Maybe part of a psy-op?
Spread rumours the fort is defended by giants, have your troops bring these out to leave tracks... Don't know how feasible that would be though, both in terms of leaving tracks in places you wouldn't be observed doing so and in terms of them being believable enough for an actual tracker to believe.
