Orangutans visit the tree almost daily, but with range problems in the dense canopy, the cameras don't always fire. And the orangutans, seeming to spot the cameras, take circuitous routes to avoid passing near them.Dec 7, 2016 nationalgeographic.com Nice Shot! An Orangutan's Hairy Climb - National Geographic Article has a pay wall unfortunately. I've read that one idea is that the orangutans associate the cameras with humans and want nothing to do with them. I speculate it's similar with sasquatch. The trail cams stick out as unnatural in their world and they associate the cams with us. Humans made it, humans put it there and the humans might still be around. Sasquatch avoids camera and heads to territory with less human activity.

Thank you for the answer. Creeps one out regardless of the predator. I assume that IT raised your hackles. Glad you came out safe. Same, glad you came out safe. Living to tell the tale is always preferred.

I’ve had an uneasy feeling once while packing mules in the Frank Church wilderness. If Bigfoot was around I never detected him. I was camped outside Cold meadows and was riding up to the rim of the Salmon River. A place called grand dad’s cabin or something like that. I was by myself. If I remember right I had the stock act up on the high line one night. And then riding through this one area I consistently had a creepy feeling like I was being watched. I chalked it up to a Cougar. I had a mule deer tag and a bear tag. Missed the Elk tags they were all sold out. Never cut Cougar sign either. What it was is unknown to me. I’ve been sleeping by myself in the woods since I was a boy. Dunno. Beautiful country. Very hard to access. I used the stoddard creek pack bridge to get in there which has since washed away. Closest town? Salmon Idaho?

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I have heard of it but not experienced it. I've had the feeling many times in the woods but there's no overlap between those instances and instances where I was aware of a bigfoot nearby. Lot of rationalizing involved for the root cause. Nothing I'd count as evidence. When they are around and I know it, it's a lot more cool than scary. It's a grin + "well what are the odds of that?" situation.

Hello all. From far northern wisconsin here. Once discovered tracks approximately 10 miles from my home in the national forest that I live on the edge of. Have believed in sasquatch since childhood.

I did edge detection procedures on the images. Nothing showed underneath the target. Moon showing through the vegetation is debatable. Possible owl or other avian. The theoretical pupillary separation seems wide for lack of distance reference. Was flash attempted? Noises? Odors? I worked on the top image. The vertical elements that barely show in the top image are from vegetation. Edge detection , sepia tone and brightness manipulation.

There are people who think they know all things about Bigfoot: What it eats, how it sleeps, and even its favorite color —it’s green by the way I have noticed on occasion if you dare question “how could they know that “ these types want to practically burn you at the stake. We used to have a resident skeptic here ( he who will not be named) and he was always reflexively not just a skeptic but through his posts a pretty rude human being. If you dared to suggest you might believe in Bigfoot or consider it’s possible you were meant with ridicule and distain. I have noticed we have the same thing on the believer side. That is, you can’t just think Bigfoot exists or it might exist. You have to believe their version of how they see Bigfoot. If you don’t, it’s clear you are dismissed and downgraded in their mind. essentially you can be a believer but “are you a believer enough!” You can even believe in Bigfoot but “do you believe in my Bigfoot the way I see him!” Downvote away. It will be the best compliment I’ll get all day. At least the original Willie Wonka gets it:

Pocket rod or surveyor pole and open reel tape. One wanders around in the near field and far field while holding the scale tool in vertical and horizontal positions and stopping at many locations after setting up the camera and also on the return trip to service the camera. A distance value from the camera can be determined with the open reel tape. The camera mount has to register the camera back to the mounting position. In case of an event, overlay images and keep the scales, keep or delete the human.

Here I am! Glad to be a part of BFF. I've seen Bigfoot and more then once! Can't wait to chat about my encounters and discuss yours!
