The videographer had this to say:
A baby bigfoot is seen here on the ground looking up to a branch in a tree just before it leaps up and swings through the tree's.I don't know how the videographer knows it's a bigfoot. Maybe he'll answer some polite questions. I can see what looks like legs as it runs away, but it's so briefly on screen, I really am not sure what I see.
A photo later of a person 5 foot 6 inches, has shown this baby bigfoot is about 4 foot tall.
UPDATE: The videographer, who goes by the screen name replures, replied to my questions this way:
I was standing on the ground, and fell to my knee to start recording.I would have to argue that I'm not so sure it has a profile of a humanoid in that brief moment before it leaps out of frame (which I cannot, unfortunately, get the YouTube file to freeze on..). I see something that looks a bit like a tail shooting off to the left. I also see what looks like ears up on the top. If I were going to guess, I'd say it was a fox or some other canid. It doesn't look like it's going up into a tree to me, either. It looks like the shot is at an angle down toward the ground, and the animal simply trots away.
The reason I say bigfoot, is because it has the profile of a humanoid just before it leaps for the trees, and the reason I know its not a human is because of its speed and stealth through the branches.
I did go back to the spot with a person, and had the person stand where this thing was, the person stands 5 foot 6 inches tall, from this estimate the critter is 4 foot tall.
UPDATE: Make sure to check out the stabilized version.

It still bugs me whenever these video see a target run off/move in a certain direction that the camera invariably moves in the opposite/different direction most times. Maybe there around sound cues I am not picking up on but it boggles my mind that so many times when a target moves out of the area, the camera never even appears to make an attempt to track it. Likely there is some confirmation bias in this frustrated observation but this video only serves to illustrate my point.
Moves like a bear.
Extremely Kool,
Boy I hope this is the real deal....
DB, this really does look like something going up into the trees, you can see the tree trunks in the video, and it looks human-like.
The only other thing that could move that fast into the trees would be a monkey. Did anyone lose a monkey up there in Wisconsin?
Seems like a bird to me. What you see as possible legs DB could also be construed as wings.Im going to download this and study it a bit further.
Chinle, I'm almost *always* wrong about these things, at least in my first reaction to them. If there's an art to interpreting pics and video, I'm a ham-fisted amateur. I've got a link to a stabilized version of the video and to me it does look a lot more like a humanoid form running away when the camera shake is gone.
Being serious, a possible alien?
Def not a bird, there is that moment of "up and then stop" as if landing on a branch higher in the tree. What I really don't see is how you can think the angle is down towards the ground. BTW, I'm in Wisconsin, did he say where this was?
Make sure to check out the stablized version; added a new link to it in this post.
As to how I can see it as if it's from another angle -- the thing with these things is once you've seen it one way, it's hard to get that out of your head, much like the spinning ballerina illusion. I would never argue that my way is the right way, I only report what I think I see. And as I told Chinle, when it comes to this sort of thing, I'm always wrong. Sounds: now there I have a better percentage.
You can't even seen anything after the first five seconds. It just looks like someone held a doll and then lifted it with string real fast and then you can't see anything from then on. Something four feet tall would not jump like that. Apes don't even jump straight up above the distance of their own height like that.
Let's try a simple explanation...It's the hindquarters of a deer with foilage in between creating the illusion of humaniod features. It isn't leaping into the trees, but moving away and to the right of the videographer as deer commonly do.
Squirrel...meh
It's Don Young... again.
I live on a ranch in Texas and I assure you that is not a deer. Deer leap, but not into trees! The manner in which this creature moves is not common with deer.
nothing to see here except a squirrel.
Why can't people learn how to shoot footage? Center the object in the frame, focus, and do not zoom or you will lose the subject your shooting. Just watch simple nature videos to learn technique and emmulate it. I can't believe that no one has shot good footage in the last 50 years! This debate will go on forever!
Looks like a bear cub.
It looks like what I see when I close my eyes and rub them.
Sorry guys but I see a squirrel too. In the first part of the video, the squirrel appear to be in a sitting position facing the our right with his tail up and curled. The squirrel then advanced to a jump position and the tail tip of the tail curls the other way and look roughly like a human head. The clincher for me was that when it jumps, you see nothing that looks anywhere near being human-like legs. It is not physically possible for somthing of human-like size and weight to spring up a tree like that. This IS a squirrel!
Them be a squirrel in them trees!!!!
Sorry, but growing up in rural parts of Kentucky, this looks like every instance I've ever seen of a squirrel sitting in front of a tree, and then leaping up the trunk. It's just in IR.
South bound end of a north bound deer.
looks an awful lot like a squirrel to me too. But assuming it is four feet tall like the article states then I'd say its a young black bear.
