It was a dead tree that the bears rubbed against 4 years ago, and I think the scent they leave attracts other animals as well. It gets smaller every year. I was so excited to see the hawk and owl! Thanks!
Awesome video! Love the Great Horned Owl flying in and then in slow mo towards the camera. Can I ask what Browning camera you are using? I imagine you must be using a 512 gb card and solar panel to be able to run it for months without coming to check it? That seems to be one of the keys to getting lots of captures... along with locating a scent marking post like the one you found. All goals of mine. It would be great to see a video about your setups. I might do the same, but I only began using a solar panel this fall and see the incredible benefits. I have not had to do anything with that one camera since the beginning of October.
Thanks Jesse, and I sub'd to your channel, looking forward to see what you get on that cam. Great questions! I'm using the Browning Recon Force series cameras. Mainly, the Advantage and the new Elite HP5's, they are great on battery life and solid units. I use lithium batteries, and sometime get over a year out of them depending on the amount of videos, and length. I also use 128gb cards, and they are big enough, so far. I try and not check my cams to often, and I do believe it helps. I have thought about doing a set up video, and I think I will be doing one this year, probably sooner than later.
@@MaineWoodsbooger Awesome! Thanks so much for the sub and also for sharing your gear info. I am astounded that your cameras are lasting that long on lithiums. You must also have mastered reducing the amount of false triggers. I did recently get one cheaper camera. The Campark TC06 which can take up to a 128 gb card... I am curious to see how long I can get it to last out there. I checked my cameras over the holidays far too much and the wildlife activity dwindled down to not much at all. I figured it is time to just leave them alone. I do need to do more scouting to find scent marking posts. I know I have cats around, but they go nowhere near my cameras. I am trying lures, but this only seems to bring in fox and fisher... I would of course rather record natural behavior. Thanks again!
@@Geckocan Scent is good to use when needed for sure. I seem to get most of my false triggers in the early spring before green up. The combination of the sun angle, and wind really eats up the batteries that time of year.
I'd definitely be carrying if I decided to take a hike in those woods. Bear spray first and/or warning shot. Same with the moose. Out west in Idaho, etc. I'd be worried about mountain lions and wolves too. I watch those videos of unarmed hikers/bicyclists scared for their lives. I wouldn't take that risk even though it's relatively rare to encounter a predator, but it definitely happens at least every week in America somewhere I'm sure.
100% Agreed James. You may be able to see my sidearm in one of these clips. I would hate to use it, but it's there if needed. Bears in Maine almost always run away, but you never know. It's moose I worry about more. Thanks for watching!
I haven't used a solar panel with any of my Brownings. Lithiums seem to do real well, so I haven't had the need as of yet. My favorite model is the Browning Recon Force Advantage, and unfortunately they are discontinued now. I've been trying out two of the new Recon Force Elite HP 5 cams, and so far I like them.
Have you followed all of my videos over the past 3 years with this natural "stick"? It's actually a small spruce that got bent by snow and broke. It was then used as a rubbing stump, not a "stick" as it is rooted in the ground. I have added skunk essence twice to see what would change, and it didn't make a difference. Thanks for watching!
Lovely shot of owl and beats. Good spot
I'm glad you enjoy it April!
Great spot, so many different types of wildlife, and those bears 😂❤️
Thanks Roxanne, can't wait to get a cam back in there in the spring.
What a great spot….Loved this one!
Thanks Craig, one of my favorite spots!
Great to see a fisher. Good video.
Thanks Neil! I love the fisher.
Colin, that was some great video footage. The owl and fisher clips were fabulous, as was everything. So enjoyable!
Thanks so much Laurie and Drew! I am always excited to check that cam!
We really enjoyed this video!! Quite the variety of animals! The owl was amazing & the cubs were so cute!😀
Thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that owl was a pleasant surprise for sure. I can't wait to see the bears in the spring!
Incredible footage! I smiled through the entire video.
Well, this makes me smile! Thanks Stacy, I'm glad you enjoyed!
What a great diversity, owl flying right at the camera.
I was excited to see that!
You should be excited its a fantastic moments captured. thinking you should start a wager to see how long it takes to rub that stick down to nothing.
Two more seasons till the bears gave the sprue stump down to nothing. I'm calling it.
@@bradcorrea9963 You might be right!
Awesome pics! It's fun to see the bears having a rub down. Those little bears porked up real nice for the winter. 😊
Thanks, they look nice a healthy for sure! I'm looking forward to late winter when I can get a cam back in there.
Awesome! Just found your channel! Fellow Maineah! Btw that broken off tree gets a lot of action! Lol! Great channel
Thanks!
Why are all the wildlife so attracted to that particular stick stuck in the ground? Fantastic capture with the hawk and the great horned owl.

Thanks for the quick reply. Cool capture with the fisher it was huge. Congratulations on a fantastic job
That's the Official Stinky Stump.
@@ravensdotter6843 That it is!
Excellent vid as always!!
@Joe Holland Fishing Thanks so much for the support Joe, means a lot!

@@MaineWoodsbooger Yeah I figured you had some protection and yes moose definitely seem more aggressive. They're massive beast.
Wondering if you use a solar panel for your browning if so is there one you like more than otgers

@@MaineWoodsbooger thank you I’ve only watched the last 2 years. What part of the state are you in?
@@mymaineheritage2927 This is in western Maine.
@@MaineWoodsbooger thank you , keep them coming , do you hunt?
@@mymaineheritage2927 Will do, and yes, I have hunted hard over the years ;)
