The Bigfoot hunters featured on the Animal Planet TV series "Finding Bigfoot" will head to Alaska this summer in search of the mythical creature.

Each week on the hit series, four researchers travel to a difference location in the United States and interview people who claim to have seen Bigfoot. Then the researchers set up re-enactments of the sighting to try to prove the existence of Sasquatch.

In the next few weeks, the "Finding Bigfoot" team will talk to Interior Alaskans who have had an encounter with Bigfoot, reports NewsMiner.com. The team consists of Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) President Matt Moneymaker, researchers James "Bobo" Fay and Cliff Barackman, and scientist Ranae Holland.

On the June 15 episode, the team decided to explore Pulaski, Virginia, for one week in search of the mythic creature in a wooded area where an outdoor columnist claimed to have taken a photo of a baby Sasquatch.

Since most Bigfoot sightings occur when camping, the team set up a campsite and used normal sights and sounds to try to lure a Sasquatch. In addition to clanging pans, the team tried out a new technique using a Bigfoot figure with light-up yellow eyes, The Examiner reported.

The producers of "Finding Bigfoot" decided to head to Pulaski after the Southwest Times published a photo of the back of an unusual animal near a trail cam by the West Virginia border. The photo went viral and stirred up lots of buzz from people who believe the animal in question is a juvenile Bigfoot. The photo, however, which was taken by outdoor columnist Roger Williams, was not considered definitive by the "Finding Bigfoot" experts because of the scale and curvature of the shoulders and backside.

Although "Finding Bigfoot" is now in its fifth season, critics say that the producers may want to consider renaming it "Searching for Bigfoot" since that the investigators have yet to actually find the beast.
