Sasquatch tracks in snow

All pretty funny replies! Keep em coming!

The tracks on the left are of the person who found the tracks.

So, if anyone ever finds tracks that look like these this year, please PM me ASAP. A very popular TV show has OK'd the use of a helicopter to find the originator of the tracks. Time is the key. If we have another heavy snow year like last year, the tracks could get covered up very quickly.

Lots of jokes, but no one has given a plausible, realistic theory on what made those tracks.

Here are some moose tracks in snow.

Seriously, those are melted out tracks from any one of the local animals.

Deer, coyotes, whatever can't walk through the deep soft snow, so they bound, leaving holes in the snow that are several feet apart. When the sun melts them out what your picture shows is what bigfoot hunters call sasquatch tracks.

was gonna say, i see them in my backyard up here in the UP all the time. First time i seen them i was freaked out too, i thought i might actually be on to something... a deer for sure

Ok. I respect your opinion. I've seen animals do that too.

You wouldn't happen to know where I can find any photos or write ups on animals doing so, would you? I've had a hard time finding anything that resembles an animal bounding like that.

This photo was not very deep snow.

These animals must be bounding several feet out of the snow so they do not leave any kind of drag marks in between bounds.
 
How deep is that snow?

Mule deer bound all the time. Coyotes bound in deep snow too. So do bobcats.
 
Typical Bigfoot hoax...the person who "found" the tracks, who's tracks conveniently are right next to the "suspect" tracks, has a left and right foot stamp that they are using...notice how the "Bigfoot" tracks line up one in front of the other? Now look at how the real person tracks are off center left and right...that is how bi-pedals walk...have to for balance side to side, especially in snow. If a creature large enough to make those tracks walked like that, it would fall over, or at least not be able to walk in a nice straight line like the pics.
 
I saw a fairy today, I swear the truth, he/she was in Boulder with manpantyhose on riding a bicycle down the middle of the road!

The tracks were made when the snow was deep and powdery some time last winter, maybe even shortly after the first heavy snowfall of the season. As the snow melts in the spring tracks made and covered by new snow through the winter reappear. Snowmobile tracks even do this. After the tracks reappear in the spring the snow melts them out and they get large, some very large.

This is documented in the book "We never Got Away", by Jack Nelson. I'm going on memory here, I read the book about 45 years ago. Jack and Kitty Nelson took a job as winter care takers of a bureau of reclamation reservior and dam in central Washington called Bumping Lake about 1911. They Ended up spending the rest of their lives there.

Snow depth in that area averages about 10 to 20 feet through most of the winter. There is a chapter in the book about the reappearing and melting tracks.

In deer and elk country you should be able to find fresh tracks like these the first day after the first heavy snowfall. They will have been made by the deer and elk heading for the low country.

I would certainly like to make sure everyone is clear on something. I do not believe in "bigfoot". I'm just curious about that kinda stuff.

Do the "human" tracks follow the other tracks the whole way?

The theory on why sasquatch tracks are linear is that (iof course assuming the creatures exist) the structure of the way the leg bone connects to the hip bone is very different than a humans'. The leg goes out to the side initially, then continues the step moving forward. Some say that this "feature" is even evident in the Patterson-Gimlin Film from 1967. (The guy who came forward and "confessed" that he was the guy in the monkey suit failed a lie detector test. Gimlin, the other man that was present that day passed a lie detector test.)

Another main difference is in the foot. Tracks in mud indicate a "mid-tarsal" break.

Now these are not my theories, just others in that field.
 
I have a pic. I was going to hold on to it to make some serious chedda when released. But I just can't contain myself any longer. Are you ready for this? The creature that made those tracks? The elusive "bigfoot" of ledgend and lore? Ladies and gentlemen I give you BIGFOOT!!!!

Why don’t you ask bigfoot. He is on these forums on a regular basis. Maybe he was hanging out up there. You never know unless you ask!:D

There are those who need to believe in something so badly they will invent anatomic imposibilities in order to explain the hoax...those performing the hoax are rotfltao!! :D

And, I dont know if the human tracks follow the other tracks the whole way...I'm only commenting on the picture posted.

Yea you are correct. I was running for my life, and this huge fat girl was chasing me. Must have ran for miles. That gal must have lost 100 to 150 pounds, The further we ran the better she looked. She was damn nice. Squarehead you are a dough head.

SnowFlake -
Very good agrument and explanation. I buy it.

The photo is somewhere on the first page.

The two things that keep me interested in this subject are - 1. eyewitness reports dating back well over 400 years, including many indian tribes (where the name sasquatch came from). If every single report is bogus and all of the people that see them are lying and they are all a fabrication, then it is by far the largest hoax ever conceived in the history of man. 2. Footprints. Several experts in fingerprinting says that the dermal ridges cannot be faked in some of the casts of footprints. (I guess anything can be faked, if enough effort is put into it) Why on earth would someone "fake" some of these footprints that people find 30 miles away from any road and extremely unlikely to find by anyone?
