What first started as a way to bring tourism to Oklahoma has now sparked a Bigfoot Frenzy.

Representative Justin Humphrey introduced his Bigfoot Bounty Bill back in January with the goal of encouraging someone to capture Bigfoot alive and unharmed.

The bill gained so much national attention that the $25,000 reward has now skyrocketed to more than $2 million.

"It has just been astronomical, what response we've had," Rep. Humphrey said. " Some of those people are concerned, and I've tried to put their minds at ease that this is all about tourism; this is about bringing people to see our area."

Representative Humphrey hopes to have the Bigfoot bill on Governor Stitt's desk by May.
