Omg...the way the raccoon hangs from the backside of a tree halfway up ,in the dark ,the eyeshadow glow like that in some Bigfoot videos...the ‘peeker’ ....lol
Hi, nice video, what trail cam are you using? I just had to return a recon strike force, it kept messing up, freezing up or just not working. It was on sale for $100 originally $150. I want a good one but can't afford much more than that, any advice? Thank you
It's hard to say. All the brands seem to have their problems. I returned a Browning after 4 months. They sent me a replacement without a problem. For good nature videos get full HD (1920X1080). For scouting game, A/V quality isn't much of an issue for less cost.
Interesting. The birds tend to be the look-outs. I've watched them give their warning call and all species of birds know what it means and react. They also react to visual cues. I was once surrounded by 32 wild turkeys while putting bird seed out. I glanced straight up at the sky and the entire flock immediately alerted and looked up in unison with me. Funny.
The "headlights" in the darkness that never come into the light are real teasers. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to just sit with your back against a tree and watch all this happen.
Hey Jerry this is the only way I know to reach you. Hoping that you and the family are well and safe. Praying for you because I know how life can get in the way. Take care and God Bless!
An excellent video...I have a cam in a secret place and am waiting for a month of records....What this actually makes me want to do is get out there and camp/live with these folks for a weekend.
I hang my cameras higher than most people as I find animals generally don’t look up a lot. At least deer do not. Plus it cuts down on theft as humans don’t look up as often either. It’s an unnatural angle and not nearly as up close and personal as these images. I love these!
Thanks! I try to stay with private property when I can and the low angle seems to do a lot for the audio pick up. Since I'm not scouting, I just do it for the experience.
All the animals see is a faint glow but to the camera, the field of view is illuminated. Without it there would be no video. After seeing it many times they begin to ignore it altogether.
A lot of the time people do not differentiate between the terms Infrared or Thermal Imaging. Most infrared systems are not sensitive enough to use the natural light of the night and therefore use their own light source. They use infrared light which is not visible to the human eye or as they explain most mammals. The source itself probably just looks like an eye to the deer, that is why they are curious/spooked. Disabling or taping off the light source would just mean you would have a very very very dark image or even no image at all. A thermal imaging device on the other hand would record the heat radiation which also happens to be in the infrared spectrum but is so faint other technology is used. Thermal imaging is very blurry and it would look more like a todlers drawing if you would use it to record wildlife in the night.
That racoon on the tree at 4:46 looks like there is a scary tall creature with glowing eyes standing there slowly peeping out from behing the tree. It looks like the Beast from Over the Garden Wall. The coolest raccon I've ever seen.
Sat in the woods in a folding chair with legs stretched in front and heard crashing through the trees ahead and get coming straight at me. Closer and closer and thought it was going to run up me like an angled log. When it got to me it went under the chair and stopped. I peered over my right shoulder and it was a woodchuck. It saw me and continued it's course. Never did see what was chasing it.
I could almost smell the Forrest. Thank you for not having music here
At 4:33 a creature appears in the far background, at 4:43 this creature crawls into the hole in the trunk of the large tree, and then peers out.

I think there was a dominant raccoon in the area but it turned out cute. Thanks for visiting.
Really nice video. I appreciated the written commentary.
For January, some of those animals were nice & fat.
Doe: "Hey, my boyfriend has that same light in his bedroom. Hmm!"
Better get that SD card before it goes viral! ;-)
Poor Fox looked like it had a broken leg. Great footage though, that deer told all her pals🤣
Good eye. Thanks for watching.

I have heard that if anything happens in the forest , the bear smells it , the deer hear it & the birds see it .
...makes sense

My horses used to look up when my brother was on approach to land his ultralight in their pasture. 🙄

I wish.
In what state was this recorded?
Western Michigan
I was wondering what happened to the other half of the antler at 5:58. The answer was at 7:52.
This only raises more questions.

Some good ones here, well done.
Thanks. You never know what you might get.

Thanks. Good luck with your cam.
Any idea what critter is running on the small rise at 9:12 in the upper left corner of the screen?
It's a black squirrel. Thanks for watching.
@@WatershedWildlife Thanks
Something small ..it looks like either opossums or mice maybe

Is it possible to cover up the light...maybe with electrical tape? Love this btw😊

You never know
All of the creatures are on high alert . they all have their own source of protection
Where is mountain lion?
Wa-a-a-y up north.
Gonna lick my hands for antibodies
And..... What the fox says?!
Wait for it... wait for it...
And here I thought an owl was gonna attack a rabbit then try to take out a wolf! lol

I've recorded a groundhog only on one occasion. It also was in a hurry. Good story.
Thumper and Bambi
Awesome
Thanks!
Lovely distraction...

@@WatershedWildlife Good one.
Raccoons are good when baked in the oven live.
Go back to watching cartoons.
