People are so surprised by big cats in the states. But they are everywhere, here. You'll never see one in person unless it wants you to. And when you do, you're most likely going to have a bad day. But, they are absolutely beautiful animals. Thank you for these videos! I stumbled across them an hour ago, and can't stop watching. Great stuff!
The pictures are very clear ,makes home sick for Florida ! A beautiful state ! My family and I back in the 60s and70s used to pick citrus 🍊 in winter there ! Met some very nice people there both Black and Mexican as well as white! 👍💕🦋🌈👵🏻😺
That is real neat! This is the first time I have ever seen a trail camera in use and now I will have to buy one and put it out in the woods near Lake Placid, NY and see what it sees! Thanks for posting it!
Thanks Tim. Love watching your videos. So refreshing to see videos of these beautiful animals doing their thing in their natural habitat with just the sounds of their environment and nobody narrating or commenting like on nature programs :) Your videos are a true gift :)
Great camera quality, great work, great video. Never knew we had little bears here. And I've been in Florida swamps playing and sometimes living since I was a kid about 40 years ago. Great vid thanks again
This video shows u how good a bears sense of smell is... Even after that camera has been set up for a few days the bear was still able to sniff the foreign smell out and investigate
Catching 1 cougar ON A CAM IS AMAZING BUT YOU GOT 3 2 with out trackers and 1 with that's pretty amazing! I almost wanted to say 4 cause in 1 frame alone with out collar looked larger then the other 2 that were together without collars! great video amazing footage !
Hey man how many hours does that Panther or cougar put in and does he start the a.m. shift or the midnight shift and does he pay taxes does the government don't give a damn if you weren't you owe the government income that's the price you got to pay to deliver America it's the law you got to pay it oh by the way does that cougar has register for Selective Service is he 18 or under 18 years old give a fuck man if you work and be happy at the government don't lock you up so that cougar needs to obey the law
Your water hole is a Gator hole... Great videos, quality is amazing. The bear sniffing your camera just shows how good their sense of smell is, he knew it had some kind of scent on it and was trying to figure it out. Great site Tim
This is some great video quality. Nice captures for sure!... I'm pleasantly surprised nobody seen and stole your trail cam's. I'm sure if they spotted them, some knucklehead would take off with them. Thank goodness they didn't!
Florida Panthers are gorgeous I live around Cape Haze Florida, and there's a little damn with a long Seawall that has a canopy of mangroves. When I was a kid me and my buddy were crabbing at the dam and as I turned this cat (biggest one I've ever seen in my life) was walking at me like so confident you could see the shoulder blades. I was scared of death she was looking at me paused and then turn around like nothing in the world could bother her.. walk the dog 30 yards and jumped into the swamp side. Haven't seen one and over 13 years all we have is Bobcats and coyotes now.. nice catch.
I always thought that deer slept at night.....learn something new every day. thankyou for the time you take to put these cameras out, retrieve and show us city folk. appreciated
From the radio tracking collar on some of those cats somebody is obviously doing a study. It was nice to see that none of those cats had the genetically induced kink in their tail that was caused by such a low genetic pool when they were almost extinct. Bigger population now means a bigger ,therefore healthier, gene pool.
I had to read up on these panthers. Only about 300 left and a breeding set needs 200 sq miles of contiguous forest. That is an insane amount of land. Eastern NC and the Everglades are really the only areas in the east that have the land mass to support these cats. Very interesting how different they are compared to how well bears have done in repopulating the coastal southeast. Many thanks for sharing. I will have all my cameras out this weekend for sure.
There are a lot of places these cats can, and do, live, and quite well. People spot them all the time, all over the Eastern states, as well as the Western ones. A cougar can live just about anywhere. I know people who have spotted the, in places they "officially" aren't supposed to be.
One of the things that I admire the most about Americans is their friendliness and respect for the environment... Unlike here in Cuba ,animal poaching and trafficking are extremely rare...we are running out of caguamas ,manatees and endemic birds to those malignant practices... We Cubans have a lot to learn from American citizens and law enforcement authorities... Greetings from Havana Cuba.
