"Bigfoot" Captured in Annual Hunt

The legendary "Bigfoot" was captured in an annual hunt near Elliston, Montana, this year.

Armed with flashlights, whistles and beer, 327 "hunters" trudged through snow for an hour and 20 minutes, the longest search in the history of the event, before someone finally blew their whistle announcing that Bigfoot had been found.

Cathleen Dobson, a member of the National Guard in nearby Helena, was this year's victor. She found Bigfoot — that is, John Peskey, a 6-foot-2 high school orchestra teacher dressed in a Bigfoot costume — nestled in a willow thicket at the back of the property.

Basically, it is a rather elaborate "hide and seek" with someone in a costume. Hopefully they used private land for the event. I don't know if skulking around in the woods in a hairy costume would be the best idea if it was on public land.
