My Predictions

Will anyone win the $1,000,000 Sasquatch Photo Challenge?

Current forecast: 5% chance
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 5% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)

Optics company Bushnell and Field and Stream magazine are teaming up to sponsoring a contest, offering US$1,000,000 for a photo of an actual, verified bigfoot, taken with a Bushnell field camera. It's a real contest, albeit presented in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. Will anyone snap and actual sasquatch and claim the top prize?

Settlement details: As reported by Field and Stream or Bushnell on their website or in a corporate press release.

Snap! You've been sasquatched...

Don't everyone rush for the 5% odds, good for 17 weeks...and, for good measure, the suspend date will probably be extended. And how many times will this question be suspended, because someone took a picture of Granny in her snow shoes?

if the prize money wasn't $1 millon it might be worth the wait to collect. i don't think bushnell will give away 1 mill just to "claim" somebody got a pic of bigfoot with their equiment. august must be bigfoot month. he's all over the news. maybe he hired a PR firm :)

@ friend dieseldog:

August must be BIGFOOT MONTH...YEP!...he got left out of the Olympics...LOL...

Now if August is BIGFOOT IN MOUTH...That's a whole 'nother story: We have the Democratic and Republican Conventions, not to mention how Zimbabwe has scored so many medals at the Olympics...No wonder they stopped Robert Mugabe in Hong Kong.
