Woods Full of Armed Bigfoot Hunters?

Todd Haynes’s Bob Dylan movie is getting a lot of notice. Apparently Haynes is merely another artistically strange individual, for the following was revealed in a Robert Sullivan interview this weekend:

“For one issue of Plazm, Haynes posed in a Bigfoot suit, no one apparently telling him how dangerous it is to run around in the Pacific Northwest woods in a Bigfoot suit with so many armed Bigfoot hunters running around.)”

Okay, first off, I can’t imagine this guy was in much danger surrounded by a crew of Plazm photographers and celebrity handlers.

Secondly, don’t you think there’s a bit of a myth being created about the PNW forests being full of gun-toting Sasquatch slayers and six-pack Bigfoot hunters with their elephant rifles?

I’m the first one to say I’m all for the camera over the gun, but the numbers of actual Bigfoot hunting-related accidents seem to be microscopic. The incidents of humans-in-gorilla-suits being plugged in the woods are, what, none? one?

Statistical logic appears to overturn this business about “so many armed Bigfoot hunters running around” the woods injuring hoax-minded humans.

Are Bigfooters out there, armed and dangerous, ready to kill your grandmother in her ghillie suit?