Thanks Mariano. Sorry to hear that stuff goes on down there. I've always thought Cuba would be a great spot to see wildlife. I know you supposedly have ghost orchids down there.
@@ShrikeZone l am not a savvy specialist like you, but yes,there are orchids and even a special sanctuary where they are protected, it's called Soroa,check it out and don't hesitate to have a trip down here when you can, don't take too long otherwise there won't be any wildlife left to enjoy.. All the best my friend!!
Enjoyed every bit of footage. Lots of action. I just love the bear! Looks to be a healthy pregnant panther roaming about. Liked and Subscribed.👍 Hoping to catch a glimpse of a Sasquatch 😬
Great footage! I would probably put the cameras a few feet further back off trails, so that "people" don't see them. I see you are using Python security cables, but there are nuts out there who actually will pack in a set of cutters just to take cameras. I run cameras for deer mostly here in Va and have extra SD Cards to just change out and move on and not leave too much scent around. I just bought 2 Cameras that link to my phone and send pictures and video right to my phone or computer, so I that I don't have to go into an area much and leave scent. Again, great video of the animals!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Man, I know what it's like to soak cameras for several weeks, just to find few or even no pics. This past week I picked up two trail cams in the Cascade Mountains of WA state. Combined total of over 11,000 photos of elk, mule deer and one coyote. In only two weeks. It's a three year old burn area and the groceries are thick. Lots of babies and great antler growth. But I've never gotten more than 4K photos in one pickup. Looking like a good area to spend time this fall. I really dig your FL cam pics - gators, cats, deer... Cheers!
Great post, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Especially liked the contrast of what it looked like after the hurricane and then months later when it dried back up. It is really amazing that only the bear payed attention to the camera. Makes me wonder if he sensed a human scent and connects that to food that people may sometimes leave behind. Cause the bears have such a large variety of foods they eat, while something like the panther just looks for meat. And meat wouldnt be something left behind, but things like banana and orange peels might be. Anyway, loved the video.
This is such a quality video! Very nice editing and cropping! You need to have a RUclips workshop for everyone on how to make a top notch video. Well-done!

“Dammit, there’s a frickin’ gator in my water hole!” Most Florida thing I’ve ever heard.
One thing I can't stand is narcissistic bears. They see a camera and all of a sudden it's all about them.
I love this comment.
Lauren McW 😊
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
Bears sense of smell is 1000x better than a bloodhounds.
Bears have SUCH a keen sense of smell! He picked up your scent without a problem. :)
Bear: "theres a small human in this here box...I can smell him"
Sure do appreciate seeing this footage which you so generously share.
Its funny when you say that the gator is in your watering hole.... I think it's his watering hole bro!
Not if he has a rifle bro
Actual footage starts at 5:20
People are so surprised by big cats in the states. But they are everywhere, here.
You'll never see one in person unless it wants you to. And when you do, you're most likely going to have a bad day.
But, they are absolutely beautiful animals.
Thank you for these videos! I stumbled across them an hour ago, and can't stop watching.
Great stuff!
Exactly. Big cats will see a human being before that human sees the cat. Cats are incredible stalkers
@Susan ShontelleSmith the word panther never came out of the post or my comment. Miserable much?
Thanks for sharing these Tim. I never get tired of seeing videos like this. I hope these panthers are around for future generations. Take care.
The pictures are very clear ,makes home sick for Florida ! A beautiful state ! My family and I back in the 60s and70s used to pick citrus 🍊 in winter there ! Met some very nice people there both Black and Mexican as well as white! 👍💕🦋🌈👵🏻😺
Really like the extra information, time, temperature and date. Very entertaining.
The lion was hanging around the camera looking for a USB charging port to charge its collar
Awesome video. We are lucky to live in such a thriving ecosystem. More work to be done!
That is real neat! This is the first time I have ever seen a trail camera in use and now I will have to buy one and put it out in the woods near Lake Placid, NY and see what it sees! Thanks for posting it!
