Bigfoot Cast Collection Appears On Website

I'm sure those produced copies are made of an injectable resin of some sort.

So, in your opinion, the manufacturer is misrepresenting the ultimate origin of the object? Lying about it?

Have we heard from the manufacturer?

From my post #77.

After getting back home and having the chance to look up the fellow who made the casting I found out some more interesting things about this particular casting. The casting was made in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area on the bank of the North Fork of the Sun River in Montana. This fellow lived in Montana and was an avid hiker. He told me that since he did quite a bit of hiking he always hoped to get a clear, detailed cast of a Grizzly track and started carrying a casting compound during his hikes. As a side note, he also told me that his mother was an art teacher and that she had concocted the powder that he was carrying from several casting materials and he did not know what casting medium she used or what other additives she might have put into the mix, but she told him that her mix was made specifically to capture details. As we can see her mix worked very well.

Please read what I posted. My ultimate question: Is the info posted on Melissa's blog concerning this object bogus?

I don't know, but that info is available anywhere...

Oh really? "Mother's Special Casting Formula" info is widely available?

This seems to be the original clay model for the Thorson sculpture you posted. It is similar to but not the same as the Melissa blog thing.

I don't see the hollows in the claws on that one you posted there.

I wonder if Mother also added the hair details in the clay, and carved the claws out a little bit

It isn't at all the same as the one on Hovey's blog.

LTC posted artwork by Eric Thorson. I searched his site and found the original clay for his paw sculpture.
 
What I genuinely don't know is if a bear can leave an impression that detailed (with complete claws) out in the wild. I doubt it but don't know for sure. I mean, shouldn't the claws obliterate their own impression as they are pulled out of the substrate for the next footstep?
