I just retrieved a trailcam and 4 days ago, at 4am, the trailcam was triggered by a floating, see-through object that moves about. The trailcam was there for a while and the object is not on any other videos, before or after, from this location. Any idea what it is and what caused it?

I don't use scents much. I have some apple cover scent. One time a bottle ruptured inside my jeep. At the time, I was hauling my daughter back from weekend visitation, and I thought it was the apple scented shampoo she used. Dang, that's strong! When I found what it really was, I was real happy I had not been using skunk cover scent. I have some bear-in-heat lure somewhere. I'm going to pour that over some hippie rafter's ice chest ... when that poor SOB gets back to town after watching a bear "hump" his ice chest out across the sand bar, he's goin' to whup his drug supplier's rear end for selling him spiked weed. Or so I imagine it. Seriously, when I hunt, I hunt the wind. Worked for a few hundred thousand years, seems to work for me, too. MIB

In the Canadian Military, we had two go-to suppliers for IMP's, "Freddy Chef", and an American manufacturer, "The Wornick Company". These are boil-in-a-bag type IMP's, and provide approximately 3200 calories per day.

But remember that the one you see, is possibly a decoy for the ones you do not, and that 6 1/2 footer could very well be the "runt"....

Male deer are called Bucks. And it doesn't work like that. I've used scent when muzzleloader hunting in Iowa and it was fun to watch the bucks come in with their noses to the ground, but as soon as they detect a human, they are gone.

Awwwwwww! Bear and his monkey!

Yes, a lot of people say they thought it looked very human like. I know a lot of hunters, when asked why they didn't shoot it, say it looked too much like a human. So it would throw your brain for a loop, thinking "that looks like a human, but I know it isn't". Many sighting are but a few seconds, then the BF walks away. Your brain is still coming to grips with what you are seeing. That's a big reason why people don't get good photos, or shoot one, it's gone before the brain kicks in. That's all just my opinion from the numerous sightings I have read about or heard about.

I don't know about my personal minimum but do know from one encounter where I was trying to get a BF to break cover that about 100 yards was that bigfoot's own minimum distance. That is the point that it growled at me, and I decided to back out. I suspect if I saw an adult male at the same distance I would not have attempted to close on it. 9 feet of adult BF has to be scary. In that case, unknown to me, another had flanked me and was closing on me from behind. When the one in front growled, the one behind me broke off a tree. I fully believe that it is not the one you see that will get you, it might be one behind you. Of course accidently getting closer likely led to me getting zapped with infrasound during another encounter. From the depression of vegetation, next to a log, I was within 10 yards of that one. It was probably good that I did not see that one. In two steps it could have grabbed me. That is rule one in bigfoot research; be careful what you wish for. I would really prefer to be looking through a spotting scope at a BF 200 yards away that does not know I am there. For those that expect to bring down a charging BF with a weapon, 800 or 900 lbs of charging bigfoot would chew up more distance to fall than a similar weight bear just because of leg length. Those that have downed a charging bear probably have the best practice for BF.

Beat me to it. I was going to say that hiflier's 10 yards and two seconds were extremely optimistic. Hope your phone/camera/video equipment is not damaged to the point that we cannot get the video off of it when the search party finds it out in the woods; it will be the greatest found footage yet! (think Michigan dogman video)

The line? Looks like a spider web to me. Attached to a swaying branch on the left side of the camera.

My only personal experience is one trackway found in the early 1970's in California. Forty five years of living in southcentral Alaska and hunting throughout Alaska has produced no further personal experience, with the possible exception of a strange wood knocking that I thought was a moose rapping his antlers on a tree. My family displays what I believe is common; amusement at my interest, but deep down inside, they're open to the possibility, and they fear it, especially the females. They know me, and if I'm so certain, they pretty much accept the likelihood that sasquatches exist, so like a grizzly bear, they are so afraid of them, they don't want to have an experience with them. My youngest daughter lives to buy me sasquatch shirts and such stuff. My Dad, who grew up in a Louisiana bayou, became a quiet believer after the PG film and Argosy article was published. He was the first person who suggested to me to leave them living in peace and forget about "discovery", because it would b best for all concerned to leave them be.
