Where is it that you live where this seems so out of reach? I wonder if where you call home is so out if reach for me. If so we should do something about it and snow out world's to each other. I live in northern Minnesota where are you from?
I planned on giving this a quick click but found it utterly fascinating. Incredible to see what is going on in a little corner of the wilderness over a year. Something comforting about seeing these animals go about their lives the way they do, and have been doing for so long.
1. That little leaning tree must be the best back scratcher in the entire forest. 2. That trail must be forest equivalent of an interstate highway. 3. I love all the bears ❤️❤️❤️
@@keve8586 doe (female deer) urine. It smells like Calvin Klein to Forrest animals that’s why they rub it all over themself… fun fact, people actually used to use beaver urine in cologne/perfume
I love how a simple video of wild life brings people pleasure! If ur young keep that innocence! You will need it when you get older. Most people lose that feel of wonderment and pleasure of little things when they get older. Don't ever lose that!
The war between the wolves and the bears over just who owned that tree was hilarious Mama Bear telling babies "get over here and help take back the tree". The Wolves come along, sniff and say "oh no you don't bears this is our tree". And little Flippy squirrel laughs at both of them and says, " I own it all you goofy dodos". That footage is priceless and amazing to watch. All those animals are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. If it weren't for you all with your trail cameras some people would never know animals like this really exist.
This taught me that the forest is just like any other neighbourhood - you have the long-term residents with recognizable faces and sometimes a new resident joins the community.
After the bear broke the branch, I watched the fallen branch as it was moved about. Eventually I lost sight of where it went. Makes me wonder if it's still out there. It's like every part of this forest is a character in a story. Truly awesome.
It is probably in the collection of the Wildlife Trail Natural History Museum. Cubs, chicks, and fawns go there on field trips, and the docent lectures them about the historical importance of the Leaning Tree Limb.
I remember commonly seeing them in the swamps of New Brunswick, Canada. I must say though, as a child, getting out of the car along side a secluded highway at night to take a pee, and suddenly hearing moose mating calls, is rather terrifying!
I love the little bear cub at 8:15 that did a double take to go rub on the tree and then hurried off to catch up with his family. This is such a wonderful video!
@@Hallowsaw Imagine feeling the need to one-up someone with how many animals wander around outside their house. lol u think thats a lot of animals, no i have a lot of animals noob lol
@@gamemeister27 You don't even have to make a lot of noise... unless you are REALLY stealthy, they know you're there, and are gone before you ever see them.
It’s great to see that kind of wildlife in your forest. In our part of the Northeast, much of the wildlife has been decimated and rarely is ever seen. Preserve the beautiful heritage you have so that your future generations are able to enjoy seeing it in their natural habitat. Great video!
Thanks Steve. I was wondering if it was a marten or a big weasel of some type. Did see one for just a quick moment 45 years ago in Bowron Lakes Park in British Columbia. A terrific video.
What a treat...to see so many critters using that forest highway!! lol. And for goodness sake not a single human ('cept the guy putting scent on the tree and collecting scat)...no stupid music...no titling...no narration. Applause applause...and thank you. ps that's a terrific trail cam...what kind is it please?
What kind of dog do you have? Because the bears & wolves both marked that tree & seem to be living in harmony together. I would wear a bear bell (it is a bell on a bracelet) if your out walking that way they hear you coming & avoid you.
@@S550STANG, oh you could be right. I thought that in the taxonomy the Fishers were at the top of the weasel-like family with the Pine Martens (the cute ones) the next ones down, and then the minks and whatever else.
@@MrJx4000 Depending on where you are in the northern hemisphere they have a variety of different colored fur. Mainly small to medium game hunters such as mice, rats, voles and squirrels. Can even go after a jackrabbit. Will also got for any type of edible berries and plants. Pretty amazing creatures to see on the boreal forests!
I read somewhere that they evolved such long legs to facilitate traveling in deep snow. I'm probably the only one who didn't already know that, no moose here in Virginia. :)
This was so interesting and fascinating watch. The bears had be laughing scratching themselves on the trees. And the wolves have an awesome walk and so cool to look at.

It had two working eyes. It's right eye seemed injured or missing because the light was strong on the other eye, making it look very bright and other was in the shadow.
