The Significance of Tree and branch structures

I have become a little inquisitive as to the significance (or not) of tree breaks, twisted and bent saplings, stacked branches, intertwined trees, branches and saplings.

While there appears to be similar type structures in other research areas, I wonder about them as common elements pointing towards possible Big Foot activity or presence.

I know that there is the possibility and potential that these structures could simply be from blown over trees, randomly falling limbs and falling trees, as well as humanly placed to mark trails for hunting, etc. I also observed that many of these markings are very near game trails. While this could be indicative of hunters marking their trails, many of the unusual tree breaks occur over 5 or 6 feet from the ground. In most cases it appears as though these tree breaks could simply occur as a result of attempts to bend them or create archways, such as ones I have found that identify portions of game trails.

I have asked all the hunters I have run across in these woods, as well as friends of mine if they know of anybody that marks trails, game trails, and such. Not one of them acknowledged anybody they knew who did this or admitted that they did themselves. But it remains a possibility, I guess.

In other instances, I have noticed smaller, yet similar, type branch structures at the entrances of what could appear to be pathways into the woods. In some instances, these pathways are actually caused by water erosion, yet others seem to be game or animal trails. The animal trails are the ones that seem to not have these markers. Some have told me (and I don't know how they would know this) that the trail markers, or stick structures indicate a warning or a no trespassing type of communication.

Here is a video of my observation in a relatively small area where there is a concentration of these stick structures. I have not noticed other areas that had such high concentration of these structures. Please refer to my previous post that showcased the area I am observing.

Below, is another picture of a stick structure taken at Salt Fork State Park, in an area called "Bigfoot Ridge"
Notice the similarities between what I had found in Maryland, and these structures in Ohio.

Salt Fork stick structure

This particular structure (second picture) was photographed near the location that I took a picture that showed a possible subject. In particular, I do not remember this structure being there the day before, as I remember leaning against this group of trees. The next day, I noticed this structure of branches that appeared...almost as a notice to me...of what, I do not know. While taking two pictures of this structure, just as I was looking at the back of my camera, I noticed movement in the upper left hand portion of this picture. It had already moved before the picture was taken. As I zoomed in on this area in the picture, I noticed a face hidden between some logs. The next picture shows a face also, but in a different position, showing that the subject had moved.

If you take a look at these two pics, you will notice a difference between them.

There is another researcher who took a picture of another subject that seemed to be hiding in a similar type place, between some logs and a tree, like this one. But the subject was at another location, within this same forest. Our two pictures seem to corroborate the existence of this subject. What is it?
