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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Im from northern Mn as well, I miss the clean air and nature.... Never forget the first time I ran into a black bear in the woods, so glad he was as scared of me as I was of him!!! Thanks for posting this and bringing me home for a little while...
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!
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.
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!

@@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!
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.
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.
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 CZcams, 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.
I grew up in northern Minnesota and this brings back memories of running around in the woods. Most of these critters were afraid of humans except badgers. I noticed most of the wolves were tagged and probably have a gps for research.. Thank you :)
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.
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
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.
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. :)

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.
@@ellen9119 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.
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.
OMG the cicadas are so noisy. I don’t mind them I. Real life but man on video like this is amped up. One musta been really close to the camera. As a MN resident of 37 years I must say this is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Thank you. Wonderful to see the Northwoods again. I used to spend childhood summers in the north Minnesota woods. Also, it's a nice surprise to see a cougar.
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..
"Is this thing working properly? Hmm... everything seems to be in order... uh huh... ok, we're good. Now where was i? Oh yeah... back to tree sniffing."
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.

Path of least resistance. And if you're ever lost and you find one, follow it. Usually leads to or from a water source.
All animal trails inevitably got followed by humans which turned into roads which became interstates.

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 😋
@@ellen9119 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.
Now I understand why my dog sniffs and pees every 10 feet. She's keeping the bears away. So far, so good.
That won’t keep the ninjas away though. You need a different plan for the ninjas.
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.
If you need a “bear bell”, just move.
@@dylconnaway9976 who are the ninjas?
It's like a superhighway of wildlife. I'm amazed at the diversity of animals that used this trail.
OMG the cicadas are so noisy. I don’t mind them I. Real life but man on video like this is amped up. One musta been really close to the camera.
As a MN resident of 37 years I must say this is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you.
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.
Ya'll know what that scent was
@@sledgehammer9739 especially after all those rainstorms
This is one of the best trail camera videos that I've watched.
That squirrel jump on July 10th was a personal favorite.
This was a great watch! Everything looks healthy and well fed. Quite the superhighway!
Animals are so precious, I hope humanity starts taking care of the enviroment and all of its creatures.
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
Love seeing all the wildlife on this trail. Busy and happy!
Great footage. I got so use to the Bears and Wolves I was expecting Bullwinkle to make an appearance
One of the best game trail camera activity I’ve every seen. All kinds of wildlife and heavy bear movement. Thanks!
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.
Wow, thank you for your work in making this. I soooooo enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing 👍
This is just wonderful. So fascinating and peaceful. Thank you 😊
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
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?
Yes, I loved the.. OH..NATURELL!!! 🤣🤙
IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO WATCH.
Also no aliens or Bigfoot. 🤔
Thank goodness no humans
@@Mr.majic_cracker HUH?!? ..............😕
Wonder how many cameras I've been on looking for sheds 😂
Thank you. Wonderful to see the Northwoods again. I used to spend childhood summers in the north Minnesota woods. Also, it's a nice surprise to see a cougar.
Bobcat
@@willanderson1068 you're right. 14:56 Bobcat. Still great to see. Years of looking at tracks never appeared like this
lol its really funny 2 see the bears and wolves go back and forth marking that spot with their scent
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.
So cool! Wolves are my favorite animal, every time one trotted by it brought a smile to my face LOL. Thanks for posting!
I loved the mama bear with her two cubs! And they came through multiple times. 😍 Cuuuuuute.
Incredible video, these creatures have their own thoroughfare running straight through the forest. August 28th was amazing.
That tree was the absolute main character. What a masterpiece!
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..
That wolf at 7:34 was thinking, “damn bears”…
Nice work! I especially like seeing the martins & wolverines--beautiful
(meant to say martens, not martins!)
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 💰💰💰
11:43 was my favorite part. How the wolf stops and inspects lol
"Is this thing working properly? Hmm... everything seems to be in order... uh huh... ok, we're good. Now where was i? Oh yeah... back to tree sniffing."
that is not a wolf
We been sniffed
I just subscribed! This is my favorite video so far. I wish I could like it more than once. Fantastic job. I'm saving this one to watch again!
Just an awesome video, I was spellbound... Highlights for me were the fishers, the bobcat and especially the mountain lion
I love the sound being included. Great job and so interesting !
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.
Best trail camera video I've seen.. thank you...👊👍🏼
Watching again and again! So wonderful. 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
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
Thought I’d spend a minute or two looking at this senseless video. Watched all the way through. Looking for more now!
I could watch that all day. that bear was me going to the office every morning and a few days when he was late. I loved it.
