Is Sasquatch-hunting Legal in Washington State?
On March 19, the Stevens County Sheriff’s Office in Washington state posted on its Facebook site that a prospective Bigfoot hunter had called indicating he “will be coming into the area mid-April and wants to hunt in the Big Meadow Lake area.”
Apparently the man had contacted another state office that made light of his request.
“I tried to refer him to Fish and Wildlife, but they had referred him to us,” an employee said.
The caller wanted to know if it was legal to hunt the mythical ape-like creature that purportedly inhabits forests of the Pacific Northwest. According to the Facebook post, the individual “has concerns about how to stay legal while hunting [in] the Big Meadow Lake area because our laws are unclear regarding Sasquatch hunts. He needs to know (1) Is it legal in Stevens County to shoot Sasquatch? (2) Is a regular hunting license enough to keep his Sasquatch hunt legal?”
The caller went on to explain he, “of course will not hunt or shoot female Sasquatch” and if “he does not hear from someone today, he intends to call back tomorrow.
“So our Patrol Chief called the inquiring party back to pass on two important pieces of information: (1) Meadow Lake is in Pend Oreille County Sheriff jurisdiction and he would have more information on that topic,” and (2) “There are no Sasquatch in Stevens County. We know this because one of our deputies would have accidentally hit one with a patrol car by now!”
Those commenting on Facebook did not necessarily agree with the foregoing: “There’s definitely Sasquatch in Stevens county lol,” one individual wrote.
“I loved your answers and I am sure the other office did, too,” another commented.
“He is pretty naïve to think he can hunt them,” a third posted. “Quite the opposite will happen once the word gets out.”
