Trail cams, IMO, are consistently joyous, serene, amusing--just critters going about their business. (I imagine there are instances of violent demise, but fortunately I haven't yet encountered any.) Thank you for rigging this cam; it's great seeing beasts wandering here and there, keeping appointments, visiting friends and relatives, walking off extra calories. The bears and coyotes, especially, seem so purposeful. Where are they going? Do they worry about being late? Will they be scolded if they are late? Do they feel guilty about not telling their friends that they're taking off for a while? Why are my socks now mismatched when they weren't before? Most animals don't worry about footwear, I imagine. Our next door neighbors moved and took their chickens with them. (We live near Denver and it's okay to have chickens in your yard. They were rather noisy at times but we miss them.) I had my appendix removed when I was six; my wife's gallbladder was extracted about fifteen years ago.

Incredible video, really cool seeing all the bears.

This was GREAT!!! 💕seeing all the animals, especially the bears💓

Darling little girl sending love out to all the world! Thank you sweetheart for making my day!

Great video! How long were your cameras out there? We have just put some browning cameras out in Costa Rica and it will be a good test for them during the rainy season.

It took a few months to find the trail. After that I’d get something once a month or so. This footage is over about a year. (dates are on the bottom of the video)

Good post! No nonsense but good content. Thanks!

Cool Nathan. Thanks for posting that! It was really fun to see all our local wildlife and your daughter I'm guessing re-finding the trail cam in February. I'm delighted that you caught a rare Pacific fisher. In our 20 years of visiting our cabin at the Crest I've only seen a Pacific fisher once. I surprised one very early in the morning when I was cross country skiing. It tried it's best to hide behind the tree trunk it climbed and then peaked out and tried to scare me away every few minutes. The one animal I didn't see in your captures are the nocturnal sugar glider squirrels (flying squirrels) that I very occasionally see if I'm walking at night without a flashlight on. When you hear a sound in the trees, quickly shine a light at the sound and you may briefly see them and their big eyes (and temporarily irritate their sensitive nocturnal eyes). Oh, duh, you probably don't capture them because their eyes are so sensitive that they would avoid the camera's infrared lights. Again, thank you for that interesting video!

No it's not dangerous normally at all. As long as you don't accidentally get between a mother bear and her cubs, it's only the mountain lion (also known as a cougar) that you need to avoid. If you are alone and not talking with someone on the trail, whistling or singing a little every now and then does the trick because wild animals are frightened of humans and will usually scatter long before you surprise them, and they surprise you.

I forgot to directly address your question about sleeping in the woods. I've haven't met anyone attacked while sleeping in the woods, so I think it's pretty uncommon. Encounters with wild animals almost always happens when you are walking through the woods. So like I said in the other reply below, it's best to travel with a friend or if alone make some sounds as you go along so that they can scatter before you surprise them. It's usually only when you surprise them that wild animals are dangerous.

No grizzlies in California anymore, but some of the "black" bears can be brown. But the California Grizzly is extinct.

+Scott Sexton I get a lot of videos triggered at night with no animal. These might be the squirrels... the camera probably isn't fast enough to catch them.

Many more predators than prey

Looks like the bears thought the trail cam was a pic-a-nick basket!

Lots of wildlife in the area. Beautiful thanks for sharing.

I think the bear was a camera man in a previous life. He’s not trying to eat the camera. The bear is simply going for a better angle.

da bears ALWAYS seem to find the camera.

The infrared light has a red glow that bears can see.

Great video ! I wonder if the brown and black bear ever tangle with each other?

@12:27 Freeze and advance frame by frame, you'll get a look at those nice sharp claws! It wanted more than a back scratch hehe.

It never fails that bears try to eat the cameras in these videos.

You should mount your cams higher on the trees. There's a lot of thieves out there.

That bear really wants that camera ! Lol

The best part was at the end. : )

Very nice video footage!! We get our raccoon, possum and stray cats on our trail cam, we post it on our porch and in our yard. Its very soothing to watch the footage. New friend n subb8e here. 🌺🌹🥀 Love the bear footage.

Many black bears in the Southern Sierra have brown coats (these are called ‘cinnamon bears’). Grizzly bears in California are extinct.

@@RocektshipMonkey -- Wouldn't mess with one anyway! There are plenty of Brown Bears in and around Yellowstone and they are bigger and more aggressive than Black Bears. In the American Museum of Natural History in NYC there is a Brown Bear exhibit in the North America section and one of them is on all fours while the other one, killed and weighed at 1600 lbs, is standing upright at about 10 feet tall -- I see that coming for me and I save the last bullet for me.

It sure looked like one. I think it had a hump on its shoulder. They used to be in CA. The state seal has a grizzly on it.

Bigfoot hate game cams best way to get them to leave something along. But they sometimes go behind them and put an arm or hand in a shot.

No moose?

Yeah. He seems to hang out for a month or so then go away and come back again later in the years. He seems to go away roughly when the bears start showing up :-)
