There’s hunting season, and then there’s Bigfoot hunting season.

An Oklahoma lawmaker has pitched a bill to create a bona fide Bigfoot hunting season in the Sooner State.

On Wednesday, Rep. Justin Humphrey (R) introduced House Bill 1648, urging the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission (OWCC) to establish a "big foot hunting season.".

"The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission shall promulgate rules establishing a big foot hunting season," the bill states. "The Commission shall set annual season dates and create any necessary specific hunting licenses and fees."

"It is a real bill, yes," Micah Holmes, Assistant Chief of the Information and Education Division at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation confirmed to Fox News on Thursday.

Real or not, there may be a lack of support from the Department of Wildlife Conservation.

"Here at the department, we use science to make management decisions, and we do not recognize Bigfoot as a wildlife species in Oklahoma," said Holmes.


If passed, the act would take effect on Nov. 1, 2021. Before that can happen, however, the Oklahoma Legislature will meet on Feb. 1. (iStock)

If it is indeed passed, the act would take effect on Nov. 1, 2021. Before that can happen, however, the Oklahoma Legislature will meet on Feb. 1.

Humphrey represents House District 19, a southeastern area of Oklahoma famous for its Bigfoot sightings, according to Fox 25. In nearby Honobia, fans of lore and legend even celebrate the mythical creature with an official Bigfoot Festival and Conference, which was canceled in 2020 due to coronavirus concerns.

A representative for Rep. Humphreys' office was not immediately available to comment on the bill as presented.


For those on Sasquatch watch, Bigfoot has also been spotted in North Carolina, Georgia, Washington and Oregon in recent years.

Honobia is near where some of the Choctaw nation
had some of their ( soldiers- militia men- police?)
murdered and mutilated by bigfoots. They discovered
a mound of human remains and buried them

I wonder if the Bigfoot tags will be residents only, or can I apply for one??
And I wonder if there’ll be firearm restrictions??
I’d like to use Nancy’s 10-22.

I know for a fact there are many Big Feet's in Portland, Or. They are commonly referred to as (The Portland Trailblazers). Boy!.... Do they have big feet.

I seem to recall that Oregon made bigfoot a protected endangered species many years ago.  The thinking at the time if it really exists, there can't be too many of them so we shouldn't be shooting them.  That's about as useful as the Oregon legislature gets, they might as well add unicorns to the list...

Have to wonder how many people will be shot by nut cases that claim they were shooting bigfoot.

More money for the State. I think HONOBIA is where the MABRC holds their yearly moneymaking hoax. MID AMERICA BIGFOOT RESEARCH CENTER.  I used to belong but a puter crash knocked me out. I used to love the stories, had some really good fiction writers.  CHARLIE.

Hope this doesn't upset too many here but in Arizona I kinda wish they would put a season on " Snowbirds". All these old codgers mostly democrats from Minnesota and the likes. About as bad as the liberals from California, Oregon, and Washington.

You guys are welcome to our old lesbian governor too if ya want her, I don't.

[DDZ]

As long as you guys are giving governors away, anyone is welcome to Marxist Tom Wolf and his transvestite health secretary.  I even think tom has a thing for Rachael. So you have to take them as a set.

You are also welcome to Tim Walz,  super soldier who retired immediately when his Minnesota national guard unit was called to duty in Iraq.  F him!
