Yes webcams and bait, lots of bait. One problem, many people, whether locals or crazy bigfoot hunters have been known to destroy the cameras. It's a very important money maker to those states, you can't take away there economy. Honestly I am surprised with all the sitings out there that there aren't more films of them.
