Group members are divided about the provenance of this image. At first
glance many believe it is fake. The people who are familiar with the
location believe it is not fake. Both sides agree that there
The photo in question was obtained with an motion-detection-triggered
"trail-cam", at a property outside Phillips,
Wisconsin, near the South Fork of the Flambeau River.
The man who set up the trail-cam, Don Young, is a professional hunting
and fishing guide. He spends a lot of time stalking deer herds in
the forests near Phillips, to make sure he knows where to bring
his customers during the fall deer hunting season. Don described
a handful of BF-related incidents over the past few years, including
one within
a few hundred yards of the property where the photo was obtained.
Several people from the BFRO met Don Young during the BFRO's 2006
Wisconsin expedition. His observations led the group to a swampy
tributary of the South Fork of the Flambeau. Over the course of
two weeks in June, at least 40 of the 65 participants heard the
distinct sounds of sasquatches around the perimeter of the swampy
tributary. At least 10 of the participants reported stalking and
brief rock throwing encounters around this tributary.
In the months follwing the expedition Don was visited by a few people
who heard about the activity in the area, including documentary
producer Doug
Hajicek and animal phermone expert Dr.
Greg Bambenek.
Hajicek and Bambenek were impressed enough with Don to provide
him with a digital trail-cam. Don set up this camera after it was
noticed that four of the seven cats (domestic cats) on the property
were missing. It was assumed that a predator was to blame. Don wanted
to get a photo of whatever predator might be involved. He knew there
was a possibility that a sasquatch might be involved.
On February 14 the trail-cam was triggered a few times during
the night. It snapped a few photos, but all those images were very
dark. The camera has a visible white flash, but the flash had been
inadvertently disabled. Even with the flash disabled, the unit still
snapped photos when triggered by motion.
On the morning of February 14, Don checked the camera and found
several dark images. He erased all of the dark images except the
last one which showed a curious halo of back-lit illumination on
something. When the brightness and gamma
was adjusted on the image, the silhouette of a large upright figure
was visible.
Shortly after seeing the enhanced image, Don returned to where
the camera had been aimed to look for tracks in the show. There
were many.
