Of course you meant to be offensive! Your an internet troll! No worries though, I dont give two shits what you think or if you think I suck or if Im just a big talker. Dont care! I do like to pack my mules in the mountains though. And I’m always armed. And if Bigfoot doesnt exist that will not break my heart either. Im having a good time.

Patterson and Gimlin may have not appeared to be humans to Patty initially, but I hardly think the horses prevented her from knowing there was a presence there to be concerned about. This is borne out by the fact she was already on the scoot when the camera came out. I am doubting there were any feral horses wandering around the vicinity so as to lull her into thinking a couple of horses at hand was nothing to be wary bout at all. My assumption has always been Patty had reasons to be seen as she was seen, horses or not. This is not an original thought of course, and hinges on the idea she young near by, and that her exposed route was the quickest and most direct way to get to them and get them out of there. Once again, dumb luck played much more an important role than the idea the horses somehow allowed them to see her in the open.

They were riding horses.... they absolutely were camoflauged. Their scent and their outline was completely masked. Your simply not thinkly broadly enough as to what is or is not camouflage. To you? Camouflage is just a pair of pants and shirt printed in a disruptive pattern. While that is a base its not the whole. Owning a tea spoon does not give you a tea set. I do not believe all reports like Bigfoot dumpster diving in Chicago. But again you think naively. The scent of a bigmac may indeed draw in a inquisitive primate. But the scent of the big mac gives away your element of surprise. The animal may approach undetected and observe you undetected and its curiousity satisfied, leave undetected. Hunters lure game...this is true enough, sometimes unwitting directly on top of themselves. Estrus scent, jelly donuts, game calls, etc. But as of yet? We have no proven method of attracting a Bigfoot. As for regular people reporting Bigfoot sightings? I would agree with you. Except that most of these sightings are while driving on roads. We humans have crisscrossed the landscape with roads. This is a real problem with documented species such as Grizzly bears, and the lack of ability to reach other breeding populations of bears. Its why the forest service gates roads so that endangered species can regain a toe hold without dodging cars. But here again if you see a Bigfoot crossing a road, its on high alert and getting out of the area. Amyhow great apes have trichromatic vision......thats a fact. If a large bipedal hairy creature known as Bigfoot is a reality in our forests? I think its safe to say its a member of the great ape family. And being bipedal it may be closer to us than our quadraped cousins. So it has trichromatic vision. So its eyes like ours zero in on bright colors. Again Camo is not the end all be all to anyone. No more than wearing a cowboy hat makes you a cowboy. But.....it is a step in the right direction. If your looking at not being observed.

I agree. We try to place the camera in such a way that it is not right in front of the target, but behind it. So the target never sees the camera. Like this: bobcat.mp4 We have tested this on humans with great success. Below are examples of clueless humans: C1-clueless4.mp4 Cam3-clueless1.mp4 c2-clueless4.mp4 C1-clueless3.mp4 The general concept is: To cover both directions, you place a second camera a good distance from the first, like this: The target will walk right by the first camera and (maybe) spot the second one, too late. It might even turn around to avoid it and face the first one.

This is a fantastic resource for the information you are looking for. https://www.trailcampro.com/

Here is the finished trail cam. Not great but it will at least give it better cover than not attempting any camo deception. Once the glue odor stops, I'll put it out in the field and see what I get. I have a zip tie in the back and will use a screw on which to hang it. Having a swinging door and a latch release makes it tad difficult to cover all of the seams.

^^ Just an excellent post
