(WSB Radio) -- Two Georgia men presented their case to the press Friday afternoon. Mat Whitton and Rick Dyer claim they have found Bigfoot.
At a California press conference, the men were joined by Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardi who says he is convinced the find is real.
"We were hiking in the woods, it was deep in the woods. It was actually laying next to a stream. The first thing that pops into your head is Bigfoot and then you take a step back and say that can't be because I didn't believe in Bigfoot at the time. I've seen the films and things on television before but you have to come to terms with it and see that you have something special," says Whitton.
The men say the body has been turned over to Biscardi who is keeping it at an undisclosed location. The men would not reveal the location where they found the creature.
Biscardi says they are consulting with several scientists and hope to reveal more information in the next few weeks.

- They really found him!I thought it coulkd never be done but it has these guys hav seriously found bigfoot. I am very impressed! I hav always beleioved in bigfoot but when i heard some one found him, I thought it was a load of grap. But wow they really found him!
- dieloodedBigfoot prints and hair have been found in every U.S. state besides Alaska.
- HE IS REALI THINK HE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
- bigfoot foundyou guys are very lucky to have escaped with the body.most of them are not this amicable.but what do i know? i've only talked with two of them, the others may have been more reasonable.
- BIGFOOTIs it really him?
- stupidthe whole thing is a fake . those two guys trying to get the press to believe them and turned out to be fake hahahahha!!!!!!!!!
- GA? HUH!I can honestly say I've never heard of any sighting or plaster foot casting or hairs foundin GA! I kind of thought that "bigfoot" was a northwest thing. Maybe it drowned crossing the Mississippi River and a tornado in the midwest picked up the carcus and flung it into the north GA mountian aera? Hey stranger things have happened! Like finding a "bigfoot" in north GA!!!
In a news cast they said that one of them stayed behind while the other one went and got a truck to haul it back to their house. Does any one think they used the Big Foot Monster Truck to tow "bigfoot" to the freezer? - bigfootsomeone is missing a costume from a halloween store
- BigfootEveryone that doesnt beleive in bigfoot, doesnt have to. its not like ppl go into the woods every day to find him, so he could be walking round left and right without anyone knowing because theres no one out there all the damn time. for the ppl who do beleive then beleive it but dont go and preach to everyone that he is real, ya maybe the government is hidding something from us, but we dont know for sure. i saw the fox news cast last night and that thing in the box did look real. but maybe stupid ass george bush doesnt want ppl to freak out. so please dont be hipactritical about it if you dont beleive and if you do. its retarded
- It's True!I don't care what anyone says, this is the real Bigfoot. I mean come on people, look at the pictures. The government doesn't want everyone to know there are human/ape like creatures with big feet. I think both George Bush and John Wayne are behind this massive global coverup.
- Big Foot FoundAww, honey. We've been spotted again. Now it's time to move across the US, again. You have to remember NOT to walk out on the path in front of video cameras that just happen to be there. And tell Nessi I know she's in my cave. Tell her to go home, it's been long enough since she's been spotted.
- where did u read it was fake?
- NOT REAL STUPID HOAXits a hoax. wacth the video on fox news.
- BigfootI i belived in bigfoot all of my life and yes its going to totake abody to prove the credits wrong.or other peolpe.
they just dont except the truth that bigfoor is real.like iys gonna take abody ..you guys done it wish you well - ima call shenanigans on this one.
- did they find himi was at work the other day and a bunch of my friends were talking about how they have found big foot now im getting pissed off beacuse if someone would have found him everybody would be lined up to pay to see the beast now if they did please fellas put up some pics
- big footokay seriously?
have you seen his eyes?
and the rest of the body?
how about the fact they sent it in for DNA testing.
seriously, get over yourselves and stop being pissed that you didnt discover something amazing.
just because you dont think its real doesnt mean its not.
they're sending it in for an autopsy.
really?
if it was fake..how the hell would you send it in for an autopsy.
when it comes back real..
watch all of you non believers day
"i knew it was real the whole time" - Dr. Phil on BigfootAsked about the find, Dr. Phil responded, "Look, at the end of the day, it isn't terribly important whether you believe in Bigfoot or whether you don't believe in Bigfoot. What is vitally important about Bigfoot is whether he is motivated with the confidence to believe in himself, because that gets right to the root of his self-image, and if he has poor self-esteem, he isn't going to be happy in the woods, in captivity, dead or anywhere else."
- BigfootI think they may have found
Jimmy Hoffa. Looks a bit like him.

Gonzee - You really think that this thing "so called Bigfoot" is for real? Come on.. this country is in a economic crisis and people are worried about a hoax like this?? How is it...that they can take DNA evidence from this "so called bigfoot", and what are the comparing the DNA to?? Makes no logical sense to me what so ever. Knock off the crap and worry about something else.
- my job sucksI need to get a real job. I hate wearing this stupid costume! Who's gonna buy a car because there's a gorilla out front? And it's impossible to take a leak and I really gotta go. Lemme just slip behind these trees and... Whoa, hey guys. Hey, hey--watch where you're pointing that thing. I don't have any money--where would I keep the wallet, right? I don't want any trouble. (This hillbilly thinks I'm as bear...) Hey, buddy, just a guy in a monkey suit... lemme take off the head... no, wait! ow!.... oof!.... ehhh... (gurgle.... gurgle)....
