BigFoot
The Minneapolis Star Paper today posted a picture of a "BigFoot" picture. It was taken by a camera mounted on a tree that is activated by an animal etc that wanders by during the night.

It does and it doesn't look like a bigfoot. It was caught on camera on hunting ground in Remer, Mn.. near the Leech Lake Indian Reservation.

6. Yep that also doesn't look like it was taken with a trail camera.
Where is the date and time stamp so the hunter knows when and where the pic was taken? This is from a real trail camera.

16. Maybe the newspaper cropped the picture & took the time stamp out..
.. because it gives the time and date in the article:

"Although supposed Sasquatch sightings have occasionally been reported in Minnesota over the years, most have popped up in California and the Pacific Northwest. That is, until the rainy night of Oct. 24, at 7:20 p.m., when Kedrowski's camera clicked and captured a blurry image of, well, who knows what?"


That's a nice buck on your property.. did ya get it for Thanksgiving? I remember when you first posted about that. I have a few nice ones running around here on my property, too. I haven't been hunting myself this year, just been taking my 16 year old son, who decided he wanted to learn how to hunt this year. I want him to get one as I've already taken a nice buck like that.


Peace,

Ghost

17. Could be, but that looks really fake to me.
I don't discount that there may be large animals science doesn't know about though.

Yes I did get that buck on Thanksgiving. I could post a pic of it and almost posted a OP on it, but I decided not to open that can of worms on a Holiday.

26. Mine is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel and kind of old -- it wouldn't surprise me if it's a standard
feature now. BTW, congrats on your big buck! A beauty and good eating.

7. Agreed.
Around here at least, someone dressed like that would be fined for insufficient orange clothing. But that's at night so who knows why someone would be wandering the woods.

14. Yeah, well, that's sort of the purpose of the orange. We've got a lot of dumbfucks around here.
It is a pretty "red" area. I've lost track of how many times I've heard guys in camouflage at a bar bitching about having to wear orange. You would think that hunters would know that deer and other game see it as brown and that IT HELPS KEEP YOU FROM GETTING SHOT! PA has a $75 fine for "not wearing enough orange". I don't hunt so I'm not sure what constitutes "enough", but most of the hunters I see are quite well adorned in the color. It is mostly the younger "militia" types that do the bitching.

19. Yeah well those hunters are not exactly the type
that understand science. They are the kind that like to get drunk and play with firearms, and like to kill animals just to kill something.

20. They're also the ones that are a hazard in the woods.
I went to college in N.W. PA and gained a serious respect for people who hunt for food. Unfortunately, every year the area was invaded by idiots from Pittsburgh who came up in fancy cars, loaded coolers with beer and ice, and went out shooting at anything that moved. Then they would invade the bars in the afternoon and evening to get REALLY wasted and brag about stuff they shot at. I've always wondered just how many deer were wounded by these assholes and left to suffer. Real hunters make sure they have a clean shot and if it doesn't make a kill, they "hunt" down the animal to finish it off. They don't pull a Huckabee and pop a deer from too far away and then be too busy to bother with tracking it.

15. Obvious hoax
Bigfoot is native to the Washington Cascade mountains, and is never encountered east of the Palouse.

27. classic fuzzy "proof"
Seems like whenever there are photo images of bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, etc., they are ALWAYS very grainy and fuzzy.

By statistical odds, shouldn't there be a clear photo just once?
