Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'll ask again, is there a link to this claim/report? I'm doubly curious now, because of tirademan's link to the Bushnell $1,000,000 Sasquatch photo contest. RayG If that was on paper it will probably have to be scanned before it could be available and it still don't prove this was a Sasquatch. I remember Bushnell being involved with those pictures they did look for proof by offering a reward and couldn't find any. I've seen their link and I think it's probably still open I'll see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Here it is http://www.fstrailcamcontest.com/Rules/ They ended the search with no proof of any Sasquatch anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lesmore Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Like the old chimp photo I still think I can get in that position better than a bear could I guess I'm just camera shy. Certainly looks like some member of the Ape family....but the picture is hardly conclusive evidence of BF. Where was it taken, what is it aside from maintaining it's a BF, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The Jacobs photos do not depict a bear *because* there were other bears in the vicinity at about the same time. They depict a bear because, despite the odd angles and sparse pelage, the anatomy of the subject is entirely consistent with that of a young black bear. We are simply not used to seeing thin, lightly-haired, young bears and its proportions look odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Forbig Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The Jacobs photos do not depict a bear *because* there were other bears in the vicinity at about the same time. It wasn't about the same time it was 27 minutes before and they never returned. That in itself raises some serious questions. The sizes were determined using the same technique later used at the Kenny Mahoney case on Monster Quest, and then on the McKenzie river with Bobo as a model. The best attempt at measuring it produced 22 inch long arms and a 18 3/4 torso. Those proportions are impossible for it to be a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That poor racoon looks aweful Slabdog! I'd seen the bear pic before and am firmly in the bear camp no matter how much this topic is debated. I think that, as Saskeptic pointed out, we're just not used to seeing lightly haired bears at that angle. It would have taken a bit of thought to identify that racoon if you hadn't labeled it.

Guest gershake Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'd readily accept it as a bear if someone could point out to me where the ears are. IMO, the picture is just inconclusive either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that, as Saskeptic pointed out, we're just not used to seeing lightly haired bears at that angle. It would have taken a bit of thought to identify that racoon if you hadn't labeled it. An engineer plus scientists from Duke worked out the size and displayed pictures that were published in a science magazine for young school students. Both staked out measurements and a model were used on this creature. This was done in the very same spot where it stood using "that angle" at the location where it was originally filmed using the same Bushnell camera strapped on the same tree. Primate sized models precisely matched the original picture. Edited July 18, 2011 by Forbig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Check out the proportions of the Jacob's creature as it gets hit by a police cruiser. It's in 4x4 and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argeed, I would also like to know why a bear would contort its body in such a ridiculous manner just to put its head to the ground in photo #2.

Yes I do, somebody else asked me the other day and I didn't but I went to the library where I first seen it. It was ISSN 1442-2212 some of the engineers work was also talked about here: http://s2.excoboard.com/BFRO/151130/1899207 There's also some videos on YT I've seen that have shown people comparing models... one has some of the engineers work.
