Cousins Hunt Bigfoot in Broken Bow with Nutella as Bait

There's something undeniably charming about a group of kids grabbing a trail cam, a jar of Nutella, and heading into the woods to hunt for Sasquatch. That's exactly what happened in a recent discovery over on the Sewer Squad YouTube channel, where a creator named Eli dug up a documentary-style video he filmed two years ago with his cousins during a trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma.
For anyone familiar with the research, Broken Bow needs no introduction. Tucked into the southeastern corner of Oklahoma, this little slice of the Ouachita Mountains has earned a reputation as one of the more active hotspots in the region. Creeks wind through dense pine and hardwood forests, and the terrain offers exactly the kind of cover a large, elusive hominid would need to stay hidden. Sightings have rolled in from this area for decades, and researchers have long pointed to the water sources as a key factor. Bigfoot, like any large mammal, needs to drink, and creeks are natural gathering points for wildlife, which in turn attracts predators and, well, whatever else might be out there.
Eli and his crew clearly did their homework, at least in spirit. They set their sights on the creek behind their cabin, brought along a trail cam, headlamps, binoculars, and a Bigfoot book for good measure. The bait of choice? Nutella, because apparently the word on the street is that Sasquatch has a sweet tooth for Nutter Butters. Close enough, I guess.
The video has that wonderful homemade energy that makes these kinds of projects so easy to love. There's a cabin tour featuring a hot tub, an outdoor TV, and a playground. There's a trip to Luigi's for burgers and pizza. There's a heated debate over nicknames that results in one poor kid being dubbed "Hamburger" by majority vote, and another earning the legendary title of "Grandma Jeffrey" before being upgraded to "Coop the Pooper." It's the kind of chaos that reminds you how much fun this whole search can be when you're not taking yourself too seriously.
What makes videos like this special isn't just the laughs, though. It's the fact that the next generation is out there, learning the creeks, setting up trail cams, and keeping the search alive. Every researcher started somewhere, and sometimes that somewhere is a family vacation in the woods with a jar of hazelnut spread and a dream.
The full video is worth a watch for the entertainment value alone, and if Eli and his cousins got any footage on that trail cam, all the better. Broken Bow has a way of surprising people.
