Gene you seem like a real nice guy! seriously.
With the hundreds of thousands maybe millions of infrared game cameras out there and no big feet, Isnt that experiment enough. Of course you could put one in a trash barrel as a control.
I will say I am not afraid of an experiment to see if big foot exist but a scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable, meaning that one can identify a possible outcome of an experiment that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, it cannot be meaningfully tested.