@@tjstuts1706 definitely .. it’s obvious why there are so few deer... Wolves are hard on a deer population. If I was around there I would definitely be thinning them out.

I grew up tromping around the woods of Wisconsin. So, very similar. I did see a few bear there but never a coyote or a wolf until I moved to Texas. No moose, though. But plenty of deer. I never saw any big cats either. Generally everything wanted to avoid the humans. I felt strangely safe there and spent many hours out in the woods alone. Before cellphones were around.
@@keve8586 They probably had visible tags. Most likely clipped to the ear. Some will be fitted with radio transmitter collars, too. But it sounds like he's referring to ear tags to me.
I don't know what you used to mark that sapling. But it sure got the bears and wolves into putting their scent on it. Even the moose had to check it out.
I was thinking of at some point the animals where just smelling one another's sent (along with some residual order from the placement). But I'm no expert.
@@GreyJedi73 There is a part of the video that shows him putting some kind of substance on the sapling. The fact he uses a wand with a cotton or cloth swab and he is wearing rubber gloves to administer the scent suggest it was something pretty strong. He obviously didn't want to get any on him or his clothes. When you consider how often and intense the animals used it would further suggest it had tremendous staying power too.
@H N Yes. This is pretty common among people who have game cameras. I do it on my property in Georgia. But the area I hunt doesn't have any wolves and while there are a few bears it is illegal to use any kind of scent bait to lure them in. It largely depends on what part of the country you live in and what the laws are regarding wildlife. Planting crops is okay, and in some areas it's legal to put out game feed dispensers. They are regulated by states for most non migratory animals. So to get that much attention from carnivores like wolves. Omnivores like bears, and herbavores like moose, the bait/scent must have been really strong and special to keep so many different types of critters using it and not seeming to alarm more wary animals.
Love the pine Martin always with something in its mouth. Love that 3rd baby bear @ 8:00 that goes back to rub the tree then has to run to catch back up with the rest.
On one Alone episode the guy said this looks like an animal trail. So he set up on top of it. When the bears showed up he was terrified and quit. Why on earth put your tent on a bear trail?
Surprising how they share the road. My folks have a cabin in the Sierra's and it's placed in the subdivision so that there's a gap of untouched area behind it and it's a trail for animals. I really need to set up a camera like this and grateful to see theirs.
@@kirstenvogel9620 you should let me know if you do and share it to TH-cam, I’d love to see the animals of the Sierras that’s one of my favorite places on earth
Yeah, they are also heavily trapped illegally. I was timberlogging in wyoming and this one equipment operator had 6 or more traps set up the road and every night hed check em, and put a pellet in their head. Pissed me off. I quit soon after and did another timber sale in north colorado. Dude had hundreds of skins in his garage, which he showed me one evening. We pooled up the mountain. From what I know, it is very easy to eliminate their populations in areas totally because of this lame form of hunting, if you call putting a scrap in a cage hunting. Just greed, pure and simple, and unnatural. He was fat and slow, just ran equipment. Made like 10 to 20 dollars a skin. I despise that kinda guy, unfortunately they exist.
It’s so interesting how animals regularly use paths that they made from traveling to and fro so much, and how so many animals use the natural paths to get around in the forest
love the point where each one becomes a distinct individual and they become recognizeable. the lanky bear with their tall ears and the raccoon are my faves 🥰
I loved it when that gigantic moose stepped out of the forest and onto the trail! Glad I wasn't on the trail when it showed up! And I loved the mama bears with their young'uns! So vital!
Stephen has it right. It's easy to forget how much more powerful these animals' sense of smell is than ours. Imagine being able to look at a tree and be able to tell which of your individual neighbors had leaned against it, and when. That's the kind of detail these critters get from scent markings.
@@nose_poke That is correct, it is like they can pretty much tell elevation changes, wet spots, different foliage, and what animals are in the area with a couple sniffs.
I watch a lot of nature videos, Canadian. American, Romanian, Japanese, Scottish, and I have to tell you that yours are amazing. Great content, superbly edited! Thanks from Canada.
Interesting that none of the animals bothered that one tree until the human came along and "marked" it. Then the poor tree was marked many times further by the animals, lol.
