I Missed a Great Opportunity with the Badgers

[@berserk498]

I'm 14 years old, and thanks to you Morten, I got into wildlife photography. Now I spend almost any free time outdoors, taking pictures and watching animals. I thank you for this and wish you health and success in your work and your mission, someday I will join you!

[@Travis_kip]

That's amazing start doing some camera skill and in your 20year you will far

[@berserk498]

@@Travis_kip thank you very much for your support!

[@arbutusadventures1]

good for you. I started later in life and happy I did. filming and photographing nature and animals has been amazing to see the moments we miss in our daily lives.

[@MortenHilmer]

Hi there I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday:) So 3 things! 1. The video is uploaded in 4K so I hope it will be ready at some point in that resolution. 2. My channel is apparently under attack of some kind of spam, so just remember - I do not write you about a great prize or a giveaway - I am not that kind of nice guy;) 3. Thank you so much for every single one of your beautiful comment. It is so much more encouraging that you might think. I wish everyone a wonderful day. See you out there...

[@LoquetudigasBW]

Fix this comment on the video so everybody can see it

[@mlevesque33]

Your channel is not the only one being spammed by scammers. It's a real problem right now.

[@HampshireHog63]

Glad you sorted the spammers / scammers out Morten. Pity about the Sony A7 RIV - but, if I'm honest, I'd have ended up selling it and putting the money towards a 600PF!

[@romy4593]

After watching your videos where you go into a hide? I ordered a great inexpensive one man hunting tent! Then I got the cloth and put up the tent out back on my home. Birds began landing on it and it was funny. 5 birds were walking around it in the rain. I can't wait til tomorrow when the sun comes out to enjoy taking pics in it. I also have to weigh down the ends because I have it on a wood deck facing the water one way and my huge dogwood tree in full bloom with another window...the other window faces my gazebo where hummingbirds fly into the Jasmine blooming now!

[@mateuszzdun9061]

Dear Morten, I just can't express my gratitude for all the beautiful stories you share. This video brought me my best memories from childhood when I was spending the whole summer outside in a nature at the countryside at my grandparents place and watched the nature documentaries on TV. Now wildlife photography is my greatest passion and throughout the years you had a great impact on it. The ethics, the knowledge and the passion you gave and taught me are of great value to me. You are a true friend and my hero. Love, Mateusz 😊

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much Mateusz for sharing your memories. And thank for such a lovely comment and a great compliment.

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Some people want to win the lottery. Others just want to be Morten Hilmer 😁😉👍 Could you maybe make a video showing how you got started, you know in the small days and what you did between then and now? Where you grew up, how you became more known and so on? I know you have touched upon it a little before but a full video would be awesome :)

[@MortenHilmer]

Hi Joe. So nice with a comment from you. I hope you are having a great time. By the way. Could you send me a PM with a link to that radio interview with you. I missed it that day. Yes I can make such a video one day. It is maybe a good idea. Take care. All the best

[@Youtuber-ku4nk]

We all want to be Morten Hilmer. Just not everybody know it yet :)

[@JoeMaranophotography]

@@MortenHilmer I cant imagine anyone on this planet would have a bad word to say about you - a rare gift! Honestly it wasn't very good. I felt a bit rushed so answered the questions a bit rushed to not bore everybody. Also I'm not using Instagram anymore as I have decided its not for photographers and not a platform I want to be part of :)

[@naseerart]

I like this video.❤️🙏💐

These vlogs are the best day in my life vedios on youtube

I love this channel . Thank you Morten!

[@VictorPVetra]

Thank’s for slowing the pace of a busy life. I enjoy having a coffee with you.

[@fatherdamo2]

Slugs.... double strips of Copper tape around the rim of your raised planters.... I've found thats been the best friendly way to stop slugs reaching your vegetables...

[@firstlast2034]

I do one every year. it does pay off!

[@Sander_Hollo]

Hello Mr.Hilmer I hapened to have exact same photoblind(well,it's actually designed for hunters). I have it for years now and last october i set this up near Fox den(not really fox only.Everyone likes this den.Linx,Badgers,Racoons,Deers) This tent can handle all the storms and thick snow,cause it has anchor ring on the roof as well,so snow wont breake it. Just a tip for you.Theres way to leave microphone outside of tent with longer cable. So mic dosnt pick up noise but only whats hapening outside. You welcome.

[@TorToroPorco]

I love videos like this showing Morten in his “natural” habitat living his life, seeing his day to day activities and his daily interactions. Not only do we see him working in the field but also a bit of his personal life and his relationship with his father. I feel very privileged to be able to enjoy these videos. Thank you very much!

[@tedk2814]

Hello Morten, my name is Ted and I'm a new subscriber as of today, now the 4th of July. I live in Sebastian, Florida and as I write this it is 8pm and I hear the fireworks outside as my town celebrates our Nations Independence Day . I love your videos and hope to see more in the near future. I am primarily a high school sport photographer, senior photos and the like but am getting interested in nature photography. I've been watching a U tuber named "Trond Wesby" who is also amazing. Thanks for your wonderful channel. Oh yes, I just received my Nikon Z9 as a NPS member, super excited. Take care.

