Trail Camera: Over a Year in the UP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- My father set a trail camera out a the end of deer season 2013, on our property north of Escanaba. He forgot about it, and it stayed there for over two years, before I saw it while walking down the trail in November 2015. It had taken photos for over a year! We were amazed to see many pictures of deer, wolves, hare, coyotes, bears and bobcats.
Escanaba native here,
I've seen only one wolf in the Esky area and it was around this time, 2015 or so. I had no idea we had so many wolves in the area. Pretty incredible how well they can avoid people all things considered. I didn't know how many bobcats either wow! Great photos
Wolves have had a positive impact on the deer in the UP. We had WAAY too many deer in the UP, when theyre on every stretch of the highway and 50-100 in almost every field we have TOO MANY.. After a few seasons of rising wolf numbers the deer numbers are starting to fall where they shouldve been all along.
You should just change the batteries and give it to your dad as a gift again😁. Just got back from the UP, beautiful area.
You should really send this video into Bushnell. They may give you other cameras or something for showing how well there's held up and how long it worked for you. Very cool video!!
I agree
From the bottom of my heart, thanks for those beautiful and amazing videos and photos. May God bless you and your family.
Your Dad chose a perfect location for the camera! Hooray that he forgot it. Really interesting collection of photos :)
That was AMAZING to watch !!!may they ALL LIVE a LONG happy LIFE. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent Captures & a somehow heart touching Story 😌
Just had this pop up recommended. It’s awesome!! Wolves were very big surprise! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome pictures you have! Very cool video
Great video, thanks! Stationed in St. Ignace for 5 years sometime back. Loved it! Not a great economy up there and a lot of drinking going on, but if you love the outdoors then this is the place to be!
Good place to live off the land and enjoy life 😀🙌
Lol great comment
Lovey pics from the U.P. Thanks for sharing!
precious stuff thanks for sharing
Great pics!
THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE TO SEE THE WILD LIFE, AND ALL THIS IN YOUR BACK YARD? YOUR VERY LUCKY.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing!
You are so fortunate to have such a variety of wildlife on that property!!! I would love to have such diversity of species living near me!!! Conserve what you have , otherwise, many don’t view such wildlife diversity as essential and don’t care about its’ destruction.
I seen a large cougar in the UP many years ago on I-75! Beautiful cat ! Has anyone else seen one in Michigan area?
The DNR posted some videos of a cougar on a trail cam moving through Michigan, pretty exciting as it’s the first confirmed cougar sighting in Michigan for a while
Wow I loved that video. Thank You!
unbelievable mate. incredible footage.
cheers from down undah!
I love deer cam pics I love them so much too look at
Lots of coyotes & wolves there. Thank you
Awesome Video Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for sharing - glad to see that the UP still get snow - in central NY, the yearly snow cycle has really crapped out unfortunately
Wow I saw this post and your comment could not be more opposite of what is happening in this year. You guys are getting much needed snow. 💛
That is a great video! thanks for sharing.
awesome pictures / video.....forward thanks to your father for his placement.... THUMBS UP !!!!
I love you cam pics
Lovely thank you for sharing.
I love deer cam pics please
I love the UP. Spent 3 years at K I Sawyer AFB.
I never visited the U.P., but whold like to. I'm a native of Indiana but moved to Idaho for school. I've seen a few of those animals here in Idaho (deer, coyote, black bear, never seen a wolf though even though they live here.)
I love deer pics
I love cam pics
Great video!
really cool lots of wolves
that's not a cool thing.
@indiapale why would YOU have a problem, they don't attack humans. but the deer population in that area is surely noticing it. like anything, nothing should be over-populating, it's not healthy for everything as a whole.
Lots of wolves is not great. I agree they are a beautiful animal but the population in Michigan is out of hand. I'm sure in other places such as Wyoming where they have much more options for prey lots of wolves doesn't upset the balance as much as it does here in Michigan.
nice footage,it gave very clear images

I love the dee pics and I Coyote pic too
Hey it's Colter and I work for the Michigan DNR. Send me a message on FB (Colter Lubben) about where your camp is. I would like to know to make sure that we are not this pack of wolves in our winter track survey. Thanks!
Plenty of wildlife.Enjoy it don’t destroy it!
Pretty cool! Thanks
I'd hate to be a deer living there
Nice catch
No elk, moose, mountain lion, or snowshoe hare ? Interesting.
Bruh cougars haven’t been in Michigan for a really long time
Awesome!!
Nice place for a tree stand
I think they are cool to look at
Amazing
What should be the best settings of the Trail camera?: www.teknomss.com/category/trail-camera
This is cool
Is that a Lynx 48 seconds in?
Awesome
Holy shit more wolfs than bears
I mean that’s kinda expected, wolves are a lot smaller than bears so they need less food than a bear and they live in packs while bears live alone. I’d be concerned if there were more bears than wolves
This is the state of Michigan? Didnt know michigan had so many wolves.
