Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say

(CNN) -- A policeman and a former corrections officer say that on Friday they will unveil evidence of what they claim is their biggest find ever: the body of Bigfoot.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting hobbyists from north Georgia, say they found the creature's body in a wooded area and spotted several similar creatures that were still alive.

The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. However, the two are not disclosing the exact location of their discovery to protect the remaining creatures.

Tom Nelson, chairman of the biology department at North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega, said he's "pretty skeptical" the world will feast its eyes on a new species Friday.

"That would certainly rock mammalogy," joked Nelson, who specializes in the study of mammals. "I see a research grant in my future."

3. The fur doesn't look real.
And the pic I saw looks like a guy in an ape suit. The pictures I saw were of very poor quality, and in this day and age, there is no excuse for crappy pictures.

4. They were interviewed by Rachel Maddow on Countdown
last week and they corrected her in saying that they weren't hunters but hikers. So I think even though their story probably is nonsense, at least we should try to be as accurate as possible and not perpetrate what isn't true especially if it's from the people who are supposed to be hunters but insist that they aren't.

5. It's funny how everytime I post this, I get responses like
If this were real, they would show the body.

Or

This has to be fake because of such and such.

IT'S FAKE BECAUSE ITS FUCKING NOT REAL - ITS FUCKING BIGFOOT - A NOT REAL FABRICATED LEGEND!

THE ONLY THING MORE FAKE IS THE LOCH NESS MONSTER!!!!!

Geeze, oh man.

6. My bet is that it's rubbish
I could be wrong, but we have a LONG history of things like this amounting to diddly squat. Chances are very good this will too.

7. Believe it - Bigfoot is real!
These guys are the best in the Bigfoot business, they know what they are talking about.

Bigfoot is more than just a creature, it's a state of mind.
