The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.

Fun fact: During the Pleistocene, this area was most certainly home to way more animals. Such as the absolutely colossal Giant Short-faced Bear (Arctodus simus). Just like the Grizzlies and Black Bears in this video, mothers raised their cubs only. With the father having no job in raising his offspring. They also died out quite recently. Around 10,000 years ago. In fact, many recent (2018-2022) isotopic and DNA analysis and fossil finds have shown that Arctodus simus coexisted, competed, and dominated the still extant and much smaller American Black Bears and Grizzlies.

Thank you, Susan! We currently use Browning and Bushnell trail cameras. Wolves are (understandably) the most wary of cameras (which is what you see at 12:47, not a coyote), and bears are certainly the most curious- we've lost quite a few to their chomping on them 😂 Glad you enjoyed the footage!
I noticed that about the coyotes, too. There was also a moose who was very aware of the camera. First simply staring at it, and then a moment later inches away sniffing it and looking right in the lens.
@@davisappletv9931 Yes, that's actually a cow elk 🙂
Watch also Kevin Jeffery just found his today.
Holy heck batman! Seriously, that's the most well done wild cam footage I've ever seen.
Thanks, Bonny!
So many beautiful families! Even badgers! Lovely mountain lion kits.
Exactly
Greeting from Australia. Really terrific footage of these glorious animals. Thanks for posting.
Hello! Thanks so much
What a wonderful collection of wild animals Thanks greetings from Scotland.
Thank you! Hello from Montana 🙂
Amazing footage , love hearing the pumas calling. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! It is fun to hear 🙂
Love the bears thete so funny scratching on the trees . Great footage . The mountain lion sound , real different. And the animals notice the camera too .
Thanks, Nancy! They do notice when there's something out of place in their environment for sure. Glad you enjoyed it all
Amazing captures on video! Especially of the bears and the mountain lions. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching.
Gorgeous footage, thank you so much for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great collection! Thanks for sharing. Living in the Seeley Swan valley is a true blessing!
It is! One we try to never take for granted. Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
Where is Seeley Swan Valley?
@@cherylbarkley8471northwestern Montana, just south of Glacier National Park.
Great stuff, I live close to the Swans now and fish there a lot. Long harsh winters so not much small game like I grew up with rabbits, quail and squirrels are non existent. Watching these predators prowl the woods I can see why combined with the -25 degree nights we just had. Thanks for sharing!
It can be a tough place to survive. Thanks for watching!
Hey SVC, Having recently started using a trail cam and viewing tons of KZhead videos, this is the best content that I have seen! Cool seeing baby badgers. Never seen that before anywhere. Great job by Luke! I've subscribed and look forward to viewing other videos on your channel. Tom from Northern Illinois
Animals walking and moving. Heads are turning and butts are shaking. Animals moving and moving ! Greetings from Finland
This nature trail cam caught extraordinary footage, I absolutely LOVE it !
I never saw so many mountain lions in one area and all together!!! Wow!!! Beautiful!!! I thought they were solitary animals. .
We're continuing to learn more and more about their complex social lives!
Really scored with this selection of clips. Elk was great to see.
Is this Idaho or Montana?🤔 It is hands down the best trail cam video I've ever seen! You had me with the mountain lions, but then the family of badgers came up. What a magical place! The itchy bear, otter, beaver, coyote, wolf, and all the babies were great. And I think I possibly saw a mink, too. :^)
Definitely MT…great non-profit out of Condon…please support their work!
@@carolprichard8244 Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Thanks to Carol for stepping in (we don't check our KZhead comments enough, but will try to be better!) - but yes, northwest Montana! We're incredibly lucky to be between two Wilderness areas and share the landscape with so many amazing native species. It truly is a unique and wild place, and we try to be the best stewards we can be for it.
This was the best viewing of wildlife I’ve seen here. What a great place to observe. Thank you for sharing!
@@sheilasf195 Thank you, Sheila! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was so special to observe, thank you for recording all of these beautiful creatures and making this video!!
U 😍
This is some really excellent footage. Thanks for posting. I know I’m 2 years behind the party but you just popped up in my recommendations today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pesma goniča je najlepša. Još kad ovako oblajava svinju na mestu, eto ti adrenalina !!! Volim lov !!!!!!
Never having used a trail cam kzhead.infoUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.
Fabulous! thank you so very much. From Western Australia.
Absolutely gorgeous animals. Must be Canada. Even the rare, elusive Golden Retriever was shown. 😊 Thank you for sharing your nature with us.
Montana! 🙂Happy to share
It’s in Montana. It’s a good thing the U.S. has gorgeous animals here, too! 😁… I’ve been there with my family during the Fall season and a lot less tourists and it’s absolutely beautiful there. There’s a few small towns and beautiful camping areas around Montana to stay at.
