Best Trail Cam Videos of 2022 ~ My 12 Favorites! 

Ha Ha, so true! :)

I used to see grouse any time I was in the woods here in Virginia; for the last 25 years I've been lucky to even hear one "beating" once or twice in a year's time.

I love capturing those pups! Glad you enjoyed the video, Deb! Thanks for watching.

I enjoyed seeing that as well when I checked the SD cards. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed them!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree, it was hard putting them in order! Thanks for watching!

Glad youy enjoyed them and those grouse are fun to watch for sure!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks Richard! I'm so glad you love the videos, and I love getting out there with Stryder making them. More to come! It's this that inspires me to keep at it and share!

Glad you enjoyed it

I agree! My favorite Maine animal.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

@@MaineWoodsbooger I’m keenly interested in our local flora and fauna, I live in eastern Ontario. The trail cameras footage you are sharing are gems. I’ve been tramping around for more than 50 years and have some fine memories and encounters with wildlife. Some of the footage you have might never have been recorded. Like the Cat catching the weasel? And many other things. Thank you for sharing that. Also great to see Moose are doing well in Maine! I also thought your footage of the cougar? Was interesting, was that a cougar on your site , or am I think of another channel? If it’s a cougar, then that’s a big deal.

@@peterparsons7141 I've never gotten a cougar on my cams, must have been another channel. I would love to capture one here in Maine though!

Ah yes, The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe!

Thank you so much for the kind words Ron. I just love getting out in the woods when I can, and try hard find nice, remote spots. Of course, many of them don't always pan out. I'm hoping 2023 will be a great year and I'll have a lot to share!

Glad you liked them! Be sure to check out my Canada Lynx videos if you haven't seen them already.

Thanks!

Thanks, cheers!

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it, Brad. Fingers crossed for some good videos this year.

So glad you liked it!

Glad you enjoyed!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the wildlife!

Glad you liked it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, I thought those pups were pretty special too!

I agree, so cute!

Thanks so much! More to come.....

You're very welcome! So glad you enjoy them!

This is what keeps me out there getting this footage, you made my day! I'm so glad that my videos bring you into the woods again. Be sure to subcribe, it's free and I have quite a few videos.

Many thanks!

You're very welcome, thanks for watching!

Happy New Year, Dave! Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks I appreciate the kind words! Lot's trail camera adventures on my channel, and much more to come!

You're too kind, Kevim! Marty Stouffer and David Attenborough were my heroes growing up. I'm looking forward to sharing much more this year.

Thanks my friend!

As always, thanks Vermonter and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Kim and Brent!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, April! Lot's more to come.

I'm glad you enjoyed them Bob, and I've already started saving my favorites of 2023 so far. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm glad you liked this. Happy New Year Chelese! Hope you have a great year.

Thanks, that's always the fun. Never knowing what we might get!

Thanks! Those grouse are fun to watch. When I was a kid I always wondered what made that sound in the woods.

Thank you for the kind words, David. I'm glad you enjoyed! It defininately takes some effort to find good spots, but that's the fun for me. Good exercise to boot. S.C. has some different wildlife I'd enjoy looking for. Happy New Year.

Don't think I want to be that close to moose breath. But it is nice seeing all of these up close and personal.😊

Thanks buddy, I'm glad we have shared many adventures together!

Many thanks!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy it! 2023 coming soon!

Glad you liked it!

I'm so glad you enjoy the channel! All of these videos were captured in Maine. Lot's more to come!

Thanks Carol!

Let's hope we get even more exciting footage in 2023! Outside of the box!

Thanks, Melissa!

Welcome aboard! I'd love to visit Austrtaila someday. What a long plane trip that would be. Cheers from Maine, USA mate!

Sure does!

I love Oregon! Thanks and I'm glad you liked it. Cheers form Maine!

you're very welcome, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I love the bobcat too.

@@MaineWoodsbooger what critter was the Bobcat trying to capture?

@@markfreemantle7608 a mink.

@@markfreemantle7608 A mink.

Thanks Patryk! I appreciate the good karma.

Thanks Colleen, I'm so glad you enjoyed the clips!

Thank you! It was hard to choose. :)

Thanks, it's always fun checking these cams, never knowing what I'll get. Yes, it's definitely a waiting game!

LOL, that's funny! I never thought about that.

Rt 6 and 15 not rt 16.

@@bradcorrea9963 I believe they are studying mortality due to winter ticks. This bull looks nice and healthy.

Yes he does.

Thanks! I use Browning Recon Force series cams.

Sure thing! I use Browning Recon Force series cameras, mainly the Advantage and the new HP5.

Thanks Michael! I like the Browning Recon Force series, specifically the Advantage (out of production unfortunately) and the new Elite HP5, which seems to be holding up well so far.

Thanks, and I'm so glad you enjoy the channel! I highly recommend the Browning Recon Force Elite HP5, they are a nice camera and I've had good luck with them. Video is so much fun, as you get to see the action.

Good point! I do try to that. I'll do better. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I use all Browning cameras. The latest model I'm using is the Browning Recon Force Elite HP5. Excellent quality. I'm not sponsored by them either. Thanks for watching!

Very interesting thanks! Oh, of course your video was wonderful!! Thanks for getting back to me! We are looking to buy some cameras to spy on animals too, but we didn’t know what brand to buy! Have you ever seen Ace Vlogs? He does all sorts of cool animal, cam videos too!

I understand that!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them! These were with the Recon Force Advantage. I am currently starting to use the new Elite HP5, as the Advantages are out of production now.

I love the bobcats too. That is a Ruffed Grouse, and us Mainers call them partridge. :)

Thanks!

