“Did your father know that your uncle had pulled this “prank” before he submitted the photo to them?”

Yes, and like I said he wrote it in the letter he sent with the photo. Outdoor life didn’t print the complete letter.

“Was your father in on the “prank” or did he find out after discovering the photo on his game camera?”

No. He only knew of it once the film was developed and did some investigating. My parents actually assumed it was my brother or I who pulled the prank and we didn’t find out for a couple of weeks that it was my uncle.

“How many photos did the camera take of your uncle in the suit?”

Just the one.

Mr. Tomesh,

Thank you for the additional information regarding the game camera photo submitted to Outdoor Life by your father.

I have a couple of questions.

Did your father know that your uncle had pulled this “prank” before he submitted the photo to them?

Was your father in on the “prank” or did he find out after discovering the photo on his game camera?

How many photos did the camera take of your uncle in the suit?

What Outdoor Life neglected to print was the rest of the letter my father wrote to them explaining how the alleged “bigfoot” was really my uncle in a rented gorilla suit. So sorry, there are no cowardly hoaxers in my family. Except maybe my uncle, but I consider this more of a prank than a hoax.

re #13
I would like to think that if a “real” photo were taken, that, yes, many would call it a fake (as is bound to happen) and that then the debate would begin (as is also bound to happen) and that this debate would then lead to the kind of detailed scrutiny that would either prove or disprove the authenticity (or lead to ongoing debate for years and years the way the Patterson film has).

Looks to me like Mike got caught with his hand in the Sasquatch and couldn’t handle the pressure. Only thing worse than a hoaxer is a cowardly hoaxer.

what concerns me on this site is that we are always putting the blame on fakes. we point them out as soon as we see the picture but if a real pic is found would we call that a fake?

although a lot of the fakes are obivous just dwell on my words….

Not a surprise that it’s a hoax, but…

My girlfriend is actually from the Nort’woods of ‘Sconnie, and I hope that this fakery doesn’t deter real investigations up there. I’ve been to Washington state, and I tell you: the Northwoods of Wisconsin are just as isolated. If there’s a place for Sasquatch East of the Mississippi, its there. There are so few people north of, say, Wausau that anything could be up there.

Which is why, of course, that I find it interesting that the BFRO is beginning to set up expeditions out of Wausau to look for the Northwoods Bigfoot.
