Oklahoma Senator Introduces Big Foot Hunting Season Bill

Representative Justin Humphrey (R) introduced House Bill 1648 to establish a "big foot hunting season" in Oklahoma.

The bill states:

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

And, yes, it is a real bill. Micah Holmes, Assistant Chief of the Information and Education Division at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, confirmed as much, though he went on the record to say:

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

If the bill passes, it will take effect on November 1st, 2021.
