Bigfoot and lake monsters, beware: There's a price on your heads. Binocular manufacturer Bushnell, along with "Field and Stream" magazine, have teamed up to offer $1 million to anyone who can "provide an unaltered photograph/video, verified and substantiated by a panel of scientific experts [including a zoologist and biologist], the evidence required to prove a Sasquatch/Bigfoot/Yeti exists." The contest started a few days ago and ends Dec. 15, but before heading out to claim your million, note that the rules' fine print states that they are not liable for any injury incurred during a Bigfoot attack. A good quality Bigfoot image would make history; most photos are of such consistently poor quality that within the Bigfoot research community there's even a name for a typical blurry "Bigfoot" image: blobsquatch. This is, of course, a marketing promotion and not a genuine search for Bigfoot. There's no way to authenticate a Bigfoot photograph by itself; the image is simply a two-dimensional pattern of pixels. To truly prove a Bigfoot exists, you'd need corroborating hard evidence like a body, teeth, or bones. Bigfoot isn't the only monster whose proof of existence commands cash. Larry Nielson, a boat owner from Lake City, Minnesota, is offering a reward for their local lake monster. Pepie, the mysterious beast said to lurk in Lake Pepin, was supposedly seen on April 28, 1871, and only rarely since then. According to Nielson, you don't actually have to capture the beast: "The Lake City Tourism Bureau has announced a $50,000 reward for undisputable evidence that proves the existence of the real live creature living in Lake Pepin.

The proof should include photographics (sic) and/or samples of skin or fins that can studied for a DNA analysis." Savvy marketers have been using monsters in promotions for over a century. In 1873, the great American showman P.T. Barnum offered a $50,000 reward for Champ, the monster supposedly living in Vermont's Lake Champlain.

Well that stuffs me up completely as I am in Australia and can't travel to those places. Interesting article though. Maybe I can use the net to find real evidence. Nah just joking i would never pluagerise

Maybe I could find the Tasmanian Tiger?

Let me fetch a camera and a metal gauntlet! I'll capture a picture of Bigfoot and then punch his teeth out for DNA evidence. Oh, and run like hell after punching something twice my size!

What if somebody produced a really genuine looking fake, passed the test and snaffled the $1 million reward? Nah, looks like there's a pretty tough panel of experts to bypass...

I have a few pics of my ex that I'm sure would pass muster. Where do I pick up my check????

I am a Native Aussie,
From the kimberleys W.A.
Some people do believe in Bigfoot BUT they call Him a hairy man. He smells real stink!
