~WHAT'S THAT ON THE TRAIL CAMERA? ~ July, August 2024

[@ALs-Outdoors]

Looks like some possible good deer hunting spots for this season. 🤓

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I hope so AL. It's sure been slim pickins the last few years. It's good to see a buck or two....even the one with the weird antlers.

[@elkaholic338]

It's pretty neat seeing what goes on when you're not there to see it.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It is. I love these trail cameras!

[@virginia7191]

You definitely got that bear’s interest! Lots of deer and foxes too!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I hope he doesn't eat my camera.....

[@buckleyhollembaek7304]

Great little clips a lot of nature and some people out enjoying the outdoor thank goodness we have to share

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! I love these cameras. You get to see things you wouldn't without them.

[@IdahoHillbilly]

Good Morning 🌄

[@MuskratOutdoors]

GOOD MORNING!!

[@jackkeeble9272]

Thanks for the video

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank you too!

[@mattproffitt4570]

Good morning, you picked a couple of good locations. Nice to see a bunch of antlers running around. Have a great day.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It sure is! Amazing that I almost never see them in person. A few of those elk are starting to look pretty good.

[@sandyc6569]

I love trail cams! Thanks for sharing!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Me Too! Thanks!

[@OchoVerde]

Its my favorite hobby too!

[@bonniek3985]

Lots of deer and elk, but no wolves! Something to think about.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

There was one towards the end in the dark. The one that turns and it's eyes shine. Not over run though at all. It might be a tough trapping season.

[@tmccormick48]

Good morning young man. Lots of freezer meat and some nice ones I was surprised of all the vehicle traffic. Only crew I recognized was the bush biters. Have a great day and thanks for the ride.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Ha! Crazy mutts!

[@masstrapper7645]

Plenty of critters moving round. Seems like a lot of traffic too. At least people are still interested in the outdoors. Enjoy the day👍👍

[@MuskratOutdoors]

There is! I was surprised to see so many people really.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks!!

[@ronwatson4902]

Nice video and that fox is a regular. I'm fixin to put my camera on the edge of a nearby. soy bean field. Might see a deer! Thanks Gary!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! I bet it will surprise you what all you will see. There's more out there that folks realize! These trail cameras are a lot of fun!

[@pauldavis6242]

Hey Good Morning !!! Quite a few critters on this one. See the bear making his rounds. Looking for a good quality canoe now. I'm wanting to take little vacation around the Powell or either the Clinch river. Have some islands to camp on. Do little fishing. I'm on a peninsula here. Powell & Clinch River comes into Lake Norris here. Only 4 ways out of here. Swim the river, helicopter, 1 long winding hilly back road & the main road in.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning! That sounds like a LOT of fun! I like the Coleman plastic canoes. There's better ones out there, but the Colman ones are lightweight, tough, less money and less toppy than most. I had a fiberglass one that was really heavy...got rid of it. Dad home built a wooden one that I loved, but it finally dry rotted away. I've never had an aluminum one, so I can't say about those. Someone told me Colman doesn't make them anymore? They said they sold the rights to Pelican? I don't know?

[@pauldavis6242]

@@MuskratOutdoors there's 930 miles of shore line on lake Norris here. Lot lagoons & coves off the lake to duck into. Camping is aloud in areas around the lake. Some of the best hunting here is only accessible by boat. I do want a light weight canoe.

[@10aurum48]

Busy spot!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It sure is JR. Good to see ya!

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Loved seeing all the different animals. Have a Blessed Day Friends! Justin

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank you. You too! Going to be hot here again I think.

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

@@MuskratOutdoors In Mississippi we are having a cool front moving in and high 80's is going to be a relief. Try to stay cool!

[@dlansburg2673]

The picture of the 2 little bull elk with the long shadows ,that was real nice,thanks

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! Pretty neat ain't it?

[@ImixSpb]

Great trail camera footage. That bear looked like a nosy boy ))) Thanks for sharing, have a great day!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks, you too! Bears like to eat trail cameras......I hope he leaves it alone!

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Theres a lot of traffic on that road! Human and wild!! Very cool! Thank you for sharing my friend!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

There is! More two legged critters than I've seen there before. Glad to see the 4 legged critters don't seem bothered by it.

