Rick Jacobs Claims He Photographed Bigfoot

Hunter Rick Jacobs thinks he found Bigfoot after taking a photo of what he thinks is the world-reknowned sasquatch.

Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.

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.

"It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," said Paul Majeta of the research organization.

Pennsylvania Game Commission spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.
