Bigfoot? Are You Kidding Me??
July 22nd, 2008
In my 35 years in the hunting business I have seen and heard about all sorts of crazy things. Remember wild turkey scent? But this Bigfoot Challenge thing just might be the craziest of them all.
Not that people haven’t caught some wild and bizarre images on their trail cameras, mind you. Cougars in the Midwest where the authorities swear to God there aren’t any. Albino deer. Heck, some people have even used them to catch burglars in their yards. But Bigfoot? Are you kidding me?
I mean, Bigfoot is a myth, right? One of those fantasies that rate right up there with the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. Right? Sounds like something you’d hear on one of those late night AM radio talk shows. I can see it now, George Noory on “Coast to Coast” booking in the Bushnell team to ask if anyone has a confirmed sighting of Bigfoot yet and if, perchance, they haven’t also got some good pictures of UFO’s in the process.
But I have to admit, that million dollar reward is sure enticing. I use trail cameras all the time, and just maybe this year I’ll have to put a couple in a secluded canyon near my brother’s house in northern California. That’s where Bigfoot is rumored to hang most of the time. I deer hunt there a lot, and I have seen some strange, unidentifiable things there on occasion.
The downside is, when I get that picture of Bigfoot and claim the reward, my best deer hunting spot will be toast. Which makes me wonder, would it be worth it, really? Would it be worth it to you?

Dear Bushnell,
OK, guys, fun is fun, but give us a break, Field & Stream and Bushnell. Thanks to your contest offering a million bucks to anyone who can get a photo of me or one of my family, the woods are crawling with people hanging those darned Trail Scout cameras all over the place. We’ve been able to hide out for years in the woods, but these trail cams have gotten so good that it’s getting really tougher. And my cousins in other parts of the country have emailed us saying the same thing.
We can’t even go for a stroll anymore. Now we know how all those Hollywood celebrities feel with the paparazzi always trying to get a photo. How would you like it if you couldn’t even step outside to get a breath of fresh air any more? Even the beef jerky guys are chasing us.
Tell you what, why don’t you just pay me the million bucks, and I’ll send you all the pictures of us that you want. Heck, for that kind of money, I’ll even send you a family photo from our vacation.
If you don’t cancel your contest, I’m canceling my subscription to your blog.
Sincerely,
B.F. Sasquatch

Bigfoot? Now THAT is something I’d like to catch on my camera. That and the whopper 10 that lives on my place …

I say if you catch Bigfoot on your trail camera, he’s already probably gotten to the 10-point you were trying to get a pic of and eaten it whole. Damn trespassers.

No I wouldn’t tell anyone if I got a picture of Bigfoot. If he or she exist’s, leave it alone.

Hello.

Bye.

Hello everyone. Bigfoot! Is he or she really out there? We have some evidence. Not to many photos. If Bigfoot has been so elusive so far, seems almost impossible to photograph them. We have Grassman in Ohio. Would be very tempting to get a bunch of trail cameras the catch Grassman on photos and win that million bucks. Would have to invite Grassman to dinner! Ha! Ha!

Brilliant marketing idea!
The guy that came up with that one should get a raise!
