Hunter’s pics revive lively Bigfoot debate
Some say creature a young Sasquatch, others call it a mangy be

Updated: 19 minutes ago
RIDGWAY, Pa. - It is furry and walks on all fours.

Beyond that, about the only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter's camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it is just a bear with a bad skin infection.

Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.

"We couldn't figure out what they were," Jacobs said of the images captured on Sept. 16. "I've been hunting for years and I've never seen anything like this."

He contacted the Bigfoot Research Organization, which pursues reports of a legendary two-legged creature that some people believe lives in parts of the U.S. and Canada.

"It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," said Paul Majeta of the bigfoot group.

However, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has a more conventional opinion. Agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.

"There is no question it is a bear with a severe case of mange," Feaser said.

Most "hunters" have yet to learn how to read the tracks/sign of an animal other than what is blatantly in their face.

This is exactly what is happening in this case. If not, why does one need the camera to tell them what happened there during the night, when one can simply read the story that the ground and surrounding vegetation are offering.

One look at the tracks would tell you, conclusively, if this animal was a bear or not. (Here is a hint, a bears "big toe" is on the outside of its foot. This is not the case with hominids. Wink)

This "hunters" prey seems more likely to hold a microphone or camera, and write articles, far more often, than it lurks in the woods.  Grin