[@kennysr.1054]

They're most definitely out there but the bane of a hunters life is will they show themselves during the season ? Good Luck to you and Cindy my friend !💪

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Cindy says when hunting season comes, they magically turn into stumps and rocks! I'm pretty sure she's right!

[@leonardryan8723]

Good 👍 morning Gary cool 😊pics and times of wildlife pass threw . 😊

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! I love these cameras!

[@cltmeck]

Love these kinds of clips. Getting ready for our annual cross country camping journey. Heading out Monday or Tuesday from NC to Snoqualmie WA then back to the Northern Rockies for several days and then back to NC. So nice in the Rockies with no cell service 😏 Be safe everyone.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Sounds fun! My Mom used to live in Snohomish. Well, near it anyway. Have you ever been to Index Lake? It's above the town of Index. Steep climb, but a pretty lake.

[@cltmeck]

​@@MuskratOutdoorsNot yet but we'll see if we can fit it in on this trip. Can't wait to get out there next week. Be safe.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

@@cltmeck One of our first dates I took Cindy up there. When she didn't complain and had fun, I knew she was a keeper! It's not an easy climb, but really pretty.

[@Johnathan-ib3qh]

Lots of nice critters. Cattle look healthy for free ranging. Took me a while to understand the "this fox added to it" comment lol. Bears are sure curious. Hope the fair goes well. You get the tractor oil changed?

[@MuskratOutdoors]

There's a ton of grass up there. More than I've ever seen. No, I haven't got that oil changed, I'm hoping today. There's a horse show I have to go get ready for right now though....

[@kevinkline6835]

Good mornin and many blessings

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning!

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

Awesome trail cam video. So much on there. One of those does towards the last part is already starting to get its grey coat. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank You! I noticed that too. Starting to shed out Summer hair for Winter hair.

[@BasedCowboyGun14]

I WAS NOT expecting those bear jump scares lol

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Ha! Dang critter was going to eat my camera! He might still do it!!!

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Good morning Gary. When the bear get that close to my camera, it usually ends up on the ground or broken. Bears are jerks with cameras. That mulie buck had some weird looking antlers. One side looked normal but the other was a post. Nice video my friend. Have a good day.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning! Bears have eaten several of mine too....dang critters! I hope he doesn't eat this one. Weird buck wasn't it? I wonder why it grew like that? Have a great day too!

[@cliffyarboro1163]

Enjoyed the video brother, that fox needs to have frequent visitor status haha, oh and thanks for the hat and hatband info have a good day👍

[@MuskratOutdoors]

He does! Very glad the hatband worked out! Thank you, and have a great day too!

[@NonTypicalRacing]

That much deer n elk I surprised no wolf!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

If you look close, there was one in the dark towards the end. By itself.

[@margotbissell9174]

I really like watching trail cam recordings.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I do too. It's a lot of fun to see what's out there.

[@j.c.curnes]

Mornin' !

[@MuskratOutdoors]

GOOD MORNING!!

[@akelkhunter]

Good varied critters. Thanks

[@MuskratOutdoors]

There is. Neat to see. More people than normal though.....

[@richardcooper6050]

Great setup you made. I've got one camera up on the mtn behind the house. I'll check it in another week. I'm sure it won't have as much action as yours, well other than the wind.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! You might be surprised. When I go up here, I rarely see any of these animals, but they are up there. Good Luck! These cameras are a lot of fun!

[@jogeorge9752]

That's was interesting. A lot of critters for sure.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! Thesecameras are fun!

[@douglawrence9616]

This year you will have no excuse for not getting a deer cause now you know where all the critters are!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I sure hope so!

[@impalaman4546]

Good morning friend

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning!

[@GarrettGalloway-c8h]

😮lots of people in your neck of woods 😂...thanx 4 the video ❤

[@MuskratOutdoors]

More than normal.....I don't like that.....

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello 👋 Muskrat, that’s funny that the bear could smell or hear the camera and put its nose up to it twice. I haven’t eaten bear since I was a sprout. Have a great day and stay safe

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Bears seem to like these cameras. I was told a lot of plastic has soybeans in it now? I don't know, but bears have eaten several of my cameras. He might be back and ruin this one too.....I hope not!

[@TheNorvikWay]

Great video Muskrat......👍🤙

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank you! I'm off to bed! Good Night!

[@tt600pch]

Nice to see some elk. I was surprised the elk didn't nose the camera. They nosed my kid's cameras a few years ago. Could have been the infrared flash or a click?

