[QUOTE="Cryptozoology News, post: 156043, member: 15739"] We just received a pair of photographs from a reader in North Carolina asking for an opinion as to what the animal tracks contained in the images could be. After an interview with the photographer, Cryptozoology News obtained the following information about the pictures: My name is Luke Walker. I’m 35 and a creative strategist originally from New York. I moved to Charlotte North Carolina in November and have been spending many weekends camping and hiking in the local national forests and game lands. These photos were taken in the Birkhead Mountain game lands in the Uwharrie National forest near Farmer, North Carolina. I checked my GPS tracks and see I was between 2.5 and 3 miles into the trail when I found these prints. I found another single print another half mile in. It was approximately 4:30 pm in first instance and around 5 p.m. in the second.

There were no other campers, hunters or hikers on the Thornhead trail incline. It had rained the two days prior into that morning so the mud was pristine, still very wet and impressionable. There were bobcat tracks, deer tracks and a small bear track near these much larger [I]seemingly [B]humanoid[/B] prints[/I]. If you see the photos below, I did a crude exposure filter to bring out contrast details and it’s somewhat more evident that these are indeed human like feet, absolutely not bear tracks, which would be the only large mammal in the region.

The size of these prints are hard to put into perspective even next to my boot; the boots I wear at size 11 1/2 are extremely thick and bulky. My bare foot would have been dwarfed and I can only deduce these are a size 23 foot, barefoot in the deep woods 3 miles from civilization.

When I got back home I searched “Bigfoot sightings NC” and there was a recent local news article about sightings.
