Cracking the Code: Capturing Bigfoot on Thermal Trail Cameras

A new video from the YouTube channel Squatch America has been making the rounds in the Bigfoot community, and it's definitely worth a watch. In the video, titled "Bigfoot Mythbusters Does Bigfoot Really Avoid Trail Cameras," host Scott puts the myth to the test and shares his findings with us. The myth that Bigfoot avoids trail cameras has been around for a while, with many people believing that the elusive creature has some sort of sixth sense that allows it to evade being captured on camera. But Scott has a different theory. He believes that it's not Bigfoot's intelligence that's keeping it off camera, but rather the technology we're using to capture it. Scott starts off by discussing how most animals don't avoid trail cameras, and in fact, many photos show deer and other animals looking directly into the camera when the picture is taken. He then goes on to explain that the infrared (IR) lights on trail cameras can act as a beacon for nocturnal animals, including Bigfoot, if it has night vision and a tapetum lucidum (a layer of tissue in the eye that reflects light). Scott then puts this theory to the test by setting up a trail camera and using IR lights to see if Bigfoot will avoid the area. The results are fascinating, and I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say that it's definitely plausible that Bigfoot is not avoiding trail cameras on purpose, but rather, it's our technology that's failing us. One thing that I found particularly interesting in the video is how Scott suggests that we can improve our chances of capturing Bigfoot on camera. He suggests using better cam placements, covering up the IR lights, and using thermal trail cameras. These are all great suggestions, and I'm excited to try them out on my next Bigfoot expedition. Overall, I would rate my
