- Possibly my last trail camera set in the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. (Probably not) I set the trail camera out in the Picayune Strand to try to play by the rules but that spot stinks. I brought the camera back in the Fakahatchee in April and got a couple months of sweet action. The swamp is filling with water so I took the camera out of there but I might be back in there next year.

Tim, I had a trail cam in one of our state parks (FL) and learned that the cams are not allowed. I had spotted others off the regular paths so figured it was okay. Upon further inquiry with a ranger I learned there is a way for citizens to place cams within state parks. It involves filing a request form with the park superintendent. I was told that the request must include where the cam will be, and what you hope to gain by the placement (i.e. what biological significance your data may have in the research of animals, etc.). Further, I was told that you had to be willing to share your captures with the park service. I never confirmed any of this with the superintendent, nor did I follow up with online verification.
Thought maybe this info would be helpful in the event there’s a similar “rule” for the Strand that would allow you to keep placing trail cams. Your captures certainly offer biological significance to that ecosystem.
Best regards, and thanks for sharing.
Or maybe the citizens in the area need to create a ruckus so the Park Service becomes more transparent or rescinds the restrictions. The Park Service is part of our government and should damn well be accountable to US.
That might work, Team Crooks, but before going the ruckus route I’d look into the permission process. It may be a breeze to get permission. Perhaps even easier than getting a driver license.
@@slyflea Perhaps, but did THEY ask permission from US to restrict US on our (public) land? I think not. Government overreach strikes again.
Dang! I guess they don't realize that your trail cams actually promote good conservation. Better spots coming soon I'm sure! ;) - Colin (Maine Woodsbooger)
Bummmmmer! Well I just want to tell you that your trail cams are the best on UA-cam! I wouldn't even know the park existed if it weren't for your videos. Think about that park people.
I enjoyed the video...hate that 'no trail cam rule'.
I agree with your 👎assessment of it too.
Oh no! I enjoyed watching! I hope you will still put them up where you can!
The dancing deer was pretty funny. I always enjoy your videos.
I love those deer acrobatics! Thank you for the videos from this beautiful place🐝🤗❤️
You have introduced me to the wonders of the Florida wildlife and parks. More beautiful then I would have thought. Thank you for showing us these films.
Thank you for including the steam rising off the water and the owl hooting in the distance. Awesome halloween shot.
Will never tire of these videos ,thanks Tim for the time and effort you put into getting these videos for us love the wild life you capture ❤️🇦🇺
Absolutely gorgeous captures, Tim! Thanks for sharing.
This is so ridiculous! Your videos are educational n entertaining n harmless. We enjoy them as we are elderly with health issues n can no longer hike n explore. We looked forward to your videos because we can never go there ourselves. Also your videos are useful to Fish n Game so they know what's out there n how it's doing. I'm a native Floridian lived there till age 36 never saw a black bear there until I saw your videos. What a shame Tim, please find some other allowable sites. As you say, good luck! God bless you buddy!
Awesome as always Tim. Those frolicking deer were amzing and those Ibises were just beautiful. Sorry that they are making it hard for you to put your cameras out, hopefully they will ease up.
Another Great video!! I cant understand why they don't want trail cameras there. Its not harming anything or anyone. Thanks Tim for the cool video. Looking forward to the next one my Brave Friend!!
Excellent video, great wildlife views. There is a trend to make public lands more private, lots of areas being closed to drones for instance. Keep the good stuff coming, Tim.
The Conservancy Of Southwest Florida is one of the worse offenders of this. They manage huge swaths of land that is owned by the county (taxpayers) and close all access to the public.
I've been a subscriber of your channel for a few months now. My thought is, maybe they don't want everyone to know how many vulnerable animals there are. Not everyone is seeking wildlife for just beauty. Awesome video though, Tim. I have 5 trailcams on my land here in the Virgin Islands and, believe or not, all were set-up and are maintained and monitored by the US National Park Service. I gave them permission so they can monitor wild feral pigs, and I also get an instant notice via email when something triggers the cam.. You've a great channel.