It is interesting to see the lack of activity during the winter time. It illustrates how the forest in the winter, despite being scary and cold, is relatively safe for camping. I didn’t see any coyotes or bears. Only foxes and I’m definitely not afraid of a fox. So if you want to go solo camping but scared, winter is the safest time.
Bears are hibernating; unless you stumble across their den. They start coming out early spring, that's when they are really irritable because they haven't eaten for a while.
@@returnoftheromans6726 Oh yeah, good point. Wouldn’t want to be walking around alone when the bears come out of their cave emaciated and starving, I’d be setting myself up for a snack.
Thank you VWP for the 5.5 hours of trail capture for viewer enjoyment. I thoroughly enjoyed the distilled 15 minutes of the animals traversing their boulevard. Fantastic footage of animals in their natural environs.
Thank you for sharing this video. I put this on while my grandchildren were over to play. The excitement we all experienced as each new animal moved into frame! They are 4 and 3 years old. When they went home they told their parents they saw a moose and it was a girl because she didn't have antlers. Better than Blippi any day.
Love how all the animals use the same trail, every day. Then they show their young the trail, and the cycle continues. The bears are never in a hurry, while the smaller creatures are a flash. Love red squirrels. Such little red balls of fury. Always mad and yelling at anything that's not them. 😆 They get really rowdy during the early spring during mating season, and you'll see the males with a piece of tail missing or a ragged ear.
LMAO I'm sitting here watching all the bears and wolves and other predator animals walk through this trail, and then the deer came up at 2:30 and it's face just looks like "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit" 😭🤣
@@merlemerle788 It is not odd if you consider that this particular trail is frequented by predators. Deer will avoid an area that smells like anything “scary” to them. That’s why hunters work so hard to get all the scent out of their clothes and gear.
@None Ofya interesting. I am in Georgia as well (coweta county). Is the area you refer to public land or private? In your opinion, do you think the wolves or bears pose a greater threat to the deer population? If the deer population has dwindled in that area (I’m not disputing your assessment) what would be the wolves primary source of food? I see rabbits and other small critters in the video, so I guess they have plenty of prey.
I'm in love with this video. I'm going to watch this at work every time I want to be outside with nature, but I can't because I have to be a grown-up and work on spreadsheets. 🙃😉
This is the equivalent of animal texting dirty messages to each other lol. Bears just rub themselves and dance all over the smell. And the deer want no part of it. Then wolf walks by with his homies and his buddy looks right at the camera like.. hey Gregg? You ever get the feeling we’re being watched? Imma go the other way in case they jump me..
This was so cool to watch! Thank you for making this video? I can't get over all the different wildlife species you picked up on the trail. Amazing! What the heck was that you rubbed on the tree? 😂
This was so great ! A peek into the woods from the comfort of my bed ! I love the woods and especially black bears, although I wouldn't want to meet up with one. Thank you for making this incredibly interesting video !
I've seen quite a few when I lived in Wisconsin. Never up close, though. They're actually pretty shy. But we were taught to go the other way when we saw them anyway. Especially if they had babies.
Some of the better long term trail cams now have solar panels that keep them charged up. The trail cam we bought this past winter has a port just for a solar panel charger. I might have to buy it and the rechargeable batteries cuz im going broke battery wise lol. I got to teach the hubby to turn the frigging thing off when he's out back working. I had 100 plus photos of him mowing/cutting wood etc... oh and our silly dog triggers it more than anything. I swear she just likes to have her pic taken
This is the absolute coolest wildlife film I’ve ever seen!! I feel I’m seeing inside this world that most of us never know about. Did I see a badger? I didn’t realize so many different animals utilize common trails. I think I thought they would never do this somehow. And moose!! Clever of you to put a distraction in front of the camera. Some of the animals were a little thinner than I would want them to be. Thank you so much!! This should win a prestigious award - it’s wonderful!!
The cubs walk scatteredly heheheh must be tough being momma bear with such active minions. 😆 Oh and the bear that scratch his back on the tree, so cuute, he's like dancing 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

I think those are Coyote
@@markwiley1211 there are both wolfs and coyotes throughout the video.
the beauty of them is that they just are, they do their thing, they're perfect
So technically animals do have “roads” that they use instead of just bumbling through thick brush right?
