Seeing Cryptids: The Problems

Check the math.

It covered 30 yards in two leaps.

30 yards = 90 feet.

That's 45 feet per leap.

Yet, this story has not been "blown out of the water".

But that's not the end of it.

The witness never said that the two leaps were the same distance and there's no reason to assume that they were. He only says that it covered 90 feet in two leaps.

Pretend that Bigfoot exists and that this one is capable of huge leaps. It's 90 feet away from a pig that it wants to kill and eat. Why would it make two leaps that are the exact same distance? Is it because 45 feet is the absolute maximum for a single leap and the pig just happens to be exactly two maximum leaps away?

What I would expect (purely speculation) from such a creature is to close the distance as rapidly and efficiently as possible within its physical capabilities. Presuming that it cannot cover 90 feet in a single leap, I would expect the first leap to be at its maximum possible distance of physical capability and the second leap to be of shorter distance and with high precision so that the creature lands right next to the pig and does not "undershoot" or "overshoot" the target.

An example of this would be:

First leap is 60 feet.
Second leap is 30 feet.

It could also be possible that this Bigfoot is indeed capable of leaping more than 45 feet and it knows this and it chooses to split the total distance (90 feet) exactly in half with two leaps.

I think we should not necessarily assume that each of the two leaps was 45 feet since the witness did not specifically say that.

I did read this entire paper and found it to show that spiral fractures were only to have been found occurring naturally at watering holes where bones were lying on hard pan surfaces. As you can see from my picture, that is sphagnum moss within a bog. Thanks for the validation that this is not something that would occur naturally.

It obviously occurred naturally.

Sure. Deer was poached and dressed in situ, the carcass left to natural processes.

ETA: I'm not a forensic scientist and neither are you. You have no idea when/how those fractures occurred yet entertain the most absurd explanation possible. A 9-ft 600-lb bipedal ape done it. Before you folks start assigning attributes and characteristics, you might want to first establish existence. But that's no fun.

1) Known animal(s) dragged it 3 miles (or more) away from the roadkill site.
2) Human activity (legal or illegal) but without the intent to hoax, fool, or deceive anyone who would come upon this.
3) Intentional hoax.
4) Scientifically undescribed or presumed extinct animal(s) dragged it there. This could be Dogman, Bigfoot, Thunderbird, Sabre-tooth Cat, Dire Wolf, etc.
5) Paranormal, supernatural, or extraterrestrial activity.
6) Something else.

I think you are missing the point of the paper.

Not only that, but how on earth would an accurate 3 miles from a road and deep in a bog preclude black bear, wolf, coyote, or dog as the agent of the spiral fracture? NL, your leap to a bigfoot conclusion is even more impressive than the 15m leaps of a hog-hunting Texas squatch.
 
It's hard to find a place in the US 3 miles from the nearest road.

In Northern Minnesota? Really?

I challenge you to give me GPS coordinate 3 miles from the nearest road in northern Minnesota.

How did a giant biped get deep into, and then back out of, a bog?

And where are the tracks?

Footie got there using the same logging road/two-track/snow machine track as NL.

He avoided sinking in the muskeg using beaver as footwear.

He might have rode in on Babe the blue ox though. No evidence for that one however . . .

Interesting that the breaks are in the exact same location on both legs. I think that that means something and isn't a simple coincidence.
