Someone had to be there to shoot that photo. Who is the photographer?
The man is not carrying anything so why is there suspicion about him?

It was taken from what is commonly called a game camera. They’re motion activated and regularly used by hunters to see what game is passing by. That’s the reason for the grain laying there. Of course there’s plenty of other things people have used them to discretely take pictures of as well.

My grandmother had land up there, he’s not dressed like the typical local. Locals usually wear jeans or more rarely khakis, and flannel shirts in cold weather. Only an idiot [who is also single with no wife to handle the laundry]would wear sweat pants up there in the woods because the beggar ticks - a sticky type of plant seeds shaped like velcro triangles - would get snagged by the thousands all over them, and on that type of material would take forever to remove. A pocketknife scrapes them easily from jeans and khakhis due to the weave seem to prevent them from clinging in the first place, but sweatpants? Hell, no, the wife would kill a man for less.
Could be a city guy from St. Louis looking for a place to hunt, bird watch witho9ut binocs, bury a body or set up a meth lab. He looks urban, except for the fact that his face isn’t buried in a cell phone.
Could be a realtor, too. I have land up there and some dude in Jefferson city keeps pestering me wanting to buy my land, and a lumber guy has inquired too, probably because it hasn’t been cut for timber in 50 years or more, and has some valuable trees all over it...so people from out of town do go around snooping down that way.
“The man is not carrying anything so why is there suspicion about him?”
1. His body language is wrong for the time and place.
2. His clothing is wrong for the time and place.
3. He looks middle-eastern.
The fact that he is carrying nothing is itself suspicious. Who goes out into the woods with nothing?
