American Bigfoot hunter Rick Dyer has released proof of the existence of the beast that once existed only in legends and fairytales which he reportedly shot and killed in 2012.

Professional hunter Rick Dyer may have solved the age-old question of Bigfoot's existence with the photo he posted of the hairy monster's body more than a year after he allegedly shot it dead.

"Bigfoot is 100 percent real - there's no question about that," the professional hunter shared in an interview.

Dyer retold the details of the incident, sharing that he shot the mythical beast dead in a wooded area in California along Loop 1604 and Highway 151 in September of 2012.

"Bigfoot is not a tooth fairy -- Bigfoot is real," Dyer insisted but his statement was met with disbelief and doubts due to the professional hunter's inability to produce solid evidence of his claim.

Before Thursday, the Bigfoot hunter did not follow up his claim of having shot the beast dead aside from the grainy, badly shot video he recorded of the creature. The video, which had been included in a television documentary titled "Shooting Bigfoot," failed to convince skeptics worldwide.

Shortly after resolving a feud with his investors, the hunter shared in an interview that he had been allowed to reclaim Bigfoot's body, thus he was able to upload a picture of the creature on his personal website.

"Every test that you can possibly imagine was performed on this body -- from DNA tests to 3D optical scans to body scans," Rick Dyer added. "It is the real deal. It's Bigfoot and Bigfoot's here, and I shot it and now I'm proving it to the world."

The Bigfoot hunter encouraged people to come and observe the body up close and so far more than 100 people have seen the creature's body for themselves.

Dyer said he and his investors wanted to get the people's reactions and make all of them believers. He added that they had successfully done so with the over 130 people who had seen Bigfoot's body up close.

The professional Bigfoot hunter vowed that he was not simply crying wolf this time and insisted this was the real deal.

Rick Dyer announced earlier that he take Bigfoot's body on a nationwide tour where he will charge fees for people to get an up close view of the body.
