It is hereby ruled that bigfoot has the right to free speech unless he doesn't exist, in which case he doesn't.

Look, if we are ever going to solve this mystery, we all have to agree to stop dressing up like him and roaming the woods. We'll end up with a "little boy who cried 'Bigfoot'" scenario where a real one gets away.

Then it gets weird indeed:
Doyle and two of his friends remained in plain clothes, while the others dressed up as Bigfoot, Yoda and a pirate.
THIS is why I read FARK.

The court battle began more than two years ago. On Sept. 6, 2009, Doyle decided to film himself dressed as "Bigfoot" on the 3,165-foot mountain, which is owned and managed by DRED. The mountain has 100-mile views to points in all six New England states, the court noted in its 11-page ruling, and is said to be the second most climbed mountain in the world.
Doyle bought a costume resembling an ape and climbed the mountain with his girlfriend. At the top, he put on the costume and filmed conversations he had with other hikers.
About 20 minutes later, he removed the costume and headed back down. On the way, he met two park staff members, and persuaded them to write a note saying there had been a "Bigfoot sighting" on the mountain.
Later, the staffers said they were just playing along with what they thought was a college project. But after leaving the park, Doyle went to the local police station and also to the New Hampshire State Police barracks in Keene to tell them of the Bigfoot sighting on Mount Monadnock.
First of all, any of you that live east of Texas need to quit calling things "mountains". You have foothills. And your ski areas are nothing more than bunny slopes. Yes New Yorkers, Lake Placid is a joke. Second...Bigfoot? Really? Bigfoot is nothing more than some anti-societal, 6' 9" pot growing hillbilly. Had you lived in the far parts of Northern California, you would know this.

You haven't been to any of mine. I'd invite you, but you'd have to stop being a douche and replace the batteries in your snark meter first.
Oh and "had you lived in the far parts of NoCal" yeah....I live there. This little remote locale called Humboldt County? Nobody here (sober) has seen Bigfoot either. But you can smell the weed growers a mile away and they tend to blend in with the flora so it's easy to make the correlation of overgrown, blurry moving things

...and to hell with the 99.99% of the people there to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery and fresh air without an idiot in a costume interrupting him.

You could have just admitted you were a douche and I was right. Fewer words you'd need to string together.

All kidding aside, an unknown American ape does exist. Commonly known as sasquatch it."bigfoot", I do.believe it will be discovered by mainstream zoologists in the next few years.

So, I'm having a little harmless fun making legal, constitutionally protected silly videos in a public, taxpayer funded location, and some entitled, whiny, selfish douchebag comes along and says that everyone on the entire mountain, and in the entire park, has to shut up and act just like him...otherwise, he can't enjoy his walk. Poor dear! Everyone knows that only movie studios and tv news organizations backed by millions of dollars have the right to do something as dangerous and extraordinary as filming in a public location!
Douchey troll is douchetastic, but I think he left a little sand in that vag.
