There are a couple things to consider. 1) None of the current trail cameras use a "trip beam" to trigger the camera, so there is no projected light, IR or otherwise, for a sasquatch to see EXCEPT when the flash is happening. That is an assumption based on decades old, decades-abandoned, technology. The only chance they'd have to see light, IR or otherwise, from the camera is when something else is getting its picture taken. 2) Cameras have plastic bodies .. probably out-gas. 3) Cameras have batteries and capacitors. a) Capacitors make noise .. some humans hear them, some do not .. when they charge. b) Some people speculate BF can detect electrical fields. 4) I've done some experimenting .. as seen by an IR camera by IR flash, our "camouflaged" cameras are plain / bland square, artificial-looking boxes on the sides of trees, not camouflaged at all, so if BF sees in IR, our cameras are probably glaringly obvious and out of place. 5) I'm a hunter. When I hunt, I don't walk down the game trails, I walk 25 - 200 yards off to the side so I can see without being seen. Most all of those bajillions of trail cameras are set watching the game trails, not watching the woods for things watching the game trails. 6) BFs are tall. This, too, would lead them to walk in different places than short critters like deer walk. 7) Most hunters do not leave their trail cameras out year around, they're only out seasonally. 8) Cameras require visits to change batteries, swap SD cards, plus putting them out and picking them up. I usually only visit mine 1-2 times a year but hunters often go back every week or two. That's a lot of tracks going to an otherwise nondescript place for no apparent reason and even if a human maybe doesn't notice them, a sasquatch might well. Plus scent. I think the odds of a picture taken by cameras set up for deer / elk / etc instead of specifically set up for sasquatch don't have a lot of chance. Groups who are using trail cameras specifically for bigfoot research have a better chance but IMHO they need to do a better job of hiding their stuff and they need to leave it absolutely alone for longer periods of time rather than having their curiosity draw them to the camera too frequently. People think that numbers are the answer. Numbers don't matter if ineptly or inappropriately used. Those cameras are just clutter. So how many are really useful of all those millions? A few hundred? Maybe 1000? The rest are relying on luck.

I would agree on both points. Why would it avoid trail cams if it’s ok coming up to people’s houses to slap walls, steal meat out of freezers, or invade camps while people sleep? If we are to take all stories at face value then it’s not afraid of man or man made objects. Note, I do not take stories at face value. I’d venture it’s due to extremely low population. Needle in the Ol’ haystack.

If I had footage of Sasquatch that I thought might 'blow the minds of the world', I'd probably ask Bill if he would take a look. It depends on the motivation I guess. If proving Bigfoot to Science with video is the goal then that is probably impossible. If making money is the goal then maybe arrange a non-disclosure meeting with a Channel like Discovery, History, PBS, etc. If blowing the minds of the world is the only goal then, by all means, post it here (highest Res. possible of course). You will get credit for the video if no one has seen it already somewhere else and, there are people here with skills and reasoning far beyond the average youtube viewer. It will either be considered most likely real, possibly real, obviously fake or, it will be ripped to shreds. Only one way to find out.

I have come to believe that sasquatches are a human species, mostly because of their physical morphology and the confusing DNA analysis returns we've seen reported. I suspect they're curious about our stuff just like many other mammals and birds are, but I don't believe they have any concept of photography or the capturing of images. But I could be wrong......... I do believe that many of them have a pretty good concept of firearms, because I full well know that some bears and crows do. I have have had two bears react like a criminal when a rifle was either pointed at them or the bolt was worked (even with other human noises going on at the time), and I even found that crows would disregard me pointing a broom at them, but would take off like their tail feathers were on fire if I put the broom down and picked up the shotgun. One young bear, trying to get me to leave a pool full of salmon, put on a full show of threats and intimidation while I fished. He woofed, jumped up and down on his front feet, paced back and forth, and even walked over to a tree, stood on his back feet, and reached up as high as he could and scratched up the tree while looking at me. "Do you see how big and scary I am?" But when I put my rod down and unslung my rifle, the look on his face as he retreated into the brush was absolutely priceless. He knew exactly what that rifle was all about. I'm quite sure that sasquatches are at least as intelligent as bears and crows, and probably more so. They might be even more intelligent than many of the Homo sapiens running around out there. Indeed, we all were taught how to be "human", and if we're robbed of that early childhood development, we're likely never to catch up. There is a lot of research to prove this: https://www.cpc.unc.edu/news/early-deprivation-continues-to-affect-brain-development-well-into-adolescence/ Bears are taught by their mama how to be a bear. Sasquatches get early sasquatch development, too. The feral human cases in the past prove that homo sapiens can be raised as canines, and that's what they'll think they are, never to fully recover even after rescue and attempts to retrain them. Can we raise a baby sasquatch to be as intelligent as a homo sapien? Dunno. We taught a female gorilla a vocabulary of over 1000 words in sign language. She could hold conversations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koko_(gorilla)

Just upload to a video hosting site like dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/ You can make it private and then just share the link for the video with anyone of your choosing. You can always upload to YouTube at a later time for the public.

I suspect they recognize tech as a human thing. The don't seem to overly trust us and by extension, our stuff. Exceptions of course, but there seems to be a difference between what we've seemingly tried to hide (cameras) and things we just leave on the ground (grader tires).

Please realize promises such as yours have been made numerous times here on BFF. It's only natural a fair amount of doubt be cast every time claims such as yours are made. That being said, knock us out.

4 Stages of of hoax. 1. Make an extraordinary claim 2. Promise to make it public on a future date, hyping it up along the way. 3. One that date, nothing shows up and explain it needs to be delayed. 4. Go dark. We are currently in stage 1, we will see how it goes.

I don’t think Bigfoot would have any clue about trail cams. Why would it? if Bigfoot exists the reason they are not captured on trail cams is because they could be assumed extinct or near extinct.