Im from the south and laughed after seeing .. its simply a racoon ... they often will stand on there hind legs to jump on a tree and they will skim thru a tree with so called stealth as mentioned .. that explains the tail to :) .. Richard
It doesn't look to me like it's jumping up the tree, instead, it looks like it's being pulled up into the tree by a rope. Sorry, I think this is a fake.
Acts like a bobcat - I've seen them in exactly that animated posture - , scrutinize a tree branch - then leap to it and UP and Away :)

what a bunch of doodoo ! With all the video recording devices in the world today, why is it that all "caputure video" of some entity is always - blurry, grainy, out-of-focus or too dark ?
sheesh !
Sorry Anon. This is a thermal image! It registers HEAT! If this was a doll on a string, it would have to have a pocket warmer inside, & I doubt that a plastic head could radiate that much heat!Go back to school & study the human body!
Monkey.
Tell by the quick movements of the head as it looks at the camera and then back in the direction it's about to flee. Typical monkey movement as you see when you watch them in zoos/
two words: squirrel dammit.
Studying the imagine the thermal signature shows that the arms are longer than expected for a human, further the arm or front leg elbows are in the wrong spot for a typical animal in the Wisconsin bush. The head of the creature has an almost triangularshape, granted the foregroun bush may be distoring the image. What I found most intriguing is that the "Leap" is not a leap by conventional means, the creature simply raised it's "arms" or front legs and litterally moved not leaped or jumped. Following the video very slowly you can see the creature does not bend the lower section of the body, this means the creature is extremely light. A Bear, Cougar, Fox (which do not climb trees) and Monkeys all bend the lower section of the body to leap, just like Humans do. Someone also made the comment about the head turning to look at the camera, there is no definitive head movement, further Monkey's do not always look in another direction before leaping or jumping, often they look past that to the next point of movement.
The leap/Jump and lack of lower body movement is the real question and leads to the real answer. From this one video and no additional data no one can be conclusive, though the movement fits the M.O. for what is commonly labelled as a "Grey" alien.
Further the comment about the camera being on the side is silly, you can clearly see the Trees standing upright as cooler thermal images. This is clearly an upright shot and the camera does follow to the right which was the direction the creature moved to.
All in all this is an intriguing video and it is unfortunate there is no further thermal footage of the creature, or additional foot prints or sounds.
Stop the video at 0:13 and you can see more clearly the side profile of the face looking up and the arm and hand.
Well... let me think... it has to long ears standing up and it hops away... it's a rabbit... a 2 yr old would know that.
it's a child of the long lost koga mountain ninjas transplanted from the mountains of Japan
Deer.
It's a rabbit and it's not climbing a tree it's just hopping away on the ground. Looks like the video is being shot through a fence. The dark vertical area that everyone thinks is a tree is just the night background on the other side of the fence.
I'm sorry but thats no baby bigfoot, thats a squirrel on a tree branch.
It looks like a humbug to me -- a brief scene of a nearly-static warm object, then a large amount of shaky camera panning on nothing in particular.
Looks like a deer. Watch the way the hind legs kick off just as it starts to run.
Tocelotl
More likely, it is the elusive, but very dangerous Man-bear-pig. Watch out, and for God's sake don't hike with blueberries in your pocket.
Why are these videos never, ever, stable or clear?
The video has been flipped upside down. The camera is pointed up at the trees not down; the object is moving down to the ground. Look at the tree trunks there larger at the top of the posted video. My camcorders all have the battery power indicator in the left upper corner of the viewing screen. Stand on your head, and check it out.
Okay, I agree with the comment above (6:46 pm). It does appear to be a rabbit hopping away. You have to change your perspective... The lighter areas are fence pieces and the darker area in the middle, where the animal is, is actually open space, viewed through the fence and some foreground foliage. Watch it hop away *behind* one of the fence pieces--not up into a tree. Btw, the stabilized version isn't showing full contrast depth, so it's deceptive.
Or.. if it's not a rabbit, it's a squirrel starting out already on the tree and climbing further up, in spiral fashion. Or... what if it's not a rabbit, a squirrel, a racoon, or a deer? Then it has to be either a baby bigfoot or a man-bear-pig, right?
FAKEFAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE.........OH WAIT ITS A BIRD, WAIT ITS A DEER NO I MEAN ITS AH SQUIRL,I SHOULD KNOW THIS BECAUSE IM AN ANIMAL MOVEMENT SPECIALIST.. COON JUST SEEM TO SWAY,WELL NOMATTER NOPE I KNOW ITS NOT A COON BESIDES HAVING DONE EXTENSIVE STUDIES USEIN EN 4 RED CAMERAS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT UPS DOWN SIDE SHOTS THATS WHY YOU GOTTA PAN AWAY ALMOST OUT AH FRAME SORT AH SPEEK SO NO ITS NOT A PIG BEAR-MAN...
nope youre all wrong its a chupacobra