I use to ride my horse on back trails in Brevard County. Back in the 70's. I avoided tall over grown areas due to Eastern Diamondback.
The Signs & Rules People need to review all of your videos to understand how great of an Ambassador of Good Will you are to these swamps and the creatures and animals that call it home. In fact, for what you do, Tim, you are the face of these parks people that we, the viewers get to see. And there is no better ambassador than you.
Over 78 thousand subscribers would agree. Be well and always, be safe.
The guy on the video had all the Hallmarks of a python Hunter👍
Another great ONE! Cinnamon colored bear was cool!! more cypress creek please. Thanks for what you do Tim!
loved it when the deer stopped and turned and looked directly into the camera as if to say hello Tim. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the good work Tim.
Hey Tim 👋 Thank you for all of your time, energy, patience and love of the swamp(helps if there’s an m in swamp🙄) Hopefully you can get far enough out and away from the two most destructive animals in the the Everglades. Probably not, both could care less about the destruction they have caused / are continuing to inflict. Unfortunately, neither have any natural predators, they are not native species🤨Thanks again and be well 🤙
Thank you for all you do providing us with awesome content. Your videos are the best. Wishing you a fun summer on your excursions.
Florida Parks should understand that its action means the 99.9% of people who will never be able to visit Fakahatchee will never see what's there. Only people who are familiar with wildlife and our natural resources are passionate about protecting them.
Surely they have the ability to institute a permit system-with limited numbers and preference to those with a long history in the park.
So far the park service leaves me alone, I’m not bothering anything or anyone and they know it, thanks for sharing your adventures!
Maybe they will work out a deal with specific instructions for trail camera usage with you. Your work is so awesome!
That second spot was on point! Great bear action! Sorry about the new rules. I hope it can be modified so you can continue in that area. As always, thanks again for the video!
Deer playing.
That last shot of the deer walking in the dark and you saw their reflection in the water was awesome!. Some great pics, as always. Love your videos and all the critters. Thank you so much for all you do. Stay safe. Stay healthy!
Not sure, but the shell on that turtle looked too smooth to be a snapper. I would have guessed a soft shell.
Thanx for the video, great show from the deer.😃
Good afternoon Tim
Hope You have a Happy 4th of July weekend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎊
That sucks they band trail cams. Hopefully you can put them further out.
Being a South Florida native I always enjoy your videos ❤️
Take care Always my friend 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for all the hard work and great vids
Thank you for sharing this excellent footage. What you are doing is very important to share & truly appreciated. There are clearly other reasons for those signs, that are guaranteed - not - for the public's interest (& it is likely the signs are not even "legal' to post... If a sign, then, saying "trail cameras at your own risk if damaged or stolen, no sharing peoples' faces). If anything, the helpful pros outweigh any cons. I am grateful a non-gov. controlled cam is in there! The government should be more concerned about getting the alleged rampant python issue under control to protect the balance of the wildlife there than this. Heck, the trail cams can possibly help with that too. Regardless, keep following your intuition & heart, in tune with your surroundings for your protection, as you enter into some of these wild places out there). Anyway, it's a "wildlife camera", not a trail camera.🌞😉 Best wishes!
Thanks Tim. We missed you.
Good luck with the new location. Enjoyed this video it was great stuff, Tim! Thanks for all you do.👍 ✝
I like the “too many ibis birds”
I hope the no trail camera rule doesn't cause us to not get Thanksgiving at the Fakahatchee Hilton!
Hello Kathryn Merlino, I AGREE!!!!
I wait all year for Tims' Thanksgiving at Fakahatchee Hilton Video :-)
Best regards from Southern Mexico,
Ben
The park service can't make rules like this without notice and public input. I question their 'rule'...
We got a mother and her 4 cubs on a cam out by our swamp once,
Greetings from Germany.
Your Vieos are the best and i hope you wil never be arrested for your "crime" filming the areas.
Its a suer thing i hope you can go on with the supper work you do.
