That was a black locust honey locust have them as well. Not very friendly trees!

It's also a good place to find antique bottles as well. Thanks for watching.

Yup, the adult racoons are safe but I have reason to believe that a bobcat hunts around that spot. We will see.

Thanks, this new camera has a better infrared that the coyotes can't even see.

Thank you I plan on doing this through the winter too. I know of a nice creek that will be full of wildlife when it becomes the only water around.

Your literary ability combined with the content of your writing demonstrates a cognitive ability that is below that of an average human.😂😂😂😂 better to allow people to surmise your stupidity than to type a comment and confirm such suspicions. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

We just ran out of latex tubing today. I brought some cut pieces of cellulose sponges to use. They work ok but get water in the cheese bait.

yup the thing is that if the swivel jumps the knot it's now out of position and sliding down the main line. Pulling it back over the knot with pliers usually makes it more likely to happen again. If the hook jumps the knot, I can always just tie another drop line because I have a bunch of line still left on the spool. I made this video years ago and still use this trotline. I'm amazed how long its lasted. The swivels came off another trotline and are over 35 years old. Thanks for watching.

Yes me too, The fields all still have crops but there is one spot that may be open. Something tells me to go back there again. I just have a feeling.

I know after I watched that I said, "wait didn't I touch that branch.

thank you I am excited about the new camera. Those are some Hmong people out there catching frogs. They are super skinny and fit. I think I need some frogs too; taste like chicken.

@@countrydirtkid4451 - I noticed one seemed to be carrying a rifle… (@6:54)but where I grew up (Wyoming) hunting this time of year or at night wasn’t permitted!

@@janvafa9959 Yup it looks strange to see hunters out there so early. It's squirrel season here in Illinois but it's not a good time to hunt. There are so many mosquitos out there. So about Wyoming, before my daughters grow up, I want to take them horse riding in the mountains of Wyoming. I'm looking for something like a guide that provides the horses and leads the way. Is that a thing out there? Have you ever heard of that?

Thank you. This winter I'm going out there to more creeks. Stay tuned.

Not that I know of which is a shame. I tried giving them away, but people are reluctant to take them because they don't look like store cucumbers. Thanks for watching.

They are too tender they would just turn to mush. We tried to eat them all fresh, but we gave up. There are just too many.

I found a Spanish silver Reale right here in small town Illinois. The date is unreadable, but I can see that the second digit is a 7. It was a ghostly feeling standing in a field of nothing holding it in my hand. I have the federal census from this area, so I know the names of the people that lost it. I stopped making videos because out of 4000 subscribers less than 100 people would watch each new video. Out of that the majority of them swiped out before the halfway point meaning almost no one made it to the main point which I always put at the end. Maybe next spring I will try again. Thanks

@@countrydirtkid4451 sweet ! i have found only one Spanish Silver Half Reale here in southern IL but the date was wiped . my buddy dug an 8 Reale the other day in flawless shape 1802 . yeah man i know the struggle of the metal detecting history niche as well . so many channels in our niche now and with shorts it’s now harder than ever to get the algorithm to find us smaller channels and most people don’t want to watch a 15-20 min video anymore but oh well i just do it for fun and don’t ever plan to monetize . my son will be able to see my adventures now and him in some of the videos when he is older . hope to see you get back at it soon because i always enjoyed your content . - Matt 🤙🇺🇸🤝

Yup we get a massive flood here every year. I should have known better but I thought the camera was higher on the tree than what it was.

thank you, the camera is back out in the woods. I move it once a week. This time I put it over a log crossing in a flooded swampy wood. Stay tuned.

Yup living out there with that coyote😄

sorry to hear that. Yes, it amazing what goes on when no one is there. This trail cam is presently set up overlooking an abandoned house in the woods. We will see if anything interesting walks by. thanks for watching.

thank you, I put the camera out in front of an abandoned house this time. The ticks are really bad this year. Hopefully we get to see something cool.

The battery on the camera died so the date reset. This video is from this last week. I'm going to drive a ways away and put the camera in a new place this time. Thanks for watching.

Haha nice catches on the cam. To be honest, I would feel safer running in to the wild animals instead of the humans out in the wild…

No so much big bass but giant Muskie! We used to sit on the dock and put our feet in the water but not anymore after seeing the muskie.

Are there any brush piles in there? I wonder how much fishing pressure is on this lake? I see there’s golden shiners in there, got to be some nice large mouth. Mississippi River is closed , would you expect more than normal fishing today?

@@1minutetomidnight432 Yup there is lots of fishing going on, but it is mostly people casting topwater to bass that have seen every lure in the entire cabalas catalog. There are also people fishing the docs for bluegill using hooks that are way too big. I think showing up with 2 dozen live minnows and smaller hooks is the way to go. Good luck.

@@countrydirtkid4451 thanks for your reply, i just moved here from Rockford,and caught many large mouth 20 - 22 inches at pierce lake. I’m going out there for the first time this afternoon and will be looking for brush piles for crappie and weeds for largemouth

Yes, they will be the color you take them out of. I have a feeling that the yellow and orange ones don't sprout as well as the red so you may need to put extra seeds of those in the cups you plant them in. Good luck.

@countrydirtkid4451 thank you so much for responding 💜

Thank you. I was all out of places to put the camera because it is so weedy out there right now. I found this one puddle full of leopard frogs and decided to put it there and see what happens. I'm working on another video right now and will have it posted soon. thanks

Definitely a bad foot. I saw that mother several times at this location, she is a good mother. The camera is back out there at a new location. Thanks for watching.

Thank you, I never knew that. I will read up on that phenomenon. I also read that with synthetic fertilizers the leaf tissue has a backlog of easy to digest animo acids waiting to be connected into proteins by the plant. Insects sense this and are stimulated to reproduce explosively. Do you know anything about that? Thanks for watching.

I use M n M Bait cheese which is just plain old bad cheese from a factory in Wisconsin. The reason why it looks weird colored is because I left it in a hot shed for a couple months

Thankyou Its firefly season here so I need to go back out there and retrieve the camera and put it somewhere where an animal will trigger the camera into recording the fireflies. Stay tuned!

Thank you, it was a ton of work to get out there and set up the camera. Its firefly season so I have to reset the camera in a good place to try and capture a scene with fireflies.

thanks, The other day I put the camera out on a tiny island on the local river overlooking a goose nest. I hope everything was set right. There were 6 eggs in the nest.

I bet you they can, you just got to find when the right clerk is working.

Starbucks will give you the used coffee grounds
