WILLOW CREEK, Calif., Sept. 12 (UPI) -- A convention began in northern California Friday that will debate whether bigfoot hunters should shoot a Sasquatch for examination.

The International Bigfoot Symposium in Willow Creek attracts everyone from crackpots to tenured professors for two days of scientific findings, pseudo-scientific theories and debate, the Sacramento Bee reported.

A Sasquatch, or bigfoot, is a man-like creature, tall, heavy, hairy and stinky, the report said.

When they are spotted, they are almost never in a group setting, the same for the people who say they've seen them.

David Walsh, a longtime psychology professor at the University of Southern California, reported seeing a Bigfoot in 2002 while hunting wild pigs.

"I think every fish and game department in the country should sell lifelong licenses to hunt Bigfoot, and the minute one is killed, void all of the licenses and protect them," Walsh said.
