Editorial: Is there a Bigfoot Body in the Peach State?

I have held off on writing about this because I had initially written it off as a joke, especially considering how the gentlemen who make this claim were acting towards the Bigfoot community, but I have decided to throw my two cents in on this issue. About two or three weeks ago, two gentlemen, Ric Dyer and a fellow named Gary, set up a website called bigfoottracker.com where they made the extraordinary claim that they had the ultimate piece of proof of the existence of a North American hairy biped-a body! They issued a series of video vignettes where they offended much of the Bigfoot community and bashed all Bigfooters in general, which caused a great deal of consternation in the BF community. The latest stunts these fellows pulled were burning Loren Coleman's Bigfoot book and essentially making themselves look bad. However, perhaps these stunts are being done in an effort to distract Bigfooters from the true nature of the find. Do I agree with their tactics? Not necessarily, but if indeed they do have the goods, then their tactics will ultimately not matter in the end. I think the Bigfoot community will benefit ultimately if indeed these guys from Georgia do have a body. They have set a deadline for themselves of September 1st, and the rest of us are waiting and counting the days till then. If indeed this news is true, then the Bigfoot field as we know it will change drastically, and there will be legislation proposed for protection of these unique creatures and there will be even more expeditions going into the field to look for a domecile of these individuals to study them in their natural habitat. There will be T-Shirts, posters, action figures, websites, new books and documentaries. It will be a very exciting time, for sure, especially for the Bigfoot community, and the rest of the world as well, and the world I think will benefit from it. It will be just one more unknown species which becomes known at last. Let us all reserve judgment until September 1st and see what these guys have. I know I am.
