  • I've now hiked all three tracts of this restoration area and I really enjoyed my time there. This trip was amazing. I filmed cows, two groups of turkeys, hawks, and cranes all before leaving the parking lot. After that I don't think I went more than 10 minutes at a time before finding something else to film. Whether it be deer, or pigs, or snakes.... or bears! These bear encounters are challenging but they have been so rewarding.
    At first all I could see was momma bear, but then I saw a cub, then another, then they ran up a tree! It was so great. Luckily this time they were at full zoom and not too close. I did still make plenty of noise as I passed them, after they were well into the woods.
    I saw another large bear later. Not sure if it was the same. No cubs this time, just scat. lol
    I really found this property to be gorgeous. There were some wet spots but nothing too bad. This place might not be or everyone but it's exactly the type of place I look for. Lots of wildlife and no people.

    Another great video. I realized watching this, one of the reasons I enjoy your adventures. I appreciate the use of natural sounds and not artificial, or some kind of paid music, on top. It is the best.

      Thanks! Sometimes I have to use music but I definitely prefer not to.

    So fun to watch! Really enjoy the mamma and baby bears. Do you ever get scared? That was a pretty big bear.

      They were a good distance away and I had bear spray, unlike my bear experience at the West Tract. That encounter made me nervous.
