Jackson Hole’s Bigfoot
Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 11th, 2011
In the never-ending search to find all the Bigfoot replicas around North America, another one has popped up.
There is a Bigfoot (or as the store likes to call it, a “Big Foot”) in the Jackson Hole Wildlife Co. & Jackson Mercantile at 50 West Broadway in Jackson, Wyoming.
The store has this to say about itself:
Jackson Hole Wildlife Company and Jackson Mercantile serves as one of America’s largest retail taxidermy suppliers with over 600 different kinds of animal, bird, fish, and antler art all constructed or preserved with the newest and best techniques. Showcasing one of the region’s largest wildlife displays, the company features custom built animal mounts, big-game trophies, Indian artifacts, wildlife art, regional handcrafted items, and unique gifts and specialty foods representing Wyoming, Grand Teton, and the Old West. Customers are also invited to take their picture in front of “Big Foot” and are encouraged to ask the knowledgeable staff for advice concerning animal displays and decorating. Priding itself on quality and customer satisfaction, the company provides nationwide custom placement of their taxidermy and antler products and is pleased to offer worldwide shipping on all items.
Customers do take photos of themselves in front of this store Bigfoot, and post them online. Here are some examples:

It looks like the creatures from the excellent and haunting reveal in Hammer’s “The Abominable Snowman” …which ain’t a bad thing at all!
Bleh. It either needs to be more realistic or much more kitzch. I’ve been there, by the way, and I won’t be going back. The whole town’s a tourist trap- I went into a bar for a beer and the barstools were shaped like saddles (I walked out). Too much for this Texas boy.
First thought was that the Jackson Hole’s Bigfoot reminded me of the “Addams Family” Lurch played by Ted Cassidy. Must be the pompous gaze and broad square shoulders.
They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum
Where people come to see ‘em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

I never realized Bigfoot was such a handsome fella! They need a Mrs. Bigfoot to go with him!
