Done that in the past. We have around 30 trail cams out. 7 of them being the new bushnell aggressor wireless black led trail cams. And with the advent of black led wireless trail cams, our research has gotten a little more serious. They are out in different research areas in several different states. Some of them are in our best areas and they are put in places that isn't that noticeable. In our best areas we don't want anything to be seen very easily so don't really want traditional infrared trail cams to give off any light and disturb our area. I don't subscribe to the fact that Bigfoot would know if a camera is placed high up in a tree and knows or was even aware of our presence in the area when we put them out unless one just see's it in the tree if it's not camouflaged. I know my house inside and out, I can't find my car keys sometimes, and Bigfoot is certainly no different. We do however, place audio recorders near our best placed trail cams. These are places members live the closest too. Our audio recorders only records for four days and nights continually before the batteries runs out and we have to go retrieve the audio and replace the batteries once a week. Some of our trail cams are out for around 4 months at a time before having the batteries replaced. Sorry, but there isn't enough Bigfoot in these large state and national forests to watch all the amounts of people in those parks day and night, to see what everyone is doing. Now we do put the trail cams and audio recorders out in areas we've had encounters, and they are also places people doesn't or rarely ever treads in these places. Bigfoot can only live in the hardest accessible places in these areas, and that's where we do our research. I will suggest this, Old forgotten out of the way mapped natural springs from very old topo maps is the first and best place to start your research in any area with a camera or not.

At the same time though we have a high profile individual on our side who is following in the footsteps of Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of". I have a sense that we may be hearing more from Mr. Lowe on the Bigfoot front. He has money and has evidently had the interest for many years. If his experience with what he says happened to him is on the level them I think he will get a lot more seriously involved in the discovery of this creature. I will give him some slack for now to see what the future brings as I think he will revisit the scene is a serious way later on.

Sometimes I think if it was strapped to a branch horizontally 30 or 40 feet pointing down to trigger anything walking under it maybe it might work better.

I think the sign we leave going to and from a camera could be part of the equation. If they are anywhere near as superlative at tracking as they are at stealth, they are likely to read our tracks in the forest as easily as we read a bear's tracks on an open sand bar. If so, every time we go to our camera, we leave a "trail of crumbs" that attracts their attention to the exact spot we don't want them to look. If our trails from numerous visits converge on a specific tree, they're going to look that tree over pretty carefully. That makes it much harder than merely hiding a camera in a great big nondescript forest, we have to hide that camera on the particular tree they're looking at. It raises the bar for hiding a camera a long, long ways. I'm addressing that by only visiting my cameras once a year or so, at least for the ones that have capacity to store enough pictures and battery life to go with it. I think the other situation that might offset that, if that's indeed what is happening, is high traffic areas that have a LOT of humans passing through to obfuscate the tracks going to and from the camera location. That could be hiking trails, campgrounds, or habituation sites. I think it might be possible to partially test this idea. The best human trackers we probably have are US Border Patrol. It would be interesting to see if they are able to more quickly locate trail cameras in the woods than run of the mill outdoors people. MIB

The logical answer is of course the camera operator is involved in the hoax.
