According to the data, he could have gotten the same result dressed as a cow or horse. Hunting is, at times, a place where keen eyesight isn’t a factor.
Tom Lehrer’s spoken intro to his hunting song explained, “Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody lse, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, maybe a large flesh-colored squirrel.”
That’s harsh. Big Foot hunters have pretty much the same sense of humor as Ancient Alien theorists, Flat Earthers, Elvis Lives believers, Stop the Stealers, and a few other groups to whom the inquiry, “Are you serious?” is an invitation to a fist-fight, if not a shooting. /s
The Morristown NJ National Historical Park (where Washington and company endured the coldest winter on record) has colonial era artifacts. I was amused to see an old “bigfoot” on a long handle that was used to clandestinely make Bigfoot prints to keep those believers believing.

Some “big game” hunters will shoot at anything that moves. And often it doesn’t even have to move

WHY do they call those things “practical”? My dad (and me thereafter) called them “practically jokes” … as in “nearly funny”.

The hunter knew it was probably a joke, but when it’s a 6-point Bigfoot, you don’t take a chance.

Never tease idiots with guns. I think “Bigfoot Hunter” falls right in the middle of that category.

Most big foot hunters don’t carry guns, or they don’t use them since we have no dead big foots. Live capture seems to be the ideal solution.

Sometimes being funny isn’t very amusing.

When filming “Star Wars”, security had to surround Peter Mayhew while he was dressed as Chewbacca so he didn’t get shot…

I also don’t recall Bigfoot having horns.

My understanding is that “big foot” does not have antlers. That is where you went wrong.

Going into the woods dressed like that during big game season would be considered having suicidal tendencies.
