I love this! Real nature, from a real person, not all this fake videos everywhere, or faked through tv. I live across the country so watching these videos gives me a real sense of being there. Thank you!
Thank you. A lot of people wish I would talk more but I hate hearing myself talk. It is much easier to just show nature from the quiet hiking perspective. Thank you for your comments.
@@StanMills I love the videos as is , my opinion , u get a real feel for being there, and listening to nature are the most beautiful sounds. Not all People appreciate nature for what it is and spoil beauty with talking. 😁
Thank-you for the hike. I appreciate your stopping to show us the wildlife of Yellowstone. And also picking up garbage. Can't understand how people would take that hike and thoughtlessly leave junk on the trails!
I have never understood it either. But there is always a small minority of people that don’t care. If we all pick up the garbage after them, then we can keep our beautiful parks nice. Thank you for your comment.
Stan , again I watch from my chair during cancer treatment and it gets me to the other side. I miss Yellowstone a lot. I’ll be training for a year so I’ll be able to hike around maybe not as good as you but I have you to cover the bases for me. I look forward to these clips daily and are instrumental in my healing process. Thank you …. God Bless…
Thanks Stan, for taking me back to Yellowstone. It’s been four years. I’m a Covid survivor, it can’t get out to nature anymore. Thanks for taking me along on your hikes through the years. Mike Benjamin St.Louis, Mo.
I see you have some Osprey in your videos. I am pretty sure they are Osprey in mine but not 100% sure. I am not that good with birds. Thank you for your comments.
@@StanMills Those are definite Ospreys in your video, a distinctive call too. I know them well, there are a lot of nests in this area. The nest in my video is about 1/2 mile across the lake, it is actually an old bald eagles nest. We can watch the nest from our deck. Three years ago we watched the bald eagles raise 3 on it. We are excited that the Ospreys have taken it this year.
It really hurt me to see the winter kill of Elk 😢! What a SHAME and a HORRIBLE waste!! I got a chuckle out of the entertainment that momma bear and baby bear provided, that was so sweet! 🤗 🤗 I don't remember seeing this many Bison roaming around in your other videos, as there were in this one. Good hike my friend, thank you for sharing!
I think there was more winter kill than usual this year. I hate to see it also. But remember it is critical food source for a lot of wildlife in the winter and spring.
I am a bit amazed at how dry and yellow everything is already. Here in N. California we had an abundance of water over the winter and everything is still pretty much green, though not for long. Thanks for sharing. Blessings all.
And thank you for picking up trash also. I try to encourage people to pick it up even if I have to set up my camera first and then pick it up. I am amazed that people leave trash. Thank you for your comments.
Wow, must be near Gardiner? Last week in Lamar snow everywhere and super deep. Not one single animal sighted in 3 days while we were snowshoeing. Not even tracks.
Wow, really cool to see all that wildlife action. I''ll be hiking in the GYE for a couple months this summer. I'd be about stoked to see as much wildlife in all that time as you did on this one hike!
Great video Stan - lots of winterkill everywhere this year. I'm curious if you find your underfoot strap on your Kenetrek gaiters wears quickly?? Mine seems to not last very long. Could be the way I walk I suppose. Thanks for sharing your hike - excellent video as usual!
Saw no grizzly evidence around and I could see that no bears have been feeding on the carcasses from a distance. There are so many winter kill carcasses around the bears and wolves have been eating their fill.
Hey Stan, I visited Yellowstone last August and basically stuck to the roads, did the loops a couple days and some light hiking, (Norris, Old Faithful, Mammoth). What’s the best time of year and the best trail to take if you’re just getting started in the hiking hobby and want to see as much wildlife as possible? I did see Elk, White Tail, Bison? Fox, and Coyote on my first trip.
Hey Stan, my friend and I are visiting Yellowstone on May 2nd. We plan to go one a small hike, around 3 hours. Where would you say is the best to see wildlife at this time? Lamar valley? I don't think the road to Hayden Valley is opened, right?
Very hard to say because of the snow pack. I think it is still pretty limited. You will have to drive around and be willing to hike wherever it looks good.
Headed out to visit Yellowstone for the very first time next week. I'm wondering if everything will be open with all the snow. Anybody got the inside scoop?
I assume they died from no food or illness or cold like you mentioned. There is a lot of winter kill in the area right now. More than the grizzlies and wolves can eat I suppose.
@@StanMills Can you walk us through what signs to look for before approaching a carcass? How can you tell there's no bear or wolf pack sitting in the trees somewhere ready to defend their food?
@@StanMills I’m glad you include those sequences. It s worth resetting the scene. I know I shouldn’t be surprised - but you go so deep in to the wilderness it is still a little jarring to see man/made flotsam.
@@swainscheps I can’t believe someone left that plastic bag and didn’t bother picking it up. Another thing I pick up a lot in the backcountry is those helium filled party balloons.
Stan the man ! This is a great video ! And I appreciate it but Stan yr on a vacation you can wait till it’s light outside B 4 you start yr hike unless yr a person who likes getting up a O dark :30 to start yr day and Please be safe out there ! Remember what happened to the Muchacho who lived with the bears or more recently in Japan all they found was a bear with a pair of fishing waders in the bears mouth and some dudes head ! BEARS ARE DANGEROUS ! You where to close ! If that bear wanted you it would’ve took maybe 20 seconds ! Their faster that your giving them credit for “Really”! What would’ve happen if there were cubs involved? PLEASE Be AWARE of your surroundings

