Yes, I think you're absolutely right. I posted this on Facebook as well and it received dozens of comments saying the same thing.

hahaha ain't that the truth!

Thank you!

Totally agree! When I worked in the area and was checking cameras weekly, I exclusively used video. But once I transferred I am only able to check them every 3-4 months, so have been using photos to conserve battery life and SD card space. I'll need to switch back though...video is so much better.

hahaha I'm sure they'll learn quickly!

yeah they're pretty dark in colour in these parts.

That's a mother moose and her calf.

😂so you'll never be back then?!

They are masters of using their senses!

Yeah it probably should have said "lightly snowing in May" 🤣

Hahahaha excellent point!

Something i noticed, in one of my areas, was that mule deer always jumped over barbwire fences, but the whitetail would go under. Does obviously. Wt bucks would jump over too.

@@zzz7zzz9 That's interesting, it makes sense with how mule deer are able to navigate crazy rough terrain. At my property in West Texas they will scale a rimrock face in 10 seconds that you just took 10 minutes to climb.

@@averagejoefishing7833 yes, them wiley muley. It's crazy where i've followed tracks before. But ya, with the whitetail, watch for hair caught on the bottom wire, from them crawling under. And i witnessed them crawling, sneaking away from me one time. I surprised a group, in a thick area. Close quarters, we're all within 10 yards of each other. I caught flashes of running away, and leaping away, then, something catches my eye, and it's crazy. A couple of the wt are down, crawling out of the area. Just when you think you know deer.......

@@zzz7zzz9 Mule Deer are extremely rare in this area and I'm not sure why. There are lots just east of this location, but it's nearly 100% White-Tails here.

@averagejoefishing7833 I think I've caught more deer going through the fence than over it. I like the contrast of both in this clip.

Yup, but I've also caught wolves, fox, and marten all peeing here too. I'll have to dig those up and post them all in a series.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video clip.

Hi there! All of these videos were captured in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Glad you're enjoying my channel.

thank you so much!

This was in the Ghost Wilderness area in Alberta.

It is my understanding that the variations in colour are the same as in humans, different melanin levels as determined by genetics. Black Bears can be black, brown, cinnamon, blonde, and even grey.

Yeah, me too...as long as they don't mess with the cameras! 🤣

@@GhostTrailCams lol. Oh they will! Bears are funny. The worst for us was actually a crow!

@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid a crow?? That's a new one. I've had a squirrel shake the ever-loving hell out of a camera once and I caught the whole ordeal on video.

@@GhostTrailCams yes and I was quite tucked off at the bugger. It was an awesome new solar camera. Crow pecked and pecked and pulled for hours. I got a lot of footage. The camera fell into the snow and as we were not there for a few weeks the snow eventually melted and the camera fell into the foot of water off the bank. Uggh! Only really cool thing we saw was from above. The camera fell face up. Captured an amazing Great Blue Heron chasing a crow. I hope he got hi. Hahaha! Really was more upset because I know for a fact a bunch of wolves went through after finding a dead moose about 50' away. Not cool crow!

@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid Wow! That's quite the aggressive behaviour for a crow...and the camera had quite the adventure of its own. Well I hope that doesn't happen again and ideally another wolf pack moves through so you can capture them on camera the second time around.

Oh he was very determined! He's also a pretty big bull, especially for this area, so I am thinking he was able to mate at some point.

Yeah I thought so too! Thanks!

yup, sure was! The content on this page comes from an educational trail camera project I was running with students. The project dates back to 2012 and I am now sharing the best content that was captured over the years.

@@GhostTrailCams oh so thats why all the dates are from so long ago!

@@JagerMaister_Gaming Yup, exactly! I'm working my way up to the most current content.

This Grizzly was photographed in Alberta's Rocky Mountains.

Thank you!

Thanks Max! Yup, deer and other wild critters pretty much do what they want, when they want to.

You're right, it's good practice not to feed any wild animals. It's best to let them hunt, scavenge, and forage for food on their own.

It's pretty impressive, isn't it.

Yeah definitely. It was very unsure how to proceed. I'm glad it gained the skills to keep up with its mom.

Yes, they certainly are. I'm lucky to be catching so many moose on my cameras. If you're interested please see my moose playlist for all the clips.

Yup, I know and that’s exactly when this video was captured. Check the date at the bottom of the video.

First and only time for me. I've captured solo skunks a few times, but never two together like this.

Hahahaha yeah, it doesn't even try to follow!

Yeah, good point. I thought of that too but wasn't sure.

Thanks!

It always amazes me how tough and resilient these creatures can be. Hopefully both critters made a full recovery.

Thanks!

Thank you! It was definitely a highlight...and it wasn't the last time catching a Lynx on camera. More videos coming soon.

You're right, it does look like a ferret. It's an American Marten (sometimes called a Pine Marten) and they're part of the same family (Mustelids) as ferrets. They're pretty common around these parts, but aren't seen very often as they are pretty secretive creatures.

@@GhostTrailCams Thanks!
