Have you ever thought about listing the United States Military in your will and then informing them on the true nature of the woods? I'm sure that your security team is trained well enough, probably ex-blackwater mercs, but I'm sure that trained Military officials with access to heavy weaponry would probably fare better taking care of the woods than whatever team of people you have in charge. I know for a fact that they would do whatever it takes to keep it on hush mode that your woods are infested with cryptids, and I'm also sure that they will assign more than one man per patrol route. Keep in mind that none of this will be coming out of your own pocket, it's going to be all paid for by the government. Not to mention I'm kinda curious to see what would happen if there was some kind of military involvement.

Are you nuts? They’d weaponize the creatures and perform testing on them. No, the military is not to be trusted with the knowledge of the woods.

They really wouldn't be able to weaponize the creatures. The creatures are of sentience, so if they are weaponized it's going to be because they chose to be weaponized. In the first upload by OP, she said that Leshy ate a man whole, the military will have a hard time getting a large, sentient, man eating monster to willingly be weaponized. And you also have to take account that the military probably wouldn't weaponize a massive hulking creature that is sentient because of the danger of if it goes MIA or AWOL. Imagine a large hulking sentient Leshy, equiped with missile and Miniguns just absolutely massacring the streets of NYC.

The military is smarter than to let that happen.

They could still do testing on the creatures

Nah, once the first dozen or so soldiers get eaten they'd probably burn the whole forest down and just do autopsies on the former inhabitants.

The creatures still most likely wouldn't allow a bunch of random people in combat gear poke and prod at them.

The creatures are far to smart to be trapped, otherwise I'm sure OP would have had people do it by now.

The most that the military would be able to do is obtain DNA from fecal matter (which we aren't sure if the creatures even defecate yet) and study behavioral patterns

If many of these creatures couldn't fight off humans how many years ago, they definitely aren't a match for the US military.
