Tim Harrell - Bear Eating Trail Camera Pickup

- This is my first trail camera that I have had totally destroyed by a bear. I've been doing this trail camera thing for 7 years so I guess I've been pretty lucky. I got a month and a half of action on this camera before the bear ate it. In this episode, I tried to re-trace my steps from the day that I lost my trail camera lock keychain. I saw a few ghost orchids on this day and I showed you some of my favorite swallow tailed kites that I saw as I was driving in.
Love the ghost orchard. Those birds were beautiful. I can't believe you are not afraid of alligators that could be in there.
I think you missed one of his videos from last year when a tripod saved his life In about 3' of water.
Thanks for all the videos. Great work. Your trail cams has caused me to purchase my own and put it on a tree in my backyard to see the activity. I have seen deer, birds, squirrels, racoons, possums and children (my nephews, my kids, my wife playing in the yard, even caught myself cutting grass.) All good times and worth the efforts. Thanks
Thank you, Tim for risking limb and life once again - we enjoy your videos so much and it is always great to see you post -
what a fascinating place - the kites visit us her in SC - they are poetry in flight! God bless you and your family.
Good afternoon. I just watched your video with Brazilian Portuguese subtitles. I really like your videos, I started installing trail cameras a little over 2 years ago, it's been my favorite hobby. I also mostly go alone to check the cameras. Thanks for the video, it was a good time watching them. Regards, Erik from Brazil.
When the bear walked off I think I heard him say I'll be back Tim. Lovely videos though. Thank you so much. Be safe.
Enjoyed that tremendously, thanks again Tim, your videos bring such peace of mind. Just got back from visiting my brother who was diagnosed with cancer and this is just what I needed.
I love it when you post a new video! Thank you!
All for the love of a flower... You are legend, Tim.
Tim, what you doing is hard work,not many can do.Thank you.
Thanks for going out there all these years, Tim, especially July😎 Tim, I would start selling large prints
Thank you for all the great videos love them. I use to take long walks in the woods behind my house in NC many years ago but didn’t have cameras back then. Now I am to old for the long woods walks this is why I enjoy your videos so much. Much ❤️ and gratitude.
Yay! A new Tim video! Been missing these!
Thank you for Posting the video Tim. Great footage.
Enjoyed watching the diversity of wildlife in the swamp Tim! 👍 ❤
Always a great day to see a rare trail camera pickup video is out!!!! Love these! Thank you Tim!!! ❤
I love your videos. I found the Ghost Orchid this year, and that terrain is tough. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful videos.
Tim ~ a Floating Keychain, Easier to find?
Great bird diversity. Those swamplands are a wildlife haven. I’d help the Ghost Orchids too.
A yellow crowned night heron!
Hi Tim, Welcome back. Always good to see another trail camera pickup. Sorry the Bear ate your camera. I didn't see the standard time - date info bar on the bottom of this video. I'm guessing you turned off or edited OUT that info or this camera does not time stamp the recordings. Keep up the exciting videos. Thanks 💛
The racoon must have dropped your keychain! He came back searching for it! Apparently the Barred owls were laughing at him! 😆
Does any one else hold their breath while he's stomping through the swampy water? I'm always worried for him!
Oh, I have many times, when he does this track BAREFOOT.
Another great video Tim. We have followed you all these years. My grandkids would even request to watch Tim Harrell videos when they would visit. You even answered my question about which browning I should buy........Happy Anniversery............lol
Tim, you are a blessing to all of us who love nature. Thanks!
Hey Tim awesome trail camera pick up as always! Love love love the fact you saved that ghost orchid ❤ very nice! I am glad you show us some in Situ. It's very cool! I am growing some that are from flask. But it takes years! Maybe one day I'll have a ghost 👻 bloom in my grow space one day! Have a great day dear. 😊
RIP Seymore but thank you for your service, nice catches 👍
sorry about your destroyed trail cam and lost keys
👍always love your videos
I love your videos!
You forgot about your Sasquatch attack. I know you don't talk about it anymore, but we'll never forget.
Attack?
Bear channeling that orca energy!
I have a Apple Air tag on my trail cam lock key chain.
Still got my cams up, but keep dropping SD's. Only found 1 of 4 so far. And this is in my yard. Great video.
I am very surprised at the low number of snakes you come across. Also, I would think in those areas after a good solid rain the tree frogs would be plenteous. Lizards too seem to be an uncommon sight. Really, I am curious now about the reptile population in that part of Florida.