The path of least resistance at work
On one Alone episode the guy said this looks like an animal trail. So he set up on top of it. When the bears showed up he was terrified and quit. Why on earth put your tent on a bear trail?
Surprising how they share the road. My folks have a cabin in the Sierra's and it's placed in the subdivision so that there's a gap of untouched area behind it and it's a trail for animals. I really need to set up a camera like this and grateful to see theirs.
@@kirstenvogel9620 you should let me know if you do and share it to TH-cam, I’d love to see the animals of the Sierras that’s one of my favorite places on earth
Trails dude.
This is one of the best trail camera videos that I've watched.
That tree is the most powerful being in the universe.
It's fascinating to see that guy put the scent on the tree and all the animals react in their own way nature is fascinating.
I wonder what the scent was.
Seeing the pine marten was a rare treat!
Yeah, they are also heavily trapped illegally. I was timberlogging in wyoming and this one equipment operator had 6 or more traps set up the road and every night hed check em, and put a pellet in their head. Pissed me off. I quit soon after and did another timber sale in north colorado. Dude had hundreds of skins in his garage, which he showed me one evening. We pooled up the mountain. From what I know, it is very easy to eliminate their populations in areas totally because of this lame form of hunting, if you call putting a scrap in a cage hunting. Just greed, pure and simple, and unnatural. He was fat and slow, just ran equipment. Made like 10 to 20 dollars a skin. I despise that kinda guy, unfortunately they exist.
@@ripvanwinkle1819 the only one that needs fur is the animal it came from.
Should report him
It’s so interesting how animals regularly use paths that they made from traveling to and fro so much, and how so many animals use the natural paths to get around in the forest
All animal trails inevitably got followed by humans which turned into roads which became interstates.
before i knew about game trails i just thought animals blasted through the brush whenever they wanted to get somewhere.
love the point where each one becomes a distinct individual and they become recognizeable. the lanky bear with their tall ears and the raccoon are my faves 🥰
I loved it when that gigantic moose stepped out of the forest and onto the trail! Glad I wasn't on the trail when it showed up!
And I loved the mama bears with their young'uns! So vital!
How none of them crossed paths is remarkable
The one fox crossed paths with something.
Predators avoid each others by scent
Stephen has it right. It's easy to forget how much more powerful these animals' sense of smell is than ours. Imagine being able to look at a tree and be able to tell which of your individual neighbors had leaned against it, and when. That's the kind of detail these critters get from scent markings.
@@jamesfowley4114 something tasty 😋
@@nose_poke That is correct, it is like they can pretty much tell elevation changes, wet spots, different foliage, and what animals are in the area with a couple sniffs.
And that boys is the reason why I use Axe fresh tree body spray.
@@lavette916 😂 haha that primal way
It's like a superhighway of wildlife. I'm amazed at the diversity of animals that used this trail.
I love the sound being included. Great job and so interesting !
That tree is the Facebook of the forest, everybody leaving a message.
Checking their pee mail
Gosh!!
The messages left on Facebook are pure aids
@@Sii6X Hey my buddy, please don’t use his name like that❤️🤛
I was thinking the same thing LOL
I watch a lot of nature videos, Canadian. American, Romanian, Japanese, Scottish, and I have to tell you that yours are amazing. Great content, superbly edited! Thanks from Canada.
Let’s just take a moment to realize how good bears are at dancing
Baloo taught us when we were kids :D
A trail that none of them will forget.Cute.
Lol, I was loving that. They press up against the tree and dance like pros
Interesting that none of the animals bothered that one tree until the human came along and "marked" it. Then the poor tree was marked many times further by the animals, lol.
It’s the smell of sex, fear, and thirst. He made it himself.
The trail probably leads to a water source and all the animals had a truce to share it until the human interfered and broke the treaty :)
bruh, we mark things just like animals do
@@keepinmahprivacy9754 😂🤣😂
@@keepinmahprivacy9754 well it’s in Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota, all trails lead to water
It is interesting to see the lack of activity during the winter time. It illustrates how the forest in the winter, despite being scary and cold, is relatively safe for camping. I didn’t see any coyotes or bears. Only foxes and I’m definitely not afraid of a fox. So if you want to go solo camping but scared, winter is the safest time.
