Howdy all,

I'm helping to organize a fun little "Bigfoot hunt" this coming weekend in Wisconsin at, where else, Bigfoot Beach State Park. We're just planning on having a little fun with the whole thing, and possibly making a "mockumentary" video that we could post to YouTube.

In addition, we were going to make it a kind of contest with prizes for those who come up with the best "evidence" for Bigfoot. What I wanted to ask you is this: do you have any advice for what would be decent primary evidence, secondary evidence, total b.s. evidence, etc?

Also, along these lines, do you have any good stories you could share that we might use to spice up our mockumentary? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Cheers - MM
 
An "almond joy" candy bar makes a great bigfoot scat substitute. Have someone take a bite, and say "yep...that's bigfoot poop"

You're wasting your time. Bigfoot isn't real.

Primary Evidence: Living Bigfoot. Body of a Bigfoot. Organ that could only come from a Bigfoot.

Secondary evidence: DNA sample.

BS Evidence: Footprints, hair that could be from any animal, audio recording, Eyewitnesses.
 
Here's an idea: Do the video as utterly seriously as possible. However, in the backround, have others doing various things. For example, putting on a bigfoot suit. Or making fake foot impressions. Make that part blatantly obvious. And have whomever the camera is following around be credulous to everything and everything. "Look, this leaf is bent and bruised on the underside! From this we can deduce that bigfoot is an extradimensional being with a love of mystique and frankfurters."
 
You might get some ideas if you can catch the Hollywood Film Festival, where "Bigfoot Election" is being shown:
About ‘The Bigfoot Election’: In this con-gone-wrong comedy, a boozy, disenchanted small-town deputy devises a Bigfoot hoax with his dimwitted sidekick to capture the attention – and the votes – of the townsfolk in a backwater sheriff’s election. Complications abound when the mayor enlists an alluring crypto zoologist to investigate and hires the hoaxers to guide her.

Sounds pretty true to life, actually...

You should try to find a real one. That'd spice it up for sure.
 
Be sure to include some invisible bigfoot footage.
 
I am just waiting for the day someone shoots a bigfoot... and finds a hoaxter inside.

Riddle me this, Batman - what would they charge the shooter with?

There are numerous Bigfooters that have said outright, that they would gladly shoot someone in a Bigfoot suit.

In those cases, I would think it could definitely be a 1st or 2nd degree murder charge. (if they could prove person planned to kill the next Bigfoot suit that walked by)

Other cases would be Negligent homicide, or manslaughter.
 
And shooting a biped would be difficult to explain to a jury.
"I thought it was a bear", probably wouldn't work.
 
Perhaps an interview the bigfoot (man in suit) and then he sees/notices people coming and says, "I need to go hide behind a tree now and make myself barely visible to them" or "I need to go lumbering through the woods, I'll be back in 5."
