Arkansas border and he believes a state issued hunting license and tag could help boost tourism. Humphrey’s bill would allow trapping and what he hopes to secure, $25,000 to be offered as a bounty. While it may seem obvious that Bigfoot does not exist, the spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Wild Life Conservation (they oversee hunting in Oklahoma) did come out to state that their agency uses science-driven research. Meaning they do not think Bigfoot is real. Do you?
