RIDGWAY, Pa. (Oct. 28) - 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.

[/align][/align]Hunter Rick Jacobs shot a photo, right, that some believe is a bigfoot creature. He captured the images on Sept. 16 in the Allegheny National Forest, northeast of Pittsburgh.

What's Your Take?

[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]"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. The group posted a photo captured by Jacobs on its Web site, www.bfro.net.
"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.

How can you tell from that picture? Is there a better copy somewhere?
I guess we crashed their site...Its down.
A million PA hunters worrying over bigfoot would crash any server I guess.
It's a dang bear....GEEZ!

RE: PA mountain Lions..the least of your concerns
Another thread? As posted earlier, this is NOT a bear. This is my brother. He had a bad night at the bar and couldn't find his way home. I will contact the family and have him chained in the back shed again. Sorry for the ruckus.
