The mythical ape-like creature 'Bigfoot' is being used as a tourism catch in Oklahoma, USA.
Bigfoot - a large, hairy, human-like creature - has no evidence of existence, but thousands of people in the US and Canada have claimed to have spotted the mammal.
Republican House member Justin Humphrey has introduced the bill that would create a Bigfoot hunting season on Wednesday (local time).
The bill calls for the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission (OWCC) to establish a hunting season for the creature.
"Tourism is one of the biggest attractions we have in my House district," Humphrey said in a statement.
"Establishing an actual hunting season and issuing licenses for people who want to hunt Bigfoot will just draw more people to our already beautiful part of the state.
"It will be a great way for people to enjoy our area and to have some fun."
Humphrey said he doesn't actually want people to kill Bigfoot, but instead, he hopes to work with state wildlife and tourism departments so that they can trap the creature.
"A lot of people don't believe in Bigfoot, but a lot of people do," Humphrey said.
"Just like some people like to go deer hunting, while some won't."
The most recent sighting was reported by a Florida woman in June 2018. She claimed the creature looked like "a large pile of soggy grass".
