The following is more information shared by the photographers, Klindt & Dianna:

The answer is yes we did set up the camera to capture a picture of Bigfoot. On the 29th [of April] the wind blew pine limbs that we had placed around the edge of the camera to mask our smell and hide the camera.

We went up on the 30th [of April] and brought back the picture card. We did not know what we had till that night. Then went back on the 2nd and looked for tracks only looked close to camera area say about 30 feet found nothing.

No tracks were found; ground is very springy.

To be honest with you we don’t know, [this] could it be a hairy young Bigfoot?

That’s when we set the camera to video. No other pictures close up of bear, deer, or people. Will let camera stay up for about a week.

The photograph was presented with no claims that it is or was a Bigfoot but merely as an open-ended question. And if it is, the type of Sasquatch is unclear.

The photos that were remotely set off and in sequence, before and after the above mystery photo, are these:

A week later and they have returned with a photograph that should interest those who wonder as to the appearance of the head of a deer taken by this remote camera.
