It’s [legal to hunt bigfoot](http://www.loweringthebar.net/2012/05/bigfoot-fair-game.html) in Texas. (But not, apparently, in Skamania County, Washington.) Just in case you’re out that way. ---

So, what are you guys doing this weekend, because I think I just found my plans. ---

The Skamania County protection is just a tourist thing related to the Ape Cave on one side of Mt St. Helens. The Ape Cave is an old lava tube and was named after a local boy scout group, not Bigfoot. [http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/apecave.htm](http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/apecave.htm) This name origin is sometimes confused with an early report of a Bigfoot attack on some miners (probably drunk) on the other side of the mountain in Ape Canyon. [http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/apecave.htm](http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/apecave.htm) The Ape Cave is a great hike if you are in the area. Just the trip up there is awesome. But you are more likely to run into a family from Omaha than a sasquatch. ---

You stand there looking cute And when something moves, You shoot. I’m not worried about the OP, though. Bigfoot is way too smart to live in Texas. Some sheriff would probably bust him for being an illegal immigrant, since he doesn’t look Texan. Or at best, a resident of Austin. ---

It would have been officially illegal to hunt Bigfoot in Canada if some guy’d had his way a few years ago. He tried to get the Sasquatch declared an endangered species.:smack: I was hoping he’d fail so I wouldn’t have to dispose of all the trophy Bigfoots hanging on my wall. ---

Johnny Carson once said “Sasquatch is the sound Bigfoot makes when he steps on a Winnebago”.