Thanks Dona, and I hope you get some nice footage/pics! That's a great question, and to be honest I've spent years in the woods and have learned so much about the species in my area. I also read as many books as I can, and then get out in the woods. There is a lot of trial and error. I always look for food, water, and habitat.

Thanks! That's a great question actually. I have studied wildlife basically my entire life and have been an avid outdoorsman as well. I study the habits of different species and learn as much as I can about them. Then, it's just scouting out locations, and putting boots on the ground. There is a lot of failures as well. I've tried some locations that I thought were going to be epic, and nothing! I find google earth to be a great tool.

@@MaineWoodsbooger Thanks for the reply! There is definitely more to putting out cameras then what most people think! My goal this year is for more scouting and to get my boots on the ground more! Over the past month I've been doing a lot of searching with online maps looking for potential locations I want to check out this spring! Looking to target new species and terrain. Would like to have the content to be able to post more. I started a few years ago but looking to get back into BIG time this year!

@@207wild. I’m no expert, just thought I’ll put it out there- you may need to wait some time after setting up your camera to give your scent time to wear away. Some animals may be very sensitive and avoid the entire area with your scent, which may take weeks to wear away. So sites you chose without success may turn to gold after your traces are gone 😊

Glad you enjoyed! Those cats ae Bobcats.

@@MaineWoodsbooger thanks. I thought bobcats had no tails so I didn't think that that was what they were. I wondered if they were lynx. I just Googled it and learned that lynx and bobcats are the same. I saw a lynx once in Canada but here in Missouri people talk about seeing bobcats and never realized they were the same

suggestion: subtitling the species ID might appeal to viewers from away if they're interested in learning more about the animals here

Thanks! I rarely get moose in the southern Maine, but the western mountains and further north are very productive. Trail cams are a ton of fun for sure, never know what you're going to get. As far as the naming the species, I do sometimes do that, and I appreciate the suggestion!

Hard to choose for sure. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos, thanks for watching!

Moose are my favorite as well, they are amazing animals. #2 is the ruffed grouse and you got it, he was looking for love!

Thanks Rochelle, this is a Ruffed Grouse.

@Maine Woodsbooger thank you! I need to learn more about this bird. It's been mentioned several times on the FBooke Maine page.

Notice, the bird is standing on s hollow log to amplify the sound of his wing beats - mating behavior.

I, a human, was truly impressed with those those wing beats. If I were a lady grouse, I'd be in complete thrall.

These are put on by our moose biologists, and are designed that way. I inquired about it, and there haven't been any issues.

Thanks! It's a bobcat actually.

oh ok and what was the animal it caught ? cheers

@@user-hz6jp7lt7z it was a mink.

@@MaineWoodsbooger oh right thankyou

THey seem to lioke doing that, LOL. Thanks for watching!

@@MaineWoodsbooger did you know the animals go to heaven with us? i got this news recently its fantastic. first Jesus turned me into a weirdo pet prophet and gave me songs to call the animals like Noah must have done. and then showed me verses about it. here ill show you and if you want i can give you some childrens stories about the animals He gave me. Jesus gave me more scripture confirmation on the animals and its sweet! one of the fun jobs of the two witnesses is this, there are a lot of other perks and a lot of agony The two witnesses are pet prophets look at this we know who they are. Eye has not seen nor ear heard of the things God has prepared for us at the end times. Its more exciting than scary to me. who ever even heard of a pet prophet? Jesus has made a woman pet prophet singing like Noah and Mrs Noah to call the animals the first thing i got for the end times was seeing all the animals singing before the throne of God and the rhinoceros rapture story that later He gave me ten verses about. this is so fun. Joke from Jesus soon they will be calling you a false pet prophet saying you got my dawgs song wrong. Dont worry about the animals. look i found a verse about the animals and the singing woman pet prophet! One of the two witnesses is a woman if you read the bible and stop assuming who it is God will show you. I know her and i knew it He is taking the animals with a covenant [Hos 2:14-15, 18-19 KJV] 14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall *****(((((sing)))))**** there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. ... 18 ****(((((((And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.)))))))*****19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. Some kind of seal song for the animals they are all different like our seals too some are funny even. The 144000 seals also look like new names and seal songs. John the revelator is the other witness and he also saw the animals singing before the throne like i did. He is one of the witnesses [Rev 5:13 KJV] 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. I saw them from one new moon to another and one sabbath to another singing then heard Jesus singing back. [Isa 66:23 KJV] 23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. [Isa 34:14-17 KJV] 14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. 15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate. 16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. 17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein. Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. - Psa 69:34 KJV one of the songs A mouse named Gravy Lived in a shoe Rode in your pocket And comforted you He had a good time He did say to me Riding around with my sister and me He started to creak And grew very old So he called the the Lord And his story he told The Lord God Almighty Looked down from on high And took him to heaven After he died Now he is waiting In his wooden shoe And soon you can meet him And talk with him too

They are cute for sure! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.

I promise I'll hide the footage. :) I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

I love getting babies on the cams, and I always hope to get more. As far as the collar, the biologists leave it loose for growth, but I neglected to ask if they are break away. I do dooubt it though, and they did say getting hung up hasn't been an issue.

It's a Ruffed Grouse, and they make a really cool sound with their wings. Thanks for watching!

I use Browning Recon Force series trail cameras.

Thanks, it's definitely rare. That was a large male mink.

I use Browning cameras. I highly recommend the Browning Recon Force Elite HP5. (I'm not affiliated with Browning either)

Thanks! Most of this footage is from northwestern Maine.

It's a Ruffed Grouse, and this is the male with his mating display. Crazy bird!

Ah, I was correct about him showing off! I hadn’t read all the comments before asking as I was curious, too!

I thought that as well, however it's designed that way for growth, per the biologists.