@@HappyGirl92593 Thank you, Wifey.
Wonderful! Thank you. I'm amazed by so much diurnal activity. Makes you want to go more quietly and pay more attention when you walk in the woods!
Glad it's inspired you! 🙂
Very beautiful area and to see all the wildlife is truly wondrous.
at 12:37: The wolf noticing the incongruous camera and immediately getting leery is outright stunning!
They're (understandably) very alert and we don't often get them on camera!
Wonderful trailcam footage! Imagine....five pumas in one frame! Zowie!
Thank you!
Excellent quality, very nice camera!!
recently found these videos and your page and i just am in awe. Been watching them before bed every night and its the perfect way to end the day
We love that! Glad you're enjoying them 🙂
That was simply amazing, well done. The best yet of trail cams Ive seen!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. The Swan is a special place 🙂
16:04 Swan Valley…..I really enjoy watching trailcam videos…….Thanks for sharing all the great footage …..so much activity and a wide variety……❣️😊❣️😊❣️
Glad you enjoy them!
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon def enjoy them, tyvm
Oh,wow! This absolutely madey day and night! Netter than any Christmas gift! Thank you! From Southern Minnesota...previously Northern Manitoba.
So happy you enjoyed it so much!
Excellent footage. Thank you.
In addition to the animals, the sun and the silence are mesmerizing
incredible. truly incredible. and not by and for an audience that simply wants to blast them all. so glad that there are folks like you in the west who like animals and don't view them all as pests.
Thank you, James! From grizzlies to gophers, they each play an important role in our ecosystem.
Great video, that really show the possibilities with a well placed trail camera.
Extreme thanks from Australia.
glad you enjoyed!
I love watching the storms move in over the swann,,,,beautiful country...
Us too! We're certainly lucky to call it home and share it with all of these incredible species.
Seen a lot of trail camera footage . . . nothing as amazing as this. Camera placement was spot on. Great job!
Thank you!
Wow, those bald eagles were huge, what, maybe 3 or 4 years? You guys covered all the beautiful creatures of the forest. Thank you so much.
Probably 1.5-2 years old! (More brown than white on their heads). Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
Ah sorry - just went through it again and there are two with totally white heads, so yes- probably 4.5+ years old! (Hard to keep track of all that's in this video hah)
That guy running down the hill was huge.
Just a fantastic video love all the animals ❤
Amazing footage, pure wealth to see such abundant wildlife & nature!
🙂
Great Video!!!! So clear, crisp, Love It!
Thank you!
Hey, thanks for posting. Been a few years since I've been up by the lakes. I used to truck through there and stop at the mill for wood chips. Very good quality. We have way too many of them big bears around now, I wish they would open up a season on them, I want a rug.
This is absolutely the best wildlife cam footage compilation I’ve ever seen. What a treat!! For those who arent familiar with this region of the 🇺🇸, Swan Valley is in Montana, not far from Glacier National Park. When you look at the bears, Black bears can be black or brown. Grizzly bears are much larger, and always have that distinctive hump between their shoulders.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon loved it & shared it🙂
Fun fact: During the Pleistocene, this area was most certainly home to way more animals. Such as the absolutely colossal Giant Short-faced Bear (Arctodus simus). Just like the Grizzlies and Black Bears in this video, mothers raised their cubs only. With the father having no job in raising his offspring. They also died out quite recently. Around 10,000 years ago. In fact, many recent (2018-2022) isotopic and DNA analysis and fossil finds have shown that Arctodus simus coexisted, competed, and dominated the still extant and much smaller American Black Bears and Grizzlies.
Thanks for sharing!
Great wildlife video! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
i see you've captured the ever elusive humans in there too! amazing
This is the best I've ever seen. What an incredible place
So many itchy bears, lol. It’s amazing when the shots show a giant grizzly on a camera and the the same camera shows people in the same spot later. Shows how close our paths cross.
It's incredible isn't it?
Plus you can see those trees don’t stand a chance against the huge grizzlies
It's heaven - hope humanity rises to the occasion, but Earth needs triage. Thank you for magnificent footage.,♡
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice variety of wildlife. Really enjoyed this video so much! Your Oregon Viewer.
Thank you!
Amazing footage. Thank you for sharing with us.
Happy to 🙂
Amazing job thanks for sharing your beautiful video
I love all of these awesome, precious critters!!!!!!!!
How much Peace. This is Beautiful and Crazy to See people on the same Spot as bears etc.
WOW y'all got quite the variety of wildlife out there! 😍 Wait, where is this filmed? I figured west coast or something. Yes?
