One of these days I am going to deck mine out, similar to the way @wiiawiwbdoes it, with bark on it, but with a Faraday cloth wrap under the bark. I'm just not prepared to go to a good site that seems active and scare them off with a trail cam at this time. I may also have to pick up some of the passive IR sensored lights you speak of, just for camp.

I have my doubts. Passive is just that. The current cameras do not project any sort of beam so there's nothing to be seen. They have a sensor inside that can detect rapid changes in the amount of heat / light they receive across a very small portion of their surface. The only time anything ever projects from them is the flash. Stands to reason that if a BF saw the flash from the camera when a deer tripped it, then the BF might avoid the location of the camera, but the camera itself might as well be a lump of coal. If there's anything, it's the charge on the battery or the smell of the plastic. I doubt those, too, because 50% of cameras not place with thought to air movement are downwind of their target, undetectable by smell, and hopefully all of those placed with thought to air movement are out of the air current where they can be smelled. High pitched buzz / whine .. maybe, but that has been tested with some mighty sensitive detection equipment without any proof of detection. I tried an experiment a couple years ago. I set up a camera w/o batteries in the field of view of another camera, then tripped that camera at night to see what the camo plastic case looks like under I.R. It was a rectangular gray/black box, no sign of any camo. So supposing BF really can see in the infared end of the spectrum .. I would think that trail cams we place and thing are invisible would be rectangular boxes, plain as day, strapped to the tree, to them. Another thing .. observation. Though sometimes critters appear to see the cameras, I'm not convinced. I have thousands of pictures of deer, elk, bear, coyotes, skunks, etc which appear completely oblivious to the camera that is taking their picture. My cameras have a dark red cover over the IR flash and another over the lens. The one over the lens especially will glow blood red if it is hit by strong light from the side. That could be a piece of the detection puzzle.

Dear BFF Members, The Forum Management Team proposed and the Steering Committee approved releasing the raw SSR Dataset to the community in order to facilitate independent research. The SSR database will always be available if you need to use its capabilities, but we have received requests for the raw dataset many times in the past, so here it is. There will be regular releases posted in this thread as more data is classified. Attribution to "The Bigfoot Forums" is required for any published analysis. We hope it helps somebody advance the search.

I have a hard time trusting myself.

Trust sasquatch? I don't even trust most people.

Thx!

Nice! Just liked and subbed.

Looks awesome!

agree, The Youtube Channel is odd to say the least. along with some of the comments by the dude answering questions. Some of the Videos are interesting but some are just odd . They remind me greatly of some of Todd Standing sillyness from his documentary. The "suit" appears to be a ghille type thing. I surely dont know for sure but i take these for BS .

There appears to be at least a couple of other videos on there that use the same costume. His first and most popular video has 1.2 million views and was likely the initial motivator for him to continue with faking videos. The fact that he replies in the comments with lengthy explanations as a way of trying to further deceive people is more obnoxious than the videos themselves. There's some sort of mental illness component to people who do things like this. I've seen videos that are a one-off attempt at a fake but when someone spends close to a decade trying to fool people with fake bigfoot videos I'm forced to assume that they're probably not thinking straight.

^^^^ One of my GF's friends (since college) lives nearby. Very nice person but she's a bit of a .. geek .. so much so that she has her white mini-van decked out like a Star Trek shuttlecraft including graphics and stickers on the pain. It's a great camping rig .. if you're about 5'1" tall. She's got 6-8 motion sensor lights that mount to the car magnetically at night so anything / anyone approaching her vehicle gets lit up. They work. The stray cats around the campground we stayed at last fall kept setting them off .. they're very bright and rather irritating for those of us tent camping nearby. MIB

I didn’t downvote you, but I have to ask… At what point did the Hovey pic become indisputable? Was it prove. To not be the costume from Clawed? Honest question.

Its back on Dodge!
