Leaving a Trail Camera at an ABANDONED BEAVER DAM for 4 Months. Heres what happened! Trail Camera

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Did any of the wildlife seen in the video surprise anyone? We could not believe how many different animals walked or flew by!

[@VickiAnkney]

The only thing missing was a bear and turkey,I don't count sguirrels and chipmunks.The pine marten and fisher caught my attention.

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

We were surprised no bears showed up once the weather started warming! Maybe they slept late this year!

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

You have wolves in Minnesota? I was surprised not to see any coyotes but maybe if you have wolves coyotes aren’t around?

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Yes LOTS of wolves here in Minnesota. Where they all are isolated in the northern part of the state.

[@daniellec2172]

Was that a bobcat or cougar at the end? I thought the wolves were coyotes LOL..."oh, they must be coyotes, wouldn't be wolves"

[@toriwolf5978]

Wow love these videos please keep them coming. Love watching the deer and the wolves oh the ducks having a grand old time swimming lol really enjoyed watching it thanks so much ❤

When I was young, I very much lived in that world. I wish I still could. Most people don't get to see it or even think of its existence anymore.

They are Mallards

[@hammer44head]

@@UserUser-ww2nj - there was both mallards and wood ducks.

[@imajeepster]

They're so colourful! We usually see mostly Mallards around here, but further out in the country you can see Wood Ducks. I loved watching them all swimming in that pond.

[@imajeepster]

Amazing video, such a beautiful wild landscape. The colourful Wood Ducks, the wolves and the bobcat!

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Thank you for watching! We are so glad you enjoyed the video! We couldn't believe how much of an abundance of wildlife used this as a crossing, or an area to grab a drink. There were probably 7 different types of mammals and many ducks and birds as well! So cool!

[@BarrySimon-q7u]

At 50 seconds that is a Fisher - The fisher (Pekania pennanti) is a carnivorous mammal native to North America, a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States. It is a member of the mustelid family, and is the only living member of the genus Pekania.

I was most excited to see that too although I had mistakenly thought it was a pine marten!

[@kimquinn7728]

You mean a fisher cat? Just wondering

[@jeffreyduus5440]

Awesome video, loved seeing all the animules and birdies making appearances. Wolves and then the coyote towards the end followed by another wolfie, just awesome! Those of us that hunt see most of these things in the woods over a lifetime but it just shows how much wildlife we miss. And don't worry animal enthusiasts, I've been hunting deer for a little over fourth years and I've harvested two deer the whole time, yea I suck at it but we just like being in the woods in the fall and early winter. Its amazing the things that you do get a chance to observe. Thanks again!

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Wildlife sure is amazing and so enjoyable and relaxing to sit back and observe! We can learn a lot from just observing wildlife in their natural habitat! Thanks again for watching and sharing your experiences!

[@bsmith4u2]

At 5:40? Does the Infrared scare the wolves? Can they see the light straight on? Good looking, well fed wolves.

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Great observation! When the camera starts recording every now and then makes a very subtle and quiet “click” sound. What we are assuming is that the wolves hear that click and it catches their attention. What may be quiet to us is most likely quite loud to them! Thanks for watching and for your question!

[@ronsamborski6230]

Good variety of animals near the beaver dam. I’m in the downriver Detroit suburbs, I’m subscribed. We have deer, raccoons, rabbits, ducks, geese, swans, coyotes, skunks, opossums, muskrat, hawks and occasionally bald eagle sightings. All within about 20 miles of my house.

I like the wolves, especially the ones at night. It appears that they can see the infrared light and are none to pleased with it. One look and they're gone. My favorite was the wolf on the right that kept peeking around a tree checking it out.

Seems like deer might go their whole life without once getting a long, satisfying drink of water without having to pause to do a predator check. Great video!

So much going on in just a single abandoned spot in that amount of time! Around here, since early Spring, I've (up-close) only really seen Whitetail, small game no larger than squirrel and chipmunk, a coyote or two, Beaver, and about a thousand different water-and-other fowl; While I have heard a few calls, Turkeys should be everywhere around here now, but the drought we've got going on regionally is so bad it must be pushing them away or something.

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

We agree! We were blown away with how many different types of wildlife showed up! Thanks for sharing, hopefully some rain comes you way soon! Thanks for watching!

[@ADPax10]

@TheOutdoorTheater Thanks! Forecast says some's coming midweek, but we'll see. The predictions've been really OFF this year. Had a very rainy Springtime (thankfully), but a dry as hell Autumn. East Ohio btw, 30 miles west of Pittsburgh if you were curious. Hope all's well where you are.

I’m in Wales, as humans we have played with the water table, over building etc, in some places we have re introduced beavers, they were made extinct by the want of their beautiful coats, now we know how important these amazing creatures are, they have sorted out the flood defences, giving things back to nature is the only way forward for the earths population. I love your videos, as i can see, so do thousands of others.

[@TheOutdoorTheater]

Thanks for watching and for your comment! Weren’t not sure! There is a bigger body of water not far from this creek so maybe they moved on to it.

[@Rick-Rarick]

They will abandon a dam if their food source nearby runs low/out or if their pond fills with silt. Eventually the dams rupture and the water drains, leaving behind a grass prairie.

[@BlueCatahoula-kz1ic]

That wolf pack killed those beavers, that is why its abandoned and they keep coming back to hunt around it.

You're probably right. They have done a significant amount of damage to a lot of the wildlife up in this area. Looked like they may have even been after those ducks. Thanks for watching!
