A hunter called a police station in northeastern Washington and asked them if it's legal to hunt a Sasquatch.

You Want To Hunt Sasquatch?

If you're planning to go camping or hunting in the northeastern part of Washington, you may want to stay home. Or, if you're hairy and plan on camping there, keep your shirt on because you could be a target.

The Stevens County Sheriffs Office posted on their Facebook Page that they were contacted by a man asking if it's allowed to hunt in their area. Not just hunt big game. He wants to hunt Big Foot. He mentioned he's coming to town around April to hunt Big Foot. The hunter also inquired about needing a special license to hunt the hairy mythical creature.

You're Asking The Wrong People

The police department told the man that he was contacting the wrong people for answers, the Facebook post said. They advised him to contact the Fish & Wildlife Office. The funny thing about this is he did contact him about hunting the big hairy creature, they directed him to call the police. The police took a message and passed it up the chain of command at the police department. The hunter also wanted to clarify to them that he only wants to hunt a MALE sasquatch. So, all the female sasquatches are safe.

The Verdict

The patrol chief responded back to the man's request and questions. He passed along two guidelines and pieces of information for others who are wanting to travel and hunt in the same area.

One: The guy wanting to hunt sasquatch asked about hunting in an area called Meadow Lake, which is in a different county. If you need more info, ask the sheriff there.

Two: He's pretty sure there is not a sasquatch around the area. He then says if there was one out there, one of his deputies would have hit one with their car by now.

8 Amazing S’mores Treats To Try In Las Vegas

Bust out those marshmallows! We're celebrating National S'mores Day!

Which got me thinking. Are there any places in Las Vegas where you can get a really great S'mores dish? Of course there are. Quite a few, actually. Because we're Vegas. Home to some of the most creative and inspired chefs in the world. So we did a little digging and found some amazing local treats to try, in honor of one of the sweetest national holidays around.

National S'mores Day is celebrated every year on August 10.

And the beloved S'more has been around for almost a century now. The invention of the tasty delicacy is attributed to an American entrepreneur named Alec Barnum. But little is known about him or the validity of this origin story. So we'll stick with what we do know. The first people to make record of the S'more was a tribe of young women with grit, fervor, and cookies.

Yep. I'm talking about the Girl Scouts of America. We can thank those little cookie-pushers for first publishing the S'mores recipe in their 1927 publication. Called Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts, the publication actually called the treat "Some More's". It wasn't until a year later the recipe was printed under the name we know it as today (nationaldaycalender.com).

Which is just the two words combined into a contraction. Is it because people ask for a second one while their mouth is still full with the first? Asking for a friend.

If it ain't broke, you don't you fix it. You eat it!

And the recipe has been the same ever since that first publication. Two pieces of graham cracker. A toasted marshmallow. And half a chocolate bar. People have done a lot to alter the traditional recipe, but the original was so perfect that it's never permanently evolved into anything else.

So feel free to make a S'more this weekend at home to celebrate. Or you can get out of the house and try one of these sweet treats around Vegas that are a delicious twist on our old favorite.