Bear: Hmmm, why tree smell hooman
Mmmmm, Cheetos.
Awww the bear sniffing your camera. Too cute. Those Panthers look skinny poor things.
Thank You So Very Much From Native Floridian Stuck in South East Texas,Florida Blue Sunny Sky's Still out do Texas.
I enjoyed the walk down the trail with you.......so glad you have a camera that shows clear and distinct pictures!
Thanks Tim. Love watching your videos. So refreshing to see videos of these beautiful animals doing their thing in their natural habitat with just the sounds of their environment and nobody narrating or commenting like on nature programs :) Your videos are a true gift :)
Great camera quality, great work, great video. Never knew we had little bears here. And I've been in Florida swamps playing and sometimes living since I was a kid about 40 years ago. Great vid thanks again
Love the panther videos, I hope their resurgence in the Appalachians is more than just rumors
Your videos inspired me to upload my own trail camera clips...thanks for uploading your clips for everyone to watch
Discovered your channel yesterday. Glad I did! Fantastic stuff!
Watching all these animals peacefully rambling through the woods dramatically reduces my school anxiety
This video shows u how good a bears sense of smell is... Even after that camera has been set up for a few days the bear was still able to sniff the foreign smell out and investigate
So true too.
I love watching your videos!!! I really look forward to seeing them! Thank you Tim !!!
We LOVE your videos!! Love the commentary and humor!
Bears have an intense sense of smell, they smell your hands on the camera.
At least three different cats on the video. Curious as to how many there are.
Really cool. I grew up hiking Florida wilderness and now we have cameras to do the leg work. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing this great footage with us!!
Catching 1 cougar ON A CAM IS AMAZING BUT YOU GOT 3 2 with out trackers and 1 with that's pretty amazing! I almost wanted to say 4 cause in 1 frame alone with out collar looked larger then the other 2 that were together without collars! great video amazing footage !
Scares the hell out of me people are hiking next to pumas like that.
And bears!!
@Frotax FrotaxIn L.A. County there's only a handful. There's a goddamn shitload in FL.
You have the best of the best wildlife videos keep up the good work I thoroughly enjoy them !!!
River Ashek
Excellent video!!! Thank you sooo much for what you do! Blessings to you and yours!
Wow! Omg! The panthers! Super cool!
Fast Forward to 5:30 for actual footage
What a awesome video. Thanks for the share. Wonderful to see that there is still this kind of wildlife in Florida.
I always look forward to your trail cams. Thank you.
Wow! Great video. Caught that same panther coming and going to work everyday. You could tell by his expression - off to the grind....
Hey man how many hours does that Panther or cougar put in and does he start the a.m. shift or the midnight shift and does he pay taxes does the government don't give a damn if you weren't you owe the government income that's the price you got to pay to deliver America it's the law you got to pay it oh by the way does that cougar has register for Selective Service is he 18 or under 18 years old give a fuck man if you work and be happy at the government don't lock you up so that cougar needs to obey the law
Those pumas were beautiful and the bear it's interesting how they can spot the camera right away
Really look forward to your videos Tim. Great job. Thank You
Glad you came on my recommend list. So cool to see, as I would never, ever walk in the Everglades. New sub.
Great stuff! Keep doing what you’re doing, important work!
its amazing to see pumas and bears on the paths hours after or before people.
I just found you vlog, I love your channel. I’m crazy about wildlife, the action is amazing!
Awesome editing between the flooded and dry. The critters were pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing.
after listening to all the chaos in the world this is a delight thank you
If currently your professional life isn't in natural science , I think it should be ! You are very good !! And I love your enthusiasm !!
Your water hole is a Gator hole...
Great videos, quality is amazing.
The bear sniffing your camera just shows how good their sense of smell is, he knew it had some kind of scent on it and was trying to figure it out.
Great site Tim
Beautiful! Thanks so much for doing this!! That crazy bear..Can't wait for the next one!