Montana!
Nature is Gods Temple. This is some awesome footage of Mother Nature, in all her beauty, without man trying to manipulate it or destroy it completely. Thank you.
Beautiful wildlife. Liked and subscribed
Thanks, Cindy! Stay tuned..we share a lot of our videos during our annual "Wild for Wildlife" fundraising campaign, which runs for the month of November.
Both bear and mountain lion were ancient shamans' supernatural power animal allies.
Incredible! Thanks!
Watching from good ole Blighty❤️
Magnificent tracking and captures. I could spend hours watching. And what remarkable biodiversity!!! It should be noted that Wolves are distrustful animals, they capture any alteration in the environment, They are the ones who, upon noticing the camera trap, act cautiously, they are amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. I would really like to work in a place like this.
Thank you, Esteban! It's true. Before hunting and trapping were allowed, we would see them on camera more often, but they are understandably wary now and incredibly smart!
Wolves can be hunted again?
@@kareharpies There is a wolf hunting and trapping season in Montana, yes.
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon So this was in Montana?
@@chairlesnicol672 yes
Amazing footage. TY 😊
That was brilliant to watch thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
Отличные кадры! Братья наши меньшие, какие вы красивые.
Thank you!
Awesome trail cam footage l enjoyed it.
Amazing footage! Thanks
Happy to share- thanks for watching!
Beautiful!! I could watch this All Day : )
🙂
:27 Look at the height of that Grizzly scrape! That was a large bear!
JUST OUTSTANDING
Looks similar to Swan Valley in Idaho. Beautiful!
Awesome video and channel! Keep the Swan wild! Keep up the great work!! 👍🐻🏔️New local subscriber!
Thank you for following along! We're doing our best and appreciate the support - the Swan is a unique and special place that we're lucky to call home and share with all of these species🙂
A lot of cinnamon colored black bears in Montana. You can tell which are actual brown bears and which are just brown colored black bears by the hump. First bears are black bears, the second one scratching its back seemed to be a grizzly.
Correct! Coat color is not a reliable sign for determining grizzly vs black bear. The first bears in the bear bath are grizzlies (you can see their humps better as they're exiting the pool), and the second bear scent marking the tree is also a grizzly. We do have plenty of cinnamon black bears though!
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon Was it two adolescent grizzly’s? The humps seem underdeveloped and they overall were smaller so I wonder if they are a sibling pair just removed from living with mom, or a young mother herself perhaps because the one is smaller than the other.
@@lillonerboi504 Yes, seems to be a younger or just smaller mother and cub 🙂
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon Well they are adorable regardless. Hoping for a healthy life for them going forward.
@@lillonerboi504 They sure are! And thanks, us too 🙂
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great videos = straight to the extra good stuff. I'm curious = is this Swan Valley Idaho or Canada? Or neither = Swan Valley Montana. That makes sense.
Yep! MT
Great stuff, thank you! 👍🏼🐻🌲☀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
We stayed at Jake's cabins a couple of years ago. I have plans to cast a fly on a drift up river in September but, may not make it. Iguana
Quelle diversité d’animaux ! J’utilise une caméra coolife h881 pour ma chaîne et j’en suis très satisfait. Bravo pour cette vidéo et merci pour le partage. Bonne continuation !
Wow! That squad of 5 mountain lion was wild. I've never seen that many at once. That mom has her hands full! Great footage
She was a great mom!
❤Awesome!
Superb thanks
epic footage Ive never seen a badger
I hope people can get past fear and really appreciate the animals we still have.
The fear is a good thing. These beauties WILL EAT YOU
Isn't that what the bear man in Alaska always said before he and his wife were eaten alive?
@@gododgers3491 appreciation comes with respect
What do you want us to go move outdoors?? 🥴🤡
This is the best trail cam footage love to see eagles love to see more of them❤🎉
Omg fantastic amount of wildlife bears mountain lions wolves 🇬🇧
Hello how are you doing?
Wow, congrats man beautiful !!!
Holy smokes! I’ll be sure to never go to Swan Island. Grizzlies, mountain lions, wolves…I’m out! But your video is fantastic!!!
Wonderful footage!
I just love these you do a wonderful job. ty for sharing.
Thank you!
@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon you are welcome.I told my Son about your video's too.
@@kimlampkin Awesome 🙂
2024....Beautiful footage...closest we can get to grizzlies..lol..enjoyed every minute of it...thank you from Canada..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Everytime I see footage of cougars in the wild they always look as if they haven't had a meal in months
Life as a predator is tough...we do have a video of a mom with four almost-fully-grown kittens, and the whole family looks healthy!
lovely, phantastic, thanks for posting this video