Bears are hibernating; unless you stumble across their den. They start coming out early spring, that's when they are really irritable because they haven't eaten for a while.
@@returnoftheromans6726 Oh yeah, good point. Wouldn’t want to be walking around alone when the bears come out of their cave emaciated and starving, I’d be setting myself up for a snack.
Ya sure…..when the wolves are extra hungry
Unless there is a bear whose is a light sleeper.....
Minnesota in the winter is darned cold, fyi!
So cool! Wolves are my favorite animal, every time one trotted by it brought a smile to my face LOL. Thanks for posting!
Thank you VWP for the 5.5 hours of trail capture for viewer enjoyment. I thoroughly enjoyed the distilled 15 minutes of the animals traversing their boulevard. Fantastic footage of animals in their natural environs.
So good to see the natural activity and rhythms that proceed as they always have outside of our narrow anthropocentric world. Gives me hope.
Animals are so precious, I hope humanity starts taking care of the enviroment and all of its creatures.
Never realized how easy it was to turn bears into pole dancers
Godnnes so true... Lol
It's beary easy
Like they always say, you can get a bear to pole dance, but you cannot get one to stop
Those bears are more attractive than some pole dancers in ohio....
@@johnhurd6243 the Spokane showgirls is Poppin 💰💰💰
Thank you for sharing this video. I put this on while my grandchildren were over to play. The excitement we all experienced as each new animal moved into frame! They are 4 and 3 years old. When they went home they told their parents they saw a moose and it was a girl because she didn't have antlers. Better than Blippi any day.
Dear Voyergeurs, Thank you so much for sharing this video. I love to see wildlife acting "natural".-Paul
Imagine walking by in the middle of nowhere, and peeing against that tree, only to find yourself on You Tube
Did that one time. During the process, I spotted a trail camera.
Heeeheeehaaa
Hilarious!!! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
@@chrislongwill3881 OMG!!! Really??? 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I often wonder..
Love how all the animals use the same trail, every day. Then they show their young the trail, and the cycle continues. The bears are never in a hurry, while the smaller creatures are a flash. Love red squirrels. Such little red balls of fury. Always mad and yelling at anything that's not them. 😆 They get really rowdy during the early spring during mating season, and you'll see the males with a piece of tail missing or a ragged ear.
They all pass that scented tree every day like its something new.
"(Just on my way hom.......) Wait: What's this!?!"
"Have I seen this before?"
It just be like a comments section on youtube. Everyone has to leave their stink. ;)
Wildlufe-newspaper!😂
Could be a new scent.
LMAO I'm sitting here watching all the bears and wolves and other predator animals walk through this trail, and then the deer came up at 2:30 and it's face just looks like "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit" 😭🤣
I thought the same! Deer: "Oh crap, how did I wind up in this hood again?!"
lots of animals but only 2 deer ....rather odd ... normal cams have lots of deer
@@merlemerle788 It is not odd if you consider that this particular trail is frequented by predators. Deer will avoid an area that smells like anything “scary” to them. That’s why hunters work so hard to get all the scent out of their clothes and gear.
@None Ofya are you sure that you can accurately assess that from only one point of view in a forest?
@None Ofya interesting. I am in Georgia as well (coweta county). Is the area you refer to public land or private? In your opinion, do you think the wolves or bears pose a greater threat to the deer population? If the deer population has dwindled in that area (I’m not disputing your assessment) what would be the wolves primary source of food? I see rabbits and other small critters in the video, so I guess they have plenty of prey.
lol its really funny 2 see the bears and wolves go back and forth marking that spot with their scent
Bears, wolves, coyotes, foxes, Moose, and more all using the same game trail? Awesome!
Sounds like I need to get a new tree stand! 😂
Also squirrel and deer. 🤔
Moose and squirrel, like Rocky and Bullwinkle. 😉
Also saw what looked like a marten.
You all didn’t see the ninjas?
- Exactly
That tree was the absolute main character. What a masterpiece!
thank you for doing this... I watch this each time I get lost and forget the beauty and diversity of life outside of a city.