[@TimsWildlife]

Morten, your appreciation for every small thing nature gives you is really appealing. I think your enthusiasm shines throughout your videos, and that is your main appeal. Good work.

[@iastorgaphotos]

I know Mother Earth is a living being. I hope your efforts bring Her joy, and that that joy spreads throughout our planet. Thank you 🙏🏼🤗.

[@mituldesai666]

Morten I really liked the whole preparation and interaction for blind photography with so detail work ...Liked Dear.

[@kyawkyawwin3410]

Watch this video from beginning to end... I am very excited. There is also a vegetable garden behind my house. I'm going to take a photo of the birds near that plantation. thank you Myanmar photographer Kyaw Kyaw Win

[@-Starboy__]

Thank you Morten , you are always an inspiration for me towards my passion for nature and photography. Your videos always have an impact in myself which I cannot explain in words. Thanks. As you always say - See you out there - 🏔️ A fellow human ❤️

[@dragosflorentin2427]

Really beautiful farm. Byorn is probably the happiest dog on earth.

[@19Photographer76]

I'm glad your Dad's back is still holding up. No guarantees as we get in our 70s and 80s but it makes me feel good inside to see other's able to function well.

[@CharlesMercer]

You give us inspiration, Morten. I am an older man; I won't tell you how old. But in all my years, I am beginning to understand that it is the small things that bring happiness. Nature is such a healer, and you always manage to show us what is important in life. My gratitude.

[@mzeeshanch]

It was just a beautiful video... It was just so relaxing watching everything... It was a long video but kept me glued to the screen from start to finish...

[@trinaloje7251]

Hvor er du bare en super fantastisk inspiration. Også at se danmark fra dit objektiv. Fantastisk 🥰🇩🇰 Such such and inspiration. Also to people who are stuck, wanting to change their lives. I can only imagine. All of your videos. Thank you 😇🇩🇰

[@nancylightfoot4613]

Thank you for sharing-along with your spectacular successes-that even a great wildlife photographer can also miss a photo, and that is just an opportunity to learn and make a different plan. Your badger photos here were wonderful, but for me I also sometimes love my photos of great times with the wild ones, even if they are not perfect. It is always so good to be out there, and there is always something to see and memories to take home. And thank you for taking good care of your little piece of paradise. :)

[@PetrSl]

Morten, thank you for your video!!! They are great! Make a short video about the behind the scenes of filming, how you shoot, what you write the sound for, how much time it takes... It's very interesting! Thank you very much!!!!

[@tonyutting6508]

Brilliant! I could almost feel your excitement.

[@fabiennepouyenne8877]

Dear Morton ,thank you so much for this video . I learn a lot about the wind, the smell, how to photography (how to do, the position...). I never see this little forest bear(his surmane in France ) but I hope so much. I don't have enough Iso but only to see him , I will be happy. Thank you for the partage. 🙏🙏

[@user-xc1dh8ed3c]

As a side note to yet another amazing video. The editing, story telling and pacing to this video is really well done. Such an easy and good watch and in a way there was even a climax of an ending with the badger sighting. Actually gives me joy watching these homely videos.

Lovely video Morten! Nice to see Milton again and what a lovely farm you have! Thanks for sharing your great experiences , Benni.😊👍

[@MrBthames2000]

You hit the nail on the head. II’ve hit four local spots I found recently and 3 of them were a total bust. The last one was a success and gives me a lot of hope for later. Lots of ducks, hatchlings, and very few people. As a new wildlife photographer, I cant thank you enough for your content.

Fantastic as always. :) I got the same problem with spring/summer. I got a active fox den and a area with badgers. But at the same time i got the chance to follow a Great Grey Owl nesting wich put everything else to the side. The time is not enough with a full time job haha....

[@RichardBirchett]

Great video Morten, it’s been a while since I’ve watched any as I’ve been so busy! But I’m now on catch-up, you are so right about not always getting a shot, it’s the experience and being in nature that counts. Cheers Richard 👍

[@22ophiotrix11]

Thank you for that great video. Our "balcony squirrel" Tarzan never managed to open the nut feeder or was too lazy. Preferred to hang head downwards from the bird feeder to get its share of nuts, peanuts and sunflower seeds at our balcony, walnuts and berries on the next, just strolled along the roof tops like a customer on a market place. Descendants still live here.

[@nusaceh776]

I love your enthusiasm for the nature and animals and helping the nature to renew.

[@perandersen2015]

I'm from a farm myself, and I really like to see you around your farm. It's so cozy. I missed the time when you showed videos and photos from your little shet, so seeing that you now have a photo blind setup like this is something I really look forward to see more from. Regarding the problem with "killer slugs", you can probably minimize the issue by using coppertape around the wooden boxes. Killer slugs do not - for some reason - like to "walk" on copper.

[@mikecrowley6485]

Great Video Morten, I'm already looking forward to a part two hopefully 👍🏻