Always the highlight of my day when I see you've posted a video thanks
Thank you for sharing your art, Tim.
Thanks Tim .You always make my day.
Great video! Still get a little nervous you walking in the water. As for the lost camera they shouldn't made it so tasty.😅
03:44 - 03:46 Okay - maybe it's an optical illusion, but when I pause the video @3:44, I can see something red in the water directly ahead & under where your hand is in the shot. 🤔
I purchased some of the toguard cameras you showed on previous videos, simple to set up and not bad priced, at least the bear didn’t destroy a good browning camera
That raccoon cracks me up! What was that bird near the end in the night shot? Keep hunting ghost orchids and thank you for sharing!
That was a Yellow-crowned Night Heron
@@sprucebear4414 beautiful bird! Thanks!
Sorry about your camera, atleast ya got some awesome videos out of it. I just love watching the wildlife. Thank you so much for sharing these videos! 🍀 hopefully you will find your keys eventually. 😄
Awesome video as usual. Love your channel.
...I think I saw your Keychain dangling from the racoon who stayed back from the camera... 😂
Oh, no. I'm running out of your videos! Thank you so much for making them. I've got a lot of medical issues and they're so comforting to me, especially right before bedtime! ❤ Like medicine!
How can you walk through there knowing there are gators?
They won't mess with you if you leave them alone.
Nice to see you back and enjoy your relaxing videos over supper with watermelon and berries as a perfect ending...Take care and I'm sorry you never found your keys.
Tim I love your videos. I’ve never been to Florida so I really appreciate your videos and the effort you put into them.
I have a Browning trail cam and I have a video that it recorded that is totally baffling for the first 20 seconds or so, it’s just a horrendous noise with mostly nothing visible, except the occasional flash of a feather or two right in front of the camera lens. Then, for just a few frames, a yellow bellied sapsucker is seen flying away. It had perched on the steel box protecting my camera and pecked out the ultrasonic motion sensor (I have had several animals go after the motion sensors, I think the ultrasound bothers them.)
When I grow up I want to have a swamp adventure.
Omg, literally crunch, crunch, crunch. My condolences on the death of your camera.
Sorry about your camera Tim! I Really enjoy your videos. Been following you since day one. I lived in Bradenton Beach for 19 years, Myakka State Park was my favorite hang out. I now live in Northern Michigan the black bears are 5 times the size up here you would've never seen your again if one our black bears got a hold of it. Once again thank you! Be safe from Roger City Michigan 🐻🌲🐿️
Well I’m the guy whose been commenting on your videos for the past 2 or more years asking how yo keep the bears from destroying them. I see firsthand now. Those Browning cameras aren’t bear proof unless you put them in a steel bear safe. I’ve even had 1 browning damaged in a safe. The bear broke the plastic over the flash. I was able to fix it with a piece of clear plastic and aqua seal.
Thank you as always Tim for the videos. I love them all. Sorry about the camera-and the keys!
I’m so happy to find you . I love your videos
7 years is a pretty good streak. My first camera was chewed on for 6 out of the first 7 days until it stopped working. Nothing but Brownings in steel cages since then for my cameras, particularly with so many bears in the Blue Ridge mountains.
We are also in the Blue Ridge near Hendersonville NC. Live on five acres with regulat visits from black bear and deer. Beautiful place to live........
Even a steel cage didn’t stop a determined yellow bellied sapsucker, which pecked my Browning so hard it torn the sensor covers off.
@@jpe1 Wow!
Awesome , Thanks Tim 😊
Wow that camera looked really damaged - that’s a shame! Bears are so strong! You’ve got some beautiful woodland and wildlife where you are! Thanks for sharing
I've wondered how long it would be before a bear chewed a camera. I look forward to your videos, keep looking for the keys they will turn up when you least expect it.
They have been rough on mine this year. I like getting videos of bears but they are rough on my cameras.
Welcome back
00:40 Downhill spiral? 😲🤔 Why downhill? I thought you loved keeping tabs on those orchids. Life is short, Tim, so if you don't love what you're doing, stop doing it!! 😝😉😁
metal detector
The one ghost orchid that you had a picture of what's had long tails beautiful
Aloha Tim! Your Ghost Orchid photos are SO beautiful! You should make prints of them( for sale), or a calendar.😊👍Great video! On the left side of 26:24 looks like a nice Double Free-standing "X" Structure. Have you ever seen any giant 👣 or anything resembling Florida's famous "Skunk Ape?"
