It wouldn’t be a contest without the possible Big Foot photo right!Field & Stream
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
I find it a bit suspicious how blurry it is, even this close up. I’ve seen a bunch of these photos of deer and bears while helping my brother check his game cameras, and I never saw anything this blurry with everything around it so sharp.
It you look at it up close, it looks like someone may have used a blur tool on it…
Doesn’t look like a Bigfoot to me. Arms are way too short, the overall body build looks way more like a bear, and the hind legs seem to show a bear running through the forest, not a Bigfoot walking quadrupedally.
Looks more like a monkey.
One of the commenters on the F&S website suggested it was a lynx. No sure about that. The head looks wrong, but it’s moving so it could be a foreshortening issue. The front paws/legs don’t look right for a lynx either, but could be same issue. What’s the white box, center left in the background?
Looks more like they captured a picture of The Flash. Someone should call the Justice League to let them know.
Hello, we need to get serious eyes on this shot. We need a where and a when and some computer enhancement. This sort of thing is just odds on bound to be true someday. Like the internet story about a dying/deceased body found in the wake of a Forrest fire..it could happen.
That’s a bear.
Seriously, somebody me Don Jeffrey Meldrum.
Uncle Harry, is that you? Laughable
I want to believe.
I would say Yes it could be a Bigfoot, But there’s no Crest on the head, It’s too round, Plus trail cams rarely do motion blurs, A sequence of the photos before and after would maybe help, This is up for grabs.
Nothing immediately recognizable. It could be more than one type of large animal blasting through such as a female elk. No second snapshot?
Hmmm. A TRULY oddly-shaped head… legs look too short, knees in the wrong place. And that BACK looks like it’s got a RUG on it!!
I’m not biting on this. Not yet.
My brain while starring at this image is saying, “Whoa, It’s a Bigfoot.” But the head is all wrong. Unless it offended the same Witch Doctor from BeatleJuice and got the Magic powder that shrunk its head.
Looks really odd to me. As a person who uses Photoshop daily as part of my job, this looks like something that’s been doctored. Nothing about it cries real to me. It almost looks like a bear on the rear end and I have no idea what’s going on with the front end.
As usual, a photo of Bigfoot is blurry. Trail cams get thousands of clear pictures every day, but when it’s a supposedly a Bigfoot, it comes out distorted. I understand they can move incredibly fast, but…
I’ll keep hoping for that photo that really shows us something detailed.
The white block in the background looks to be a salt block/lick, deers are attracted to them to get salt.
The posture doesn’t appear to be bipedal, and the forelimb looks to slim to belong to a large non-human primate.
It is obviously blurred, but doesn’t appear to be motion blur.
If not photoshop and abuse of the blur option, it’s got to be a bear. Legs are short and the upper torso doesn’t look ape enough to me.
It looks like it is wearing a football helmet.
I see nothing here that looks like a lynx.
I think it is the often-photographed Blobsquatch.
Photoshopped.
Well, if he was trying to duplicate the Jacobs photos, nice job!
Other than that, I don’t know what the heck that is, and neither do you.
STRONG BAD: And then, one day, the Bear-holding-a-shark got the break all made-up creatures dream of. {Taps the Bear-Shark with his stick a couple times} {The screen becomes more and more blurry, and zooms further and further into Strong Bad, on each word:} Blurry photographic evidence.
{Cut to Homestar Runner}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now, I’m a little fuzzy on the details. But I was in the woods, walking my dog, Pom Pom. All of a sudden, he started growlin’ and poopin’ all over the place {chuckles}. And that’s when I saw it.
{Static, then cut to a very fuzzy video reel of the Bear-Shark walking through the woods.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover} A very. Scary. Monsterm’n.
Maybe a bear. One of my first thoughts was a SHEEP! The whole thing looks highly hinky to me. Probably motion-blurred, at least.
Of course, we can’t see the original image, right?
Can’t see the original image? As far as I know, that is the original image. If it really is a game cam image, it has the date and time stamp on the bottom border of the photo. I just resized it to fit it on the page here. Click on the photo and it will display in the original size as it was posted on Field & Stream’s website.
If you follow the left forelimb up, you can see the bear’s muzzle pointing downwards, and then the left eye right above that. The ears are huge, though, big mickey-mouse things. Maybe it’s a cub caught at a bad angle, hence the out-sized ears.
PETE FISCHER: wasn’t that story from Thom Powell’s book, and took place in northern Nevada?
I will say that anyone looking at this blog should do themselves a favor and click on over to the site, and see all the photos. Some really cool stuff there.
@DWA;
The only ones I saw with any motion blur were the pair of deer boxing each other. There was one of a deer raised on its hind legs, looked like it was surprised by a raccoon, and that one had very little motion blur, but had to be moving.
Just thinking if the blurring here is motion, it had to be moving quite fast.
I do agree with the possibility it’s a bear cub, their ears look large in relation to their body.
