Jan. 22 (UPI) -
- An Oklahoma state representa- tive introduced a bill that would establish a hunt- ing season for one of the state's most infamous species of alleged native wildlife: Bigfoot.
Rep. Justin Humphrey, R- District 19, intro- duced a bill to the state legislature that would call on
the Oklahoma Wildlife Commission to designate a Bigfoot hunting season.
The mythical ape has been the subject of numer- ous sightings in southern Oklahoma for years, and the region hosts an annual Bigfoot festival for fans of the cryptid.
"The Oklahoma Wildlife
Conservation Commission shall promulgate rules establishing a Bigfoot hunting season. The Commission shall set annual sea- son dates and create any neces- sary specific hunting licenses and fees," the bill states.
The bill, if passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, would take effect Nov. 1.