Ruffed Grouse at 14:40. At the beginning Nashville Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, and Winter Wren singing.
awesome!
Thanks for naming the birds. I'm in Australia.
Thank you!
It’s amazing how all of a sudden that bobcat just shows up
I thought it was a bobcat! The two huge male and female mooses too! ( : They were sooo big compared to our tree! ( :
I think that same thing everytime I load up Red Dead Redemption II... in between the terrified screams, of course.
I was more surprised of the red panda
I'm in love with this video. I'm going to watch this at work every time I want to be outside with nature, but I can't because I have to be a grown-up and work on spreadsheets. 🙃😉
This is the equivalent of animal texting dirty messages to each other lol. Bears just rub themselves and dance all over the smell. And the deer want no part of it. Then wolf walks by with his homies and his buddy looks right at the camera like.. hey Gregg? You ever get the feeling we’re being watched? Imma go the other way in case they jump me..
This was so cool to watch! Thank you for making this video? I can't get over all the different wildlife species you picked up on the trail. Amazing! What the heck was that you rubbed on the tree? 😂
Love seeing all the wildlife on this trail. Busy and happy!
That bear 🐻 works some crazy hours.
This was so great ! A peek into the woods from the comfort of my bed ! I love the woods and especially black bears, although I wouldn't want to meet up with one. Thank you for making this incredibly interesting video !
I've seen quite a few when I lived in Wisconsin. Never up close, though. They're actually pretty shy. But we were taught to go the other way when we saw them anyway. Especially if they had babies.
Love when the animals stick their noses to the camera! And bears are especially interested in marking their territory, I did not know that.
Some of the most variety in a trail cam ever!! Bravo for the location, and hats off to the battery changer
Some of the better long term trail cams now have solar panels that keep them charged up.
The trail cam we bought this past winter has a port just for a solar panel charger.
I might have to buy it and the rechargeable batteries cuz im going broke battery wise lol. I got to teach the hubby to turn the frigging thing off when he's out back working. I had 100 plus photos of him mowing/cutting wood etc... oh and our silly dog triggers it more than anything. I swear she just likes to have her pic taken
This is the absolute coolest wildlife film I’ve ever seen!! I feel I’m seeing inside this world that most of us never know about. Did I see a badger? I didn’t realize so many different animals utilize common trails. I think I thought they would never do this somehow. And moose!! Clever of you to put a distraction in front of the camera. Some of the animals were a little thinner than I would want them to be. Thank you so much!! This should win a prestigious award - it’s wonderful!!
November 4th and Dec2 what were those?
@@jaimegann3439 looks like wolverine. Some rare footage.
Looks like a fisher. Another commenter said a wolverine, but a wolverine's tail is shorter (I thought)
Great footage. I got so use to the Bears and Wolves I was expecting Bullwinkle to make an appearance
Best 15 minutes of my weekend, loved the video!
Best trail camera video I have had the privilege to watch in years.
The sound of the spring peepers brings back memories too ❤
Most interesting thing I’ll watch on TH-cam today, or many days
The cubs walk scatteredly heheheh must be tough being momma bear with such active minions. 😆 Oh and the bear that scratch his back on the tree, so cuute, he's like dancing 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
I could watch this over and over! You quite literally have all the most amazing creatures on earth on camera!! #obsessed
This was great!! really enjoyed it. That surely is a Bear Highway! with lots of other commuters :-) I wonder what the hurry was for the July 29 bear, lol! Thank you for this great video and your work.
So great to know there are still some wild creatures out there going about their lives.
That squirrel jump on July 10th was a personal favorite.
That stuff he put on the tree had the animals going crazy especially the bears.
Might have been birch tar
Im so curious to know what it was. They seemed to catch a buz
Bear nip!
Found the video owner’s reply on what they used in an older comment - it was skunk essence.
That's amazing they even got footage of several different fishers. Those things I find are so rare and surprisingly intelligent.
What are the timestamps for the fishers? I don't know what they are
Pretty sure that was a marten
@@lukeferrell5242there was one fisher at 9:05
Awesome video that little tree gets a lot of use
This was absolutely awesome. What a wide variety of animals on one trail Love this video. Need more.