The Bear is very interested in the camera, because it has your smells all over it. There sense of smell is 25 time better than a dog.
Pretty Awesome TIM.... Those Cougars are the Bomb...
TIMMY...I found this video and watched it from my work computer it was amazing how smart bears are ..I loved it..Christine Molloy
Thx for posting these videos! Great work.
This is some great video quality. Nice captures for sure!... I'm pleasantly surprised nobody seen and stole your trail cam's. I'm sure if they spotted them, some knucklehead would take off with them. Thank goodness they didn't!
He has has some cameras stolen. :(

Man is there anything a beat can’t smell.Picking your scent up off that cam! They are amazing.
Thank you for sharing,,Those big beautiful panthers. They are very stealthy and don't like to be seen. To see them on video is a treat...
Well done and placed!! The Panthers are amazing!!
2:40 into your video and I am already going to say....EXCELLENT EDITING!!! Can't wait to share this to my Hubs. Yikes!! Bear kisses TFS.
Miss you Tim !!! This was great footage !!!
Well done Tim! I'm glad to see that there are other camera trappers out there that focus on all the other animals besides just deer!
Just found your channel. Subscribed. Thank you!
You make it look so easy to catch a Florida panther
I always thought that deer slept at night.....learn something new every day. thankyou for the time you take to put these cameras out, retrieve and show us city folk. appreciated
marlene souliere I am city too. It is so interesting watching critters in their environment. thank
SO COOL. I love these cameras. I get bobcats,deer,fox and such on mine in Missouri. Just get a kick out of seeing what moves at night
Tim Harrell love the bear smelling and checking out your camera! Nice pictures of nature's best.
Awesome, thanks for making the vid and sharing
Love that you have a fan walking through at 7:50 LOL. This is too cool!
Rhode Islander here- just found your channel. Awesome video! (subscribed)
Everyone is suddenly a wildlife biology and firearms expert.
Joshua De Laet I know!🙄
Not surprising, seems like everybody on Facebook groups, forums, etc. are all experts as well, why not here on Ego Tube.
From the radio tracking collar on some of those cats somebody is obviously doing a study. It was nice to see that none of those cats had the genetically induced kink in their tail that was caused by such a low genetic pool when they were almost extinct. Bigger population now means a bigger ,therefore healthier, gene pool.
Nice video. Gratifying to know the Everglades still retains a wilderness mystique!

I'm in North East Tennessee and we gave them. I live near the Big Southfork Park.

@Twix is God and so are Macerators The Windmills out west is a great example. The only thing they do is destroy the environment.
Enjoyed every bit of footage. Lots of action. I just love the bear! Looks to be a healthy pregnant panther roaming about.
Liked and Subscribed.👍
Hoping to catch a glimpse of a Sasquatch 😬
Great footage Tim! You have a new subscriber.
It's not the Camera that the bear is attracted to...it is the human scent of your fingers that you leave on the camera when you handle it.
Wow cool and he is sniffing it
Great work - great video.
new sub good editing on showing us the before after of hurricane.
thanks for sharing
The footage of the panther is awesome!! How exciting!
Great footage! I would probably put the cameras a few feet further back off trails, so that "people" don't see them.

This is why I spend too much time on RUclips. Thank you
Will be watching in weeks time. Thanks for doing this.

Although I’ve seen a panther twice in my life, I’ve never seen a pair together. VERY cool!!!
The larger panther had a green collar on. 6:38 and then again later.
Awesome video, brother. What a great hobby you have there.
Really enjoy the videos your cameras pick up!
This 2018 as I am reading and yes the cats are still there. Beautiful large cats.
Bears always know where the camera is
Fascinating, man! Great work!
Thanks ,enjoyed seeing all the animals
Wow! That is incredible footage. We share this planet with some awesome creatures. Thank you.
That one cougar had a tracker on it. And that bear could smell you scent on that camera. AMAZING
Great post, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Especially liked the contrast of what it looked like after the hurricane and then months later when it dried back up.
