Could be wrong, but that looks like a New York tag on that vehicle.
City folk driving to Georgia to hunt the hairy beast? These local yokels have no idea what's roaming their woods. |

Georgia doesn't require front plates so that one is probably decorative. It likely says something about Bigfoot.
Anyway, it takes some balls to drive that thing around. |

That was me and my brother Fast Eddie, you should have come over and said hello so you could have posted a pic of you with the car.

From their website: "Your mountain adventure starts here at North Georgia's BIGGEST family attraction where entertainment meets education. Expedition: BIGFOOT! Is a 4000sqft complex where you will see the countries largest permanent display of genuine Bigfoot artifacts, life sized exhibits, photos, sketches, large up to date sighting maps, and the World's only Bigfoot Research and Tech Vehicle on display.Enjoy The "Sasquatch Theater", browse the Gift shop, or relax in our Bigfoot Reference Library. Join us for a day you will never forget."
When I read this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What exactly is a Bigfoot Research and Tech Vehicle? Because if it's the vehicle pictured above, it look's like they just slapped some stickers on their car door. |

Hmmm.
That’s not too far away from me. I sometimes grouse hunt (aka aimlessly walk through the mountains with nothing to show for my efforts) near there. Might have to check it out and report back on how awesome it is. |

I know of a private annual gathering in that area - a music festival of sorts. A sizeable proportion of them could be mistaken for bigfoot at a distance. Additionally, a sizeable proportion of them might mistake *themselves* for bigfoot during the fest.
![]() Also - you have to pay to go in? Thats a missed business oppty. I think the better model is to get folks in the door, and *then* work on lightening their wallets. |

It's basically the southern extent of the range, but they are there. In ever-dwindling numbers.
I cynically use e-bird sighting maps to find likely areas. Edit: Now that I think about it. Squatchin' and Southern Appalachia grouse hunting are basically the same thing. A real good day is when you end up getting a brief look at a blurry animal through the undergrowth that no one believes you about. |

That particular model also comes with the all-weather motivational sign package (by Wal-Mart®) that includes the ever popular "You don't find Bigfoot, Bigfoot finds you." banner in three different sizes in addition to 5 free gallons of Bigfoot Stink Sauce™ just for thinking of them first.

Thats certainly impressive. Had I, um, pinched such a loaf, I'd probably want to save it in a glass case for posterity, too!

Wow, I never knew about that whopper turd on display. I wonder what it actually is. Maybe it's a hoax created with mud or something. And what's that behind it - is that a photo of the turd sitting on a truck tailgate or what?

On a serious note, if that's a Bigfoot dropping, then where are the DNA tests? There should be enough in that thing to run as many tests as you'd like...my understanding is that fecal matter usually contains a plethora of the hosts DNA.

Before any DNA testing would be done it would be prudent to first determine that it is actually a fece.

Looks pretty fake but, if legit, why not just a bear's fecal plug?
