TN Dopers When Did We Do This?

I know Tennessee isn’t exactly seen as the most progressive states around (insert cousin joke here), but, apparently, we’ve just allowed Bigfoot season.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – It’s open season on Bigfoot! The population of the once-rare creatures has exploded so spectacularly in recent years that state officials in Tennessee have quietly authorized hunters to shoot them!
“We have to do something to trim their numbers,” confirms a Department of Fish and Wildlife official who asked not to be identified by name. "If we don’t, they’ll overrun the forest and start encroaching on inhabited areas.
“Already, these creatures have started to become pests in some rural parts of the state, raiding garbage bins, farmers’ cornfields and vegetable gardens.”
The season is set to begin June 15 and run to September 15, with hunting limited to the hours of 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The maximum number of kills per season is three for each hunter.

Any out-of-state Dopers who want to crash at my place while going after “the big one” are more than welcome.