Im a fan since 2016.
Good one. Hope you found your keys.
Tim Harrell, I really enjoy watching your videos, and especially the ones shown in the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve. Is there anyone we can write to help with trail cams on the Preserve? Perhaps Florida Wildlife Management. Perhaps they have an idea or solution that can make all of us happy that enjoy your videos. I see no harm to the animals by using the Trail Cameras. Plus, the cameras help with important information regarding these local species. I will be glad to write to whomever (State Park Service, etc.) to give my opinion for your trail cameras.
Kind Regards, Dennis
Another awesome video. Thanks for all the hard work and effort Tim xx
I appreciate the effort you put into making the videos.
Thank you Tim. ❤👍
Thanks again, I really enjoy it
Awesome video as always.
loved watching thanks for sharing
That croc was cool to see . Im suprised your cameras didnt pick up
more of them.😊
Thanks Tim!!!! I really enjoy these. I share them on my social.
THANK YOU, I ENJOY ALL OF YOUR MOVIES 🎥AND WORK ,BE SEEING YOU NEXT TIME.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video 👍
I really enjoyed it.
I hope you find more places to put cameras.
Great video!
This place was one of my favorite places, I never go there again. It is a place full of restrictions, an army of volunteers who believe they are the owners of the park, when you enter there you feel uncomfortable
I just can't see how they're justifying a ban on trail cams. The only thing I can come up with is ridiculous - there's something going on in there they don't want the Public to know about...!
My wife just said the same thing
Understandable, can't be fun to visit raw wild nature and see cameras everywhere.
Maybe they can give permits to a few well-camouflaged ones in the future.?
Love it.
thanx
Lots of nice footage Tim! I enjoyed when the water came up and the Bears started coming by to see investigate. Good to see the young Raccoons and the Fawns are losing their spots already in the 3rd week in May! The first Doe to give birth on my property was on May 23rd the the rest in June but different part of the country so time schedule isn’t the same. Interesting that you saw people going through there, makes you wonder what they were up to. Glad your camera was okay. Too bad they banned the cams there. Take care, Char😊🦌☀️👍
Sorry about the regulations. Germany, where I live, has strict rules too. Fortunately, my cameras are on private property with permission. I had 250 wind-triggered videos once. Live and learn. It's an interesting hobby though. Keep safe.
Great video despite all the troubles you had to overcome.
I always enjoy your videos. I think you're so brave to shoo gators and walk in the swamp dry or wet!
Loved to see the deer playing!!
Why not check with the local State Game Biologist. I'm sure he knows a camera is a great way to get an idea of the game population. Plus you can do it for them , free of charge. The (24:54 ) mark is what I love to listen to out in a swamp laying in my Jungle Hammock. If I don't hear some Owls on a trip I consider it a failure , so far I haven't had any failures.
Hope you can continue
The baby raccoons!
12:08 is that deer in the back chewing on a bone? Looks like a deer rib or something. Maybe they're discouraging the cameras to cover up the fact that there are now carnivorous, cannibalistic deer out there. 😳 😜
Yes, deer in this exact area have been seen on previous videos eating old deer bones - right about the time those baby bears & their momma were in there & baby bear took a bone to go.
I loved the raspberries on each 🚫
That’s SWFL for you. Make up a new rule to squash something fun even if it’s something small like a trail cam.
What type bird is that at the beginning of video? Reminds me of a wood snipe!! Thank you Tim I thoroughly enjoy your site!! Thank you and please keep yourself safe out there!!! Faye
Cool man you got a woodcock that kept showing up!
Wood Duck livestream taken down ?
It's funny how some animals think they need to kiss the camera. lol
I question the legality of them saying "no trail cameras allowed" I would challenge it
It's all about govt. control. They are hurt that your cameras are doing better than theirs.
@23:25: see the mouse watching the bear.
@24:55: the infamous "swamp gas".
Tim: I know the signs are disturbing. The land I had permission to use got sold to developers and land clearing has begun.