- Bigfoot dont exist people just let it go. Go research on how to turn this economy around and gas prices down instead of trying to fraud people.
- SCARY YANKSI agree. I've been to NY. There are some scary creatures right out in the open. As a matter of fact, a bunch of them looked an awful lot like that thing in the freezer...and they were walking right down the street, driving cars and at the mall!
- Whitten says, "The first thing that pops into your head is Bigfoot and then you take a step back and say that can't be because I didn't believe in Bigfoot at the time".
Whitten and his partner were running a business that took people into the woods looking for Bigfoot. So, his quote about not believing is admitting fraud, regardless of anything else. Either he's lying about not believing, or he was intentionally defrauding people by taking their money and guiding them on a "hunt". - Western New YorkWe must be doing something right, there are a hell of a lot of you yankees living here. I don't know how many of you wise asses I've interviewed for a job but you wont get one here.
- bigfooti believe its something and most likely a real bigfoot.
- is this real?ok is this really real?? i dont know what to beleive. Because ive seen tv shows on this stuff & its a sack of crap. We need some real information. We are really into this and want to know more!
peace - bigfootall i got to say is wow, georgia will do anything to get people to visit their state.......
- Right...It's a ploy to get people to watch depressing, evil news tv again, or it will be covered up and the people involved will mysteriously die within 2 years.
- I dunno...Dude, the thing has white teeth.
No wild animal has ever had white teeth.
I don't have white teeth. - Big FootDo They Really Expect Us To Believe This? Time To Stop Smoking The Reefer Boys!
- project **sp
- HoaxIt is all just publicity for a bigfoot movie. Remember the Blair Witch Progect?
- oh myI can see it all now...
GA Dept of Social Services will want to take the kids away,
IRS looking to put one hell of a back-tax lien on 'em
DNR throwing them out for camping where they shouldn't
Game people wanting to arrest them for hunting without a license
Local coun ty gov't finding a zillion code violations..
Those poor bigfoots are in a heap of trouble. - bigfootDamn-know I know where my gardner, Igor went. I was pissed that he didn't do his job. OK Igor, come clean and tell me why you are passed out drunk in a trash bin? It's OK, I promise. You will only have one of your front teeth pulled this time. Remember the last time you pissed in the pool? YOU ARE ON A SHORT LEACH! TELL THOSE IDIOTS IN GA THAT YOU NEED A GREYHOUND BUS TICKET BACK TO CA! Don't cry, I can see you now,it's OK. JUST GET YOUR HAIRY ASS BACK HERE!!!!!!
- heeeeeeey.....thats my x-wife after she tried my new hair moisturizer invention. I was wondering were she went off to. I want her back.
- endanger!!!i think that bigfoot should be left a lone,i realize its pretty cool to find something that is so amazing as bigfoot if its real,however there could be reasons to why we havent found bigfoot real and alive in the past,i feel that if this is a real bigfoot one of two things will happen:1 someone will hunt the bigfoot to trap it and put it in some zoo or the bigfoot will be an endanger animal,pulling it out of what it only knows the wild,i remember the tasmanian tiger there was only one left in the world(no one has found another like it),people trapped the animal put it in to a zoo,later the animal died in 1936,it wasent met to be caught,i realize people thought they was going to save the endanger animal but in the end they killed it by putting it into a zoo.
- Pot cropI think these guy were harvesting their crop and smoked to much of. Must be good stuff though.
- how could they find a 7 foot 7 over 500 pound dead person to put in a freezer
- hahahaanyone down to help me find nessie?
- Giant Ground Sloth?Those front teeth look like the incisors of a giant ground sloth to me! It was one of the animals that (supposedly) went extinct during the great die off of North America's giant megafauna, when the last ice-age ended. That, or the deciduous incisors of an equine(front baby teeth of a horse or donkey). (?)
- its alive!!!I know Bigfoot is real. I watch all the shows on History Channel and believe he's out there somewhere.? I lived in the Blue Ridge Moutains almost all my life and believe i've seen the creature a time or two in the thick. Anythings possible. Like Bigfoot...!!!! It has to be real!!!
- bigfootyou sure it's not Jimmy Hoffa?
- re-bigfooti wonder if its really kammi kilpatrick mayor of detroit
- wow that is amazing. I never thought in my life time the legend of bigfoot would be true.
- oh boyI cant believe this Hoax has gone on so long boy will they be surprised when they find a dead human body in that costume
- what happend to my daddy?
- We've got 'em too!We have reported sightings of a "Bigfoot" not far from where we live. Reported sightings, but no real hard evidence. Similar to what we have here. Come forward with all you have! Spill your guts! We're all waiting!
- Photo evidenceWhere are the pictures? To heck with "revealing more information in the next few weeks." The least you can do is put up more photos of the creature RIGHT NOW!
- Cohutta WildernessFive people saw the transport in the Cohutta wilderness up in the northern Georgia mountains.
- its ericit's Eric Rudolph's off spring
- What a crock!This has all the trappings of a hoax.
- I hope..i hope these guys never reveal where they found him (or her). society needed the evidence but I hope this doesn't bring out all the crazies who want to kill or hunt others. we need to let them be....
- Bigfoot FoundSend those guys out to find Osama bin Laden next.