WHY ARE YOU NOT MAKING ANYMORE?I MISS THEM SO MUCH
Me too
What a happy thrill, seeing you back here in the swamp again, Tim! That intro with the bear teeth scared me that you had been attacked again, like the croc did. Please keep on keeping on! -- charlie, sacramento CA
GPS signals are not accurate under tree cover so trying to follow a red line too closely can take you 30-60 feet off the original track. Just stay on the actual trail if it's visible and you think you were on that trail back then. The satellites are always moving so that decreases accuracy for trying to find an exact spot years later. Using deferential GPS would increase the accuracy a lot but you did not have that when you lost your keys. Could be that someone else picked the keys up as well.
how about a metal detector to look for your keys ?
Good idea but it wouldn’t be allowed on Federal or State property.
A small magneto could do the work also, as long as you keep it far away from your other stuff so it can't wipe a sd card or anything electronic.
Fantastic as always Tim! Great seeing you again. Thanks for all of your time, physical n mental abuse (you are sadistic to yourself sometimes), sharing your love of the Everglades and your brilliant photographic skills. Be good to yourself Tim, you are treasure😊
Man Tim that was full of old school memories and some crazy bear attack on your cam. Brother you always impress! Great video! Keep up the good work and stay hydrated 😅
good video even though bear vandalized it.
Love your videos Tim keep it going I’m still trying to catch a bear on the west coast
Relaxing to watch
Hi Tim have you tried a metal detector in the area 😊
Bears can be brutal on trail cams. I have 6 cameras and only have one that doesn't have bear marks.
I think you got some of the best animal shots yet that I have seen from this camera placement and set. Too bad for camera damage and loss of camera mount trunk. Sorry.
Thank you so much for your videos they are really good
Is there a way to form a u shape perhaps anchored to a bit of bark or something, so that the line is not totally around the tree? Just in case you miss that one coming back, or do not come back there, the tree will not die from the restriction of an encircling restriction? Or do you already do that? I couldn't see very well. Also, your work is amazing! How on earth you wander those swamps is beyond me. Fantastic.
Seems like the camera did a pretty good job continuing to record while being mauled
All the animals liked this camera. Did you rub it in peanut butter before leaving it? 😊
I have 8 Browning trail cams I’ve been using for 2+ years, and all but one of them has been chewed by deer, raccoon, or bear, and/or attacked by yellow bellied sapsuckers. I think there is something about the plastic, or perhaps some scent from human contact, that makes the animals curious. Out of desperation I’ve taken to wiping rubbing alcohol on the case, once it evaporates it doesn’t scare the animals, but they don’t lick a second time.
Hi Tim, how ya been ? Cant wait to have Thanksgiving with you at the Talahatchie Hilton!
Time to check the cameras Tim, just don’t get eaten, Please 😢
Love yah vids. Thanks for putting them out.Been watching your vids for a while.Thanks sir.I remember when you lost yah keys.
Bummer the bear dined on your camera! There was some great videos on it. I remember when you lost the keys. Nice the company sent you their last one. Take care and stay safe!
Very nice. Thank you for sharing. Sorry about your camera.
Can you do a video about your gear? I’m particularly interested in the backpack for your camera gear.
what kinda bird is that @ 21:30 ??
@@beccaboone7960 , thanks
A Bear ate my trail cam once. I know the feeling when it is totally damaged.
Are beavers causing the swamp? Beavers are awesome. Ive actually seen one here in the thumb of Michigan. Best animal Ive ever seen in person.
What kind of shoe/pant combo are you wearing in that environment?
Are you just letting your socks get soaked or are they special kinds of clothes?
My question also?
You still got some great videos……I’m still hoping you find the key chain lure
good to see you again . thanx . stay safe
5:35 May you have many happy returns.
very good
Great birds.
I need a new vid fix, what's the delay?
Back in the late 50's I ran a trap line to trap Coons. On the nights with the full moon I would cover the pan's on the trap's with tin foil , shinny side out. The Coons can't resist anything shinny , they have to touch it. Probably the same thing with your red & white lure and the sparkle of the keys in moon light. Man O Boy it does not seam like 8 years but time does fly when you are having fun or looking forward to seeing something.
You are doing great Tim, it’s a hard job, but please do it for us older Floridians , My brothers and I thank you 🇺🇸👍🏻😎
I like the way the raccoons won’t get their bellies wet if they can help it, hi-steppin’ !
Cool
