Destination America is going after Bigfoot. This week, the network announced their new series Killing Bigfoot will debut in February.
The docuseries follows the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization (GCBRO) as they “help families terrorized by Bigfoot and prove once and for all that the fabled creature exists by killing one specimen – and providing a body of definitive scientific proof.”
Killing Bigfoot premieres on February 4th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
From Destination America:
(Silver Spring, Md.) – Deep in the heart of Texas, Bobby Hamilton has been on the hunt for Bigfoot ever since encountering the monster as a child. Decades later, the world still doesn’t have definitive proof of Bigfoot’s existence. That’s where Bobby, his friend Jim Lansdale, and their team of monster hunters, known as the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization (GCBRO), have decided to take matters into their own hands. Down south, the hunters believe a sleeker, faster and more aggressive type of Bigfoot is attacking people’s homes, farm animals and pets. In the all-new series KILLING BIGFOOT, GCBRO is on a mission to help families terrorized by Bigfoot and prove once and for all that the fabled creature exists by killing one specimen – and providing a body of definitive scientific proof. The six-episode first season of KILLING BIGFOOT premieres Saturday, February 4 at 10/9c on Destination America.
Under Bobby and Jim’s leadership, the members of GCBRO come from vastly diverse backgrounds including civil engineering, IT and corporate technology, and private investigation and surveillance. The team also includes former cops, National Guard and military veterans, a medical tech, and even a coroner’s “body removal specialist.” GCBRO’s main goal is to help those frightened by alleged recent encounters with Bigfoot, but however well-intentioned GCBRO’s mission may be, their extreme objective to kill even one Bigfoot puts them at odds with many in the crypto-zoological community who do not want to see one dead.
This season of KILLING BIGFOOT includes the following episodes:
Season Premiere: Saturday, February 4 at 10/9c
Three members of GCBRO speak at the Honobia Bigfoot Conference in Oklahoma, where they meet angry resistance from those who want Bigfoot left in peace. The team is called away to Louisiana, where new evidence has been unearthed following an alleged Bigfoot hit and run: a tiny primate-like skull with teeth, which they send to a DNA lab for testing. Several locals have reported seeing a small orangutan-like creature and hearing monkey-like sounds near the woods. GCBRO organize a night hunt during which they have a frightening close-encounter and then possibly capture footage of Bigfoot itself.

A report comes in to the GCBRO of a terrifying Bigfoot encounter on the Dyess family’s 5,000-acre wooded farm in the swampy Sabine River area of southwest Louisiana. Family members have heard mysterious screaming at night and taken casts of huge, unidentified animal tracks found on the property. GCBRO steps in to try to bring peace to the Dyess farm and, in the process, has a possible nighttime encounter with Bigfoot. Meanwhile, GCBRO has a run-in with their old teammate-turned-rival Dr. Web Sentell, a neuro-psychologist and Bigfoot no-kill advocate who wants to prove he can find one of the creatures using a gentle, alternative: flute playing and food offerings. The benefits of killing or not killing Bigfoot in the South becomes a major argument between Sentell and GCBRO.

With cases flooding into GCBRO headquarters, Jim is intrigued by the reports but overwhelmed by requests for assistance. They need new hunters if they want to keep up with the demand. While Jim and Don Don visit a biker whose family had a face-to-face encounter with Bigfoot deep in the Mississippi woods, the process of interviewing new recruits begins: culminating in a series of challenging tests. The candidate search might be just as difficult as finding Bigfoot itself, but a night hunt with the most viable recruits shows off the talents they could bring to GCBRO.

The team gets excited by a report from a woman in east Texas, Anna, who claims she shot at Bigfoot in her backyard to protect her daughter and save her dog. A wounded monster should be easy to track down. GCBRO races down to meet her and check out the game camera photos she captured. Anna shows them an unidentified hair sample she found attached to her shoe that is sent away for DNA analysis. Before embarking on their night hunt back at Anna’s property, the team visits a nearby sighting eyewitness who leads the team to possible Bigfoot nests. That evening, the hunt reveals Bigfoot trails, tracks and some very close calls.

GCBRO member Don goes on a local TV show to reach out to the public to come forward with their Bigfoot sightings in the Mississippi area. GCBRO receives a report from a frightened rural family that claims Bigfoot killed several of their dogs and even attacked a young man. The team to meets Minnie and her family in a rural farming community, where they will conduct a series of night hunts to get to the bottom of the attacks. The hunt is on when another of the owner’s dogs goes missing. A hair sample is brought to Bigfoot forensics expert M.K. Davis.

Jessica and her physically challenged husband Bret live in a heavily wooded area of Texas. They say they’re being terrorized by Bigfoot pounding on the walls of their house, and screaming and wailing in the night. Bret also believes he saw a huge Bigfoot run in front of his car, and so he calls GCBRO to try and locate the creature that is frightening them. The team finds tracks around the house, including a huge handprint in the mud that’s twice the size of a human hand. The final night hunt of the season sends GCBRO in search of a giant, rogue Bigfoot.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Bigfoot series? Will you watch Killing Bigfoot?
Really like the Killing Bigfoot Season 1. Would like to know if and when season 2 will be airing.
I was just wandering why all these good shows have been cancelled or I really cant seem to find out why they arent on anymore. Shows that were on Destination American. Montain Monsters, Alaska Hunters, Killing Bigfoit all these shows are about bigfoot or monsters being seen the woods. Destination America has also cancelled or like I said, dont know what happened to Ghost Asylum, Haunted Collector, Ghosts of Shepardstown, Ghost Brothers & Paranormal Lockdown. If u could find out for it would be nice to know if these shows are coming back. Itm a big fan of all of… Read more »
Ok does big foot ever die? It seems he’s been around forever, as much as I love and always watch this channel I think Big Foot is not real one Cus he lives forever and 2 it’s like you guys are always hunting for it, it’s ridiculous lol lol
If I wanted to watch a bunch of intellectually challenged rednecks running around at night with guns, I’d watch Donald Trump rally videos.
I have no intention of watching Killing Bigfoot. My opinion is the people who love the show mainly like watching men with high powered rifles wander around at night looking for something to kill and they aren’t particular about what it is. Same with Mountain Monsters which I watched in the beginning as I was curious about the folklore of all the different “monsters”. Since both shows are mainly a bunch of men running around at night screaming the novelty wore off real quick. I also find it interesting they call it harvesting and not killing. Gee I wonder if… Read more »
We love the show, it is the best Bigfoot show out there hands down. These guys are the real deal and our family can’t wait until next week to see the next episode, and what happens. I had lost all interest in these programs with that other joke of a show always hollering out and thinking they hear a squatch in the woods. Then this show came out and I decided to give it a try. Two thumbs up, fantastic show, I hope you succeed in putting one on a slab! My only complaint is that we can’t get enough… Read more »
Am not going to pass judgement but how do we know that this thing you all call Bigfoot is not part of the human race, you are all taking law in to your own hands, God put all of us here for a reason, Maybe we look like monsters to them. Just Leave It ALONE & MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU ALL.