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It's strange how different cameras are. Some, they see, some they don't. I think the bears find it by smell, but I really don't know.

[@GrampyCampy]

Lots of good animals and some not so good two leggers 😂 and four wheelers man they have gotten massive now, the ones that go by her are huge! Small ones I can see if there cheap but some of those cost more then my truck 🛻 I think that is crazy! I probably would t if I owned one, but it just seems like wealthy people don’t know what to spend money on so they get those, I don’t know just my thoughts! Great video ✝️👴🦃🪴🏡🛻🦌👀😎🏕️

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I agree. It's getting out of hand. Turning mountain roads into freeways.....

[@billiep4338]

I’m awful late today. Got called in for court duty. I haven’t had to do it in a long time, but I guess it was my turn. Nice bunch of animals (4 legs)😂

[@MuskratOutdoors]

OH NO! I hope you get an interesting case at least! I've never had Jury Duty, but Cindy has been called a lot. Usually it got thrown out though and she hasn't had to do it.

[@jonfoy9166]

Good morning. I thought that bear was going to eat that camera lol. Have a great day!!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning! He still might. I bet he comes back!

[@Shadeskast]

Did you see that couple at the end with dogs.? They looked like they were up to no good. Suspicious. 😂

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I think they were! A couple of Crazed Mountain Hobo Hillbillies right there!

REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO

[@MuskratOutdoors]

GOOD! Happy to hear that!

[@martybritton267]

That is one busy place up there with people cows and wildlife but there's a reflection in the middle of my screen looks like maybe a trail sign or BLM sign maybe I would like come there and get lost on that road for a day I would be in heaven

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That reflector is a road marker. I'm not really sure why it's there? The road it marks has been closed. It's a side road off of the main road.

[@martybritton267]

@@MuskratOutdoors exactly that's what I thought it was funny how it's wright in line with your camera

[@darreldwalton8763]

Lotsa traffic, till I looked at the date /time stamps, then it put the human traffic in a bit better perspective. Lots of critters, thought maybe Ol' Yogi was gonna knock yer camera down and play with it a bit! Have fun at the fair! After a bit, I just resort to people watchin', and mostly remind myself that we made a good choice getting out of where the peoples lives. Enjoy the good stuff! Ignore the rest.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I can't figure out why that one camera's date / time won't work? Kinda need that! Bears eat trail cameras! I'm glad he didn't! Checked it out twice though, I bet he comes back.

[@quaileggsvermont]

I am surprised you got anything on the camera! With all the way to many people on the roads!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Lot of folks up there.....more than normal...

[@quaileggsvermont]

@@MuskratOutdoors Yah and it's only going to get worse! With in 100 years they will have to open up all of it for people to build up there! Sad!! Same here!

Good stuff!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

Other than the human traffic, there was some great footage. I'm surprised that your camera wasn't swiped by that bear. Those were some nice looking cattle. Take care.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Me too. I hope that bear doesn't eat it. I've lost several that way.

[@StevenMMan]

Spike elk it's what's fee dinner. Too many two legged critters Mountain man

Busy spot, great place for a blind. Have a great day

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I bet it would be. I've thought about a bear bait there.

[@cottrellshuntingandtrappin3016]

You have plenty of foxes to trap and elk and deer your freezer should be filled to capacity. What was around those cows necks was it a GPS device? Thanks for a great video buddy I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It's funny, I almost never see anything when we go up there, but they are there someplace? Yes, it's a GPS / Shock Collar system they are testing out. It's supposed to keep the cattle out of areas that burned hard in the forest fire until it grows back. It might replace Hillbilly on his Fish Fences someday....I hope not.

[@weekender38]

A wide variety of stuff. I want to see wolves. SHOW ME WOLVES!!!

Good Morning! I talked with the guy in charge of that. He said they are learning a lot about what the cattle actually do, and where they go. He also said they can tell when they suddenly stampede.....wolves? Something else? Dunno.....

[@claycomb556]

Gary , what’s them gadgets hanging off the cows neck on a chain ?

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That's something new they did last year after the big forest fire we had here. It's a GPS tracker as well as a shock collar. The Forest Service doesn't want the cattle in the hard burnt areas until the grass and brush has a chance to grow back. That somehow zaps them when they get into those areas so they leave. Kinda neat, but takes the fun out of cowboying!
