Bigfoot update

Since our Bigfoot article ran we have heard from 4 outdoorsy people who all have said the tracks are deer, like the following nice person's comment:

"I have just spent the last two weeks running all over in mature stands ofwoods around the western part of Lk Vermilion doing goshawk surveying forthe DNR. There are bigfoot tracks all over the place up there (similar snowlevels). I have been an avid outdoors person all my life. The tracks in thephotos were that of a smaller whitetail deer running through deep snow. Itwas spooked for some reason and was in full bound, and when moving like thisthey will plant their back legs where their front legs have been (they knowit is good footing). So the track you get has a rounded back end because ofthe deer ass being rounded (crouches a bit to launch out of the contactpoint) and the front of the track is rounded too because the front of thedeer is rounded to a degree. So if you feel really freaky you can easilyimagine that they are the elusive bigfoot. The problem is that if they hadfollowed these tracks long enough they would have ended and bigfoot wouldhave become a small deer walking."

The other comments we have recieved have all made virtually the same argument, and this was in fact the top prosaic contender all along. So make up your own mind, looks like we may have some deer tracks after all...
