There was a story floating around the cyber ether (coast to coast I think) where about two or three years ago a guy claimed to know about something similar. there was a pic. of a hide (looked like a gilly suit) Same guy? P.S. Elk shoulders yes but you dont expect to find eight foot primate blocking do you?

It’s a hilarious piece of bunkum!

$500 is a lot of scratch! But oh my it is so tempting.

I took a vote among my friends and everyone agrees I should be ‘allowed’ to get it! Of course, they all want me to buy it so they can ‘borrow’ it to peek out of the back of their SUVs, or in through their neighbors windows. Humph.

talk about wives saying, “HELL NO YOU CAN’T HAVE THAT”…my girlfriend is extra sensitive to almost anyting being killed, let alone mounted. real or not, that thing is amazing. I know at least 3 people who would love to have that thing (not including me). I would, but where would I put it? great work who ever you are. I can see why many are saying the neck area is from something in the antelope family, does kind of protrude out rather than up. Not to mention, primates (like us) have noticable muscle about where it ends that isn’t there.

A few years ago, e-bay had another Sasquatch mount made from the rear end of a deer.

(Yawn… mmm… mmm…) NOT EVEN CLOSE. A nice supposed rendering of something more akin to Cro Magnon or Neandertal, etc., but absolutely NOT our North American squatchy.

Why? (Think anatomy and body morphology, folks.) Because as clearly seen in the rotating camera views above, the head sits high atop a longish muscular neck which sits atop the shoulders. Even an elaborate hoax like this has gotten one of the most salient features of the Big Guy utterly WRONG. It begs way too much of the anthropomorphic fallacy.

In reality squatchy’s almost non-existent and therefore incredibly short neck holds the head firmly against the top portion of the chest, not thrust above it as shown here in the ‘cave man’ bust. This fellow in the pictures could rotate his head, left to right, human-style, without any strain. Squatchy CAN NOT DO THAT. He has to move his entire body if he wants to view what is going on 90 degrees to his left or right.

Russian reports of the Almasty, or other of the several different proto-hominid species, from the Urals and Caucasus would be a more likely match for this bust. But no, THIS IS NOT the North American SQUATCHY.

$500 for an opening bid is too high. I’ve already e-mailed the seller to see if he’d consider selling it for a bit less if no one bids on it during the course of auction.

It would be a fun conversation piece, and I’d be willing to pay a decent price for it–just not $500!

Boy, sure would like to call that my own. However, I’ve just procured a swamp monster and a merman from Safuan.
Maybe he has other monsters available for a down payment.