I lost two cameras, one was my fault not marking the spot? the 2nd to surveyors?
😅😂🤣
Beautiful healthy deer
Tim, I sure hope they at least let YOUR cameras in. Perhaps you can get a special projects permit from the state?
PS I was in the Fak when I got the alert of this video, and I saw my first Panther today!
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT Tim, You can't take this "unjust" ban on trail cams laying down.
Furthermore, I advise you to remove all your trail cameras from state park property.
You MUST petition your objection with The Office of State Parks Director Hatcher & The Office
of Governor DeSantis.
To make more of an impact, You SHOULD organize others in Florida & nationally who set-out
trail cams. Browning & other trail cam manufacturers may be willing to help you; by contacting
their trail cam customers; putting them in-touch with you.
I assure you the parks foundation cannot simply enact an ordinance. There are legal procedures
that MUST take place. As well as environmental impact studies, etc; showing a need to ban trail cameras. Especially if Florida State Parks Foundation receives "ANY" funds, grants, etc. from the federal government; which they certainly do.
If you & others cannot personally get the foundation to remove this unjust ban, hire a lawyer.
There are a wealth of good lawyers in Florida who'd love to fight for your rights. At that point, your lawyer should contact the news media; TV, radio & news papers. But a "good" lawyer knows this.
Best regards,
Ben
You'd think that before the bureaucrats made rules like that - and I know because once I was one and had a number of arguments with my supervisor over this sort of high-handedness - they would make efforts to get public input regarding those rules, and make more balanced decisions.
What was that smoke at 24:53 ?
I was wondering the same thing. Tim give us yr thoughts on the smoke please..
The infamous "swamp gas".
I know its a lot of work to go so far out . I like so many others will miss your amazing videos should to have to stop. What a shame that would be .
Typical of the current atmosphere. More control by big brother, less freedom as individuals. Just shades of things to come………
maybe the game wardens will give you special permission as you are a good steward of the nature and you do not harass or endanger wildlife but protect it and also educate others on the importance of maintaining these precious resources..so you would think they would like to see what the camera captures etc gives them a good report of how the animals are doing , what animals are there, and approx numbers etc. especially if you agree to share them to the game warden... I hope they will be agreeable, would hate for you to no longer do such videos they are so amazing to watch .. it's worth a shot asking ~ GOOD LUCK!
The Browning cameras do have a habit of getting stuck after one video with movement, for quite a while just taking quite a number of extra videos with nothing going on.
Good idea to use bike to lead the way in the water
What bird is at 11:54? Looks like a woodcock.
Yeah seems like an american woodcock
@@HH003 thank you for the ID!
Tim, what about getting hold of your local news crew and asking them to do a segment on who (individually) came up with this dumbassery and why. Next they will be outlawing bikes on the trams! YeeSh…
I don't even live anywhere near yall but banning the bikes sounds a bit stupid, a bike gets you movin compared to walkin an get you to cooler places quicker
@@nathaniel.7172 Can you think of a GOOD reason for outlawing trail cameras?
First time to see a woodcock on your videos Tim
You caught an entire ghost on camera! Lol
Why prohibited
There were too many people leaving trail cams and it was allegedly detracting from people's aesthetic of the undisturbed, natural environment.
What if the park were to require permits for trail cams? Each cam could require like a registration sticker or something
what a deal. what harm does it do?
Hello tuffduty, You are 100% correct...trail cams do NO harm to the flora or fauna,
The ban is unjust. I hope Tim & others fight The Florida State Parks Foundation to
have the ordinance removed.
Best regards,
Ben
No trail camera sign, but I’m sure with you calling out gate numbers that’ll fix itself lol
Way too many large lizards for me!
You should and probably have, bring comment up before management and representatives, though it may not help. The tendency seems to be to restrict public cameras more and more. Like the deer dance.
what is the image on your home page ?... snake? alligator ? it is cool
Why? You certainly aren't hurting anything!!
What are they hiding
Was that a woodcock or Wilson's snipe?
I think it was a Common Snipe.
