Pa. hunter's images stir Bigfoot debate

It was dead from the moment everyone agreed it was a bear...

and not even TEDDY.
 
RIDGWAY, Pa. - It's 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's 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 told The Bradford Era

Man in suit. I know if you see the thing you're not trying to get all up in its face, but....i think it's a man in suit.
 
It's a frickin' mangy bear. There's even bear cubs hangin' around.
 
What kind of hunter, aims, and shoots with a camera first.... he should get his license revoked.
 
It would be nice if people actually discussed this intelligently without being stupid. Many experts on the Bigfoot Research Organization and other scientists compared photos of mangy bears with this one, so far the conclusion is that it's a young primate of some sort.

However, they're not jumping to conclusions until they find a photo that matches exactly that of the mangy bear or young Bigfoot.

For those saying a Hunter should shoot it? You do realize that it's against the law to actually shoot a Bigfoot right? More than likely the hunter set up his camera on a tree to catch a shot of Bigfoot.
 
How the hell is it against the law to shoot a creature that hasn't even been proven to exist?:huh:

Well, there's a police force in Michigan that practices zombie emergency plans. It's always best to have all your bases covered... just in case.
