There have been a few skunk ape sightings in the county I live in. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one was authentic. There are tens of thousands of acres of woods and swamp just in my home county.

Have you guys seen the MonsterQuest episode where they are searching for the Skunk Ape??

I only caught the very beginning of that one KW. I did see the one about the Texas chupacabra.

We don't have skunk apes or coondeer in these parts, just Snipes. I swear I remember an episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast where they were discussing a Snipe Hunt, but I can't find it anywhere.

Sadly, no, but I would have loved to go on one. I hear they are quite vicious when cornered but you can tame one if you bring plenty of S'mores.