Which model was it ??
Nice video. What kind of batteries or did they have a solar boost?
+Bill Gokey, I believe Duracell. No solar boost. I was surprised they lasted so long. However, the camera didn't take a lot of pictures compared to the amount of time it was out.
Wow, what an amazing group of pictures! We are down state, in 2015 we had reservations to stay south of Wetmore. They told us that they were having a wolf problem. When we got there they said that trappers had taken five, including the alpha so things had settled down. Love that the wolves are doing well, but can see that maybe they need to be taken off the endangered list so they can be controlled better. All wildlife has a purpose but a balance needs to be kept one way or another. Once again fantastic shots. It does say a lot about Bushnell equipment too. Thanks for an entertaining video.
is their one that takes short video clips instead of photo clips ??????
?????????????????????
yup. pretty much all tcams now have the option of pics, vides, or both.
How did the date advance itself to the next year on the camera without human intervention?
I never had a camera that doesn't change the year itself. They all change automatically
Looks like time for some sudden lead impact !
Cool
Wow, even wolves. What do people say about wolf existence in this area?
+E S Most people in the Upper part of Michigan were in favor of the wolves until their population grew to such a large size.
Did you happen to see the Bigfoot in the distance?
Amazing footage. As for the wolves, they were likely all from the same pack. Beautiful animals, ironic that of all the predators on earth, man is the most destructive and dangerous, yet so many want to kill off the wolves who actually are beneficial to the worlds ecosystems.
The one pic looks like a very large cat. It sure didn't look like a bobcat though. Just wondering what it was. ...It was at the 2:06 mark.
+Shortstory123 I'm wondering if it might not be a Lynx? It appears to have some tufting on the top part of his ears.
Yes, very well could be. Thanks for the reply!
I feel like its a bobcat, but could be a some hybrid.. Mountains lions can mate with Bob's, its just never been documented outside of captivity
Bobcat 100%, not even close to any other wild cat.
@@dcc1974 Thanks!
What kind of camera?
Bushnell Trophy Cam
If the wolves are so nice the DNR should plant more especially downstate in lower MI
My grandma lives up there
thomas arashikage cool
Nice sized cat you have there. Wolves =S-S-S
The cool thing is, I live in the UP 😂
and no one gives a shit...
Deer cam pics
dang those wolfs killed the rut activity on your place.
Why do humans get frost bit and other animals don’t,
We aren't covered in fur, William. We don't have pads on our feet. We don't have thick skin. We are fragile & naked. While the wild evolve to the elements to survive, we manipulate our elements to suit US.
1.15 crossbreed coyote right there
That could be where I used to hunt in northern MN. Pretty soon you won't have any deer pics, and the wolves move south. Sad
That's right the wolves kill all the deer. And then they starve to death themselves. Yep, that's right. That's why wolves are extinct.
There are already wolves roaming all over the Upper Peninsula, all the territory is already patrolled by packs. The deer harvest a season back showed an increase of deer harvest around 130-something percent over the last year. But this BS narrative is still spouted. Sad.
Bro what? Wolves and deer have been in the US since before the first humans set foot on the continent, why would wolves drive deer to extinction? Wolves are gone from most of the lower 48 cause we eradicated them. Canada has both deer and wolves so I don’t see how what you’re saying makes sense
*not missing this pack
that was cool. is that Wa. state?
Jesse Jorgensen Michigan
What on earth is 1:14?! 😂
Take out the coyotes
Up means india
no moose?? gotta thin that pack out a lil..
Nah, they have a big percentage of the moose radio collared, and when the moose die they send someone out to see why. What they find is mainly deer parasites, brainworm and liver fluke, in bad tick years moose vampired to death by winter ticks. Not wolves. Also, calves have a very high survival rate that excludes wolves as a problem, older moose die from the parasites
Dreadful music. Too so-fi.
And these DNR claim there are few wolves in the Upper Peninsula......they have no idea what they're talking about. You should send this in to them.
100th comment and so theres to many wolves gimme a 243 and ill take care of that
So now what a few wolves, that's great and a healthy deer population too, now are you going to kill every wolf you see! You have a healthy ecosystem there don't mess it up!
You should really try to thin the wolf population down
John Mcnaeely why it's a healthy ecosystem.Didn't you see all the deer, or should they kill them too.Christ leave them alone!!!
that's not really ALOT of deer. an entire wolf pack on your property is never a good thing.
thats not many deer at all. if thats all the deer he got in a year thats pretty bad. thats about a weeks worth of deer pics.
Hey breath and squeeze and mcopland don't you think that's up to the owner of his land to determine whether or not there is a healthy population of deer!
your comment doesn't even make any sense. you asserted that there were a lot of deer in his pictures. you are the one trying to decide if it is a healthy population for the land owner. We simply pointed out that you are mistaken on what a lot of deer is. when you say something that is wrong, making a dumb comment after doesnt make you right.
