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.

The bill states that the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission would be the ones setting rules to establish the hunting season, and create special licenses for hunters. As fake as it sounds, this bill real and official, but has yet to become an act or law. If it does by some miracle get passed, the act will take effect on November 1st, 2021.
For reference, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission does not recognize Bigfoot as an official species living in the state. When it comes to sightings of the rare forest creature Oklahoma ranked 9th overall for the most sightings in America, which boiled down to about 2.6 sightings per capita. Is that enough to justify a hunting season?

Hello and welcome to season 2 of 2020 2.0. Remember when we all freaked out in October when the Texas Bigfoot Conference dropped by Jefferson, Texas? It was no surprise when Jefferson opened their doors to Bigfoot believers since the town is widely known as the Bigfoot Capital of the Lone Star State.
The Ark-La-Tex loves Bigfoot that s for sure but do we love Bigfoot as much as southeast Oklahoma? I mean we don t have an annual Bigfoot festival here. We should definitely step up our game.