Very exciting seeing the bears. Beautiful spring day by the river . Loved all the wildlife enjoying themselves!!! Thank you for a great hike.
Thank you for taking us along Mr. Mills

Love the momma and cub!

9 hours? Now that's a hike! Good to see you back Stan.
9 hours nice and slow looking for wildlife.
Very enjoyable to watch your videos. Glad to see them up on UA-cam again.
😍Thank you, Stan!
Wonderful video. Thanks for all the posts you do. I enjoy every one of them.

Thank you Stan for the peaceful hike. Have a great spring and summer!
Thank you for noting the lil things and the great valley views! The raptors sounded happy for Spring life to arrive!
Amazing to see the Eagle Nest ...as it built so well..and further put so much barricade around it😲🦅
Osprey nest
Looks so dry .
Thanks for the video .really nice .
Your coming out of hiding at 9:20 was cleaver and entertaining! Thanks for sharing.
Camp scarf on amazon. It seems to break up the outline real well and it is very light weigh.
Beautiful adventure ! Always nice. 👍👍😊
That Osprey nest is amazing! Thanks for taking us along as usual.
Another magnificent video.....thanks Stan
I look for a new video from you every day hoping to see one posted. Thank you for the wonderful views of nature.
Thank you. It will be great to be able to start enjoying warm weather and seeing wildlife. I am ready for spring and summer to arrive.
I love your videos in the nature you make them so well i love the nature sounds i hope you have a good day cant wait to see the new video 😊
Thank you so much for your nice comment. I am going to see if I can make a new video right now. Just got back from hiking and I saw one grizzly.
@@StanMills I have a question do you believe in Bigfoot or not because I do it would be cool to talk about that

Sad there was so much winter kill this year but the moisture was a good change I think.
There seems to be more winter kill this year.
What is the winter kill about????
always end up taking a nap watching your videos. very relaxing. wake up and rewind. ha.
wonderful photography!!!
Wow, must be near Gardiner? Last week in Lamar snow everywhere and super deep. Not one single animal sighted in 3 days while we were snowshoeing. Not even tracks.
Great video! I did some hiking in the northern part of the park last weekend and was sad to see how many elk and bison died in the winter.
A awesome and amazing video Thank you for taking us along with you ❤️
Awesome!!👍😎🇨🇦👍👍👍
Wow, really cool to see all that wildlife action. I''ll be hiking in the GYE for a couple months this summer. I'd be about stoked to see as much wildlife in all that time as you did on this one hike!
Wow, @ 6:40 minutes, that skeletal remains looked so strange, however, I couldn’t figure out what animal that would have been??🙃🥺
Great video Stan - lots of winterkill everywhere this year. I'm curious if you find your underfoot strap on your Kenetrek gaiters wears quickly?? Mine seems to not last very long. Could be the way I walk I suppose. Thanks for sharing your hike - excellent video as usual!
I have never had one wear out and break. But I don’t use flat bottom boots. The is always a space for the strap to fit under the boot.
Thanks for a very beautiful hike in the park.
Do you often see bald eagles?
Have a wonderful day.
Yes, I see bald eagles often but didn’t see any close enough to video on this hike.
Spring Yup
Would the winter kill be from wolves or grizzlies? Love the videos!!
Cold weather and lack of food.
Yikes, coming upon a kill site. Aren't you ever worried that a grizzly is lurking nearby?
Saw no grizzly evidence around and I could see that no bears have been feeding on the carcasses from a distance. There are so many winter kill carcasses around the bears and wolves have been eating their fill.

Can someone please explain what winter kill is? They looked so fresh, like they were sleeping. What killed them?
Cold weather, deep snow, lack of food.

Stan how come there’s not much snow around there when the area has had a lot of snow?
In 2 months it's the longest day of the year...
Headed out to visit Yellowstone for the very first time next week. I'm wondering if everything will be open with all the snow. Anybody got the inside scoop?
Is this from last year?
Dumb question , does winter kill mean they died from no food or illness in the winter? Love your videos!
I wasn't sure either but the definition is to die from exposure to cold winter weather.
@@simonbagel and/or starvation.
Why wouldn't the grizzlies eat these kills?

what's winterkill?
