Plot Synopsis

KILLING BIGFOOT is a one-hour reality series that follows Bobby Hamilton, his friend Jim Lansdale, and their team of monster hunters, known as the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization (GCBRO). Down south, the hunters believe a sleeker, faster and more aggressive type of Bigfoot is attacking people's homes, farm animals and pets. Now, in this series, 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. 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. Destination America aired the U.S. premiere of KILLING BIGFOOT on Saturday, February 4, 2017 at 10pm ET/PT. Then, 3.5 years later, Travel Channel aired the same episodes with a new title, BIGFOOT IS REAL, beginning Wednesday, June 17, 2020.
