There exists, unfortunately a lot of misconception regarding the proportions of Sasquatch foot size in comparison to human and animal foot prints. Its been often claimed that Sasquatch footprints are nothing more than bear tracks mis-identified.
My photograph here shows this is not the case at all. I placed alphabetical assignments to each cast here, A is my own human foot, B is a Sasquatch footprint cast by Al Hodgson at Bluff Creek California in 1963, C are the left and right Patterson sasquatch footprints cast by Roger Patterson in 1967 at Bluff Creek California, D are black bear tracks I cast in 2005 at Bluff Creek California, E are Elk tracks I cast on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State in 2005, and F is a Deer track also which I cast on the Carbon River in Washington State in 2005. The casts all together shows the proper size relation of each creature.
This photograph is of a human hand (mine) and a sasquatch hand, many people are not aware that there have been a few hand impressions left by Sasquatch's cast, this is one such impression cast in north eastern Washington State in 1972.
The issue I have here is that the hind foot of the bears is always left out. That is the paw that resembles sasquatch feet the most, especially if it is snow, and has melted a bit to enlarge the print both in length and width. Also, because bears have overstepping, prints can be made to look like sasquatch prints very easily.

I like the bigfoot hand print, I have never seen one before.
