      Yeah it is a fantastic state, I’m so lucky to live here. You see, a long time ago when settlers first came to the US, they pushed the predators and big animals up north, well everywhere except in Minnesota. Minnesota’s northern wilderness is vastly untouched, and we passed conservation laws really early on, so we still have a lot of fantastic wildlife in the upper half of the state, and with modern techniques, the animals are spreading further and further south!

    land. My uncle had a dairy farm in New Hampshire, 150+ head, on 250 acres of land. Closest neighbor was 5 miles from the house. Incredible, wildlife just like what's on the video. I'm on 10 acres in Massachusetts. Some of the same wildlife, no 🐻's & no wolves 🐺 ☹️, but I do have 🦌, 🦊, racoons, skunks, woodchucks, 🐿️'s, beavers, 🦃's, wood rats, coyotes, bobcats & fisher cats. We do have bear, actually a fair amount in the State. I just haven't come across any where I am. Just a matter of time before I do. Plenty of woods & forest where I am; miles & miles. Standard wildlife package I guess here. Love the woods, pond & vastly wide open areas in the video. Yup, watched it 3 times! Mmmmm and I thought I have plenty of privacy here on my 10 acres; not until I watched this. Took me right back to my uncle's farm; no buildings, no noise, no cars, no roads, no traffic, no lights, no houses, no TV, no radio; NO PEOPLE! What do you see? The ORIGINAL land owners; the 🦊🐻 🐢 🐺 🐀 🦃 🐿️ 🐻 🦌 🦝 🐀!
