Infra red red & thermal are different. A thick coating of hair would insulate and make them even brighter on camera.

Yes, trail cams are put up pretty much everywhere these days w night vision... Still seen nothing with any proof. No hikers or locals who all have access to phones with cameras... Never seen even an indication of bigfoot that can't be explained in a more logical way.
Just so so so so many chances to be seen and there's NOTHING there. Same with loch ness, the teach stuff on boats these days would find after a few searches. This teach has existed for ages they would have found evidence a long long long time ago.
One of My Uncles on my Dad's side is a Chief Fire Mechanic for Seattle and also a big hunter, his favorite is actually Elk.
An Uncle on my Mom's side lived in Maine for much of his adult life and used to Hunt Moose, he doesn't now, now they do a lotto for tags and even if he got one, he's old now and can't hike and carry a big rifle plus 100 pounds of meat like he used to, plus he moved down to the Carolinas, they don't have moose down there
There are Elk in North Carolina. 12,000 years ago, we had the North American Lion, which was as large as a Liger. We also had the Short-Faced bear, which I suspect helped to keep early human populations down.
I've only seen Elk out West, first in Washington, then in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho but I looked it up and you guys reintroduced them? Well that's awesome, going to be a while before you can sustainably hunt them.
Though my understanding is that the best hunting in the Southeast is a combination of game bird and feral pig.
We have a lot of game birds and plentiful beef in the U. S and what baffles me is the fact we chose a turkey to eat on Holidays.
Like I'd prefer Pheasant or Quail, or roast beef, hell I had a Christmas goose one year and that was WAY better than Turkey.
Not a fan of Turkey but Goose was great, and so are other game birds and roast beef, my grandfather is a fairly well off man, as in a millionaire as in probably multi millionaire but he doesn't act like it, he was an Economics professor and budgeted his whole life and made a bunch of good stock investments that to this day pay at least about 40000 dollars in dividends a year and for the most part the man eats like he grew up, A rural northwestern washington state farm kid turned economics professor, the one exception is at Thanksgiving week, he goes and drops 500 dollars on a prime rib for the family, my dads side and my aunts side (he only has 2 kids)
He does it not because prime rib is fancy but because everyone loves that kind of roast beef, you won't ever see him eating caviar or the like, just wants something for the family, like I said, he never stopped being that kid who had to milk the cows at 4:30 in the morning before he went to school.
Fun fact, they dropped The Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima the day he turned ten years old.
The mass extinction at the end of the glacial period is been unexplained but more recently the "Hiawatha" impact crater in Greenland suggests a "nuclear winter" in the Northern Hemisphere which cleared North America almost completely but left Africa and South America unaffected.

Of course not. Come on.
Why?
In this age of cameras and social media someone would have seen something. There would be some evidence or some proof (camp sites, poop, waste, tracks). The best scientists in the world haven't found a thing.
I agree, but they would probably be smart enough to know human contact would fatal to them. Maybe they are carefully avoiding us.
But hand held devices detect heat exist right? And night vision and all sorts. You can't evade that.
And if they are some kind of prehistoric man they can't understand that technology enough to avoid us.
Also they would need to breed, there would be evidence of that. No traces of blood, no signs of children.
Odds are just way way way past being believable.

I'm on the fence leaning towards yes
The biggest major Pleistocine Survivor of the Non tropical regions is actually The American Bison
Perhaps, but there's also the Elk.
and Moose

Me, I'd love to Hunt Elk though
Im probably be moving to Maine in the next couple years for college and I plan on also getting a hunting license up there.
Though I'm not interested in large game like White-Tail or Bear or Moose, mostly small game, Birds or Rabbits.
Sometime I can take with either a 20 gauge or a.22

no but it looks like hairy trump :D
No a giant Bigfoot like that can be hidden
I think he existed. But he might be dead.
No, not true at all.
Nope
