      Opinions on Sasquatches and Game cams

      By Catmandoo · Posted

      In the previous century, we learned that for 'man in the street' photography, a camera held up to eyes was intimidating. Less conspicuous and almost invisible / blending in was / is the 'twin lens reflex' camera held at gut level. 'TLR' cameras are not extinct. Unfortunately, very few members / lurkers of this forum can handle a TLR and film. Film does not have AI (hint). For 35mm and larger formats there are 'waist level finders' to shift the optics away from eye level. Evolution in the digital world has view finders that flip out and rotate for various viewing angles. For hand held shooting, you may want to practice holding a camera / camcorder at your belly button. A stabilizer complicates the procedure.   We hold weapons up to our eyes for optical sighting and animals seem to understand that posture. The exception is 'cowboy shooting' and that worked for Rambo and John Wayne.

      Just found this recently, even though it is a few years old.   https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/jordan-grider   So tragic accident, unprepared camper, or something more sinister? Based on what I read, I do not think the wolves attacked him while he was still living.

      I've seen this behavior, but I do not have reason to think it is related to any concept of firearms.  I'd call it 'recognizing predatory behavior'.  I used to keep goats and raised up to 100 kids per year.  To sell breeding stock, I listed photos on a website.  It was amusing, and frustrating, to see how some (not all) of these goats would go into full panic when I'd point a camera at them and raise it to my eye.  Some would even scream as they ran away.  However, I could get good photos of them by shooting from the hip.  Apparently shooting from the hip is not predatory behavior?    Similarly, I've noticed that some coyotes lolygag in the camera's IR while it's recording video and other coyotes are startled and scramble away.  I've also been with a group of 4 people watching 2 bull moose.  Neither our side-by-side approaching nor getting out and talking bothered the moose.  Squeezing an empty water bottle sent them running.

      I think you overestimate their fear of guns.   It's not the gun, it's the person holding it.    SCARED people with guns are dangerous, unpredictable, volatile.   Calm, confident people with guns are just calm, confident people .. not a threat.   It's the fear that turns the gun into a hazard.   Humans telegraph fear quite loudly in our posture, motions, and so on.    I've had a couple of sightings, camp visits at night, been punked / messed with .. and every time, minus one, I had a gun, often a hunting rifle slung over my shoulder, not something hidden.    It ain't about the gun, it's about the human.

      I have always believed they think anything held by a human is a gun.
