the turkeys are smart, they use the crows for an early-warning system- they aren't afraid of them, just cautious. the crows will have lookouts high in the trees that alarm at the slightest thing. Crows are extra cautious because they stand out in their surroundings.
Crows and Ravens are "the Borg". They work together. If you listen you can hear them constantly signaling to each other. I used to study corvids and follow their movements. You can "talk" to them by echoing their sounds back at them. They have extensive networks and you have to listen really carefully to hear the outliers in their flock. One of the scouts finds some tasty food and within minutes the tribe moves in for their collective share. Yeah, corvids are "socialists".. although not with any other species. In fact they slaughter songbirds which is what I have against them. A big flock of crows means a diminishing number of songbirds. Sad that. Nature you harsh!
Crows and blue jays here will make a lot of racket at most times but with a little experience in listening to them you'll know when a hawk is nearby. Their whole tone changes and they become more insistent.
@1Bigredox, I agree about crows being super smart. I feed wild birds every morning, including a special dish just for the crows. There are 3 crows that wait in the trees for me to put food out. I've seen them stack up pieces of bread and fly off. One of them grabs the yolk of a boiled egg first and flys away. They leave the boiled egg whites to rot. I don't know why they won't eat them. Then they take lg pieces shelled walnuts and pecans. Next is big cubes of cheddar cheese. They may eat a little bird seed, but usually don't bother. If the bread pieces are too stale, they dunk it in the fresh water bowl. I saw them dive bomb 3 squirrels that chased the small birds away from the seed. They hung around while the little birds got to eat, like they were guarding them.
Reminds me of an old apartment I lived in for awhile, it had a sun porch as it’s front room, and it was the old style side to side glass slats that made up the window, ceiling to floor, and had a chalk that would open them, thus allowing air in. Well we were on the second story, and the one side of the room overlooked the roof of the other side of the building, it was a split level building (1 story on half, and 2 story on the other half.) My gf at thetime, who is now my wife has always loved feeding the birds, and various wildlife, and would put out birdseed on the roof. One day she put almost a cool whip container of shell less sunflower seeds on the roof, and as we sat there having a morning coffee, we watched a pair of chipmunks busting their humps, to pick up and haul off every single seed, despite the scoop that was put out likely weighed 10+ times the combined weight of both of them. It took them over an hour, but they cleared off virtually every single one of those seeds, other than a few that had been grabbed by chickadees and nuthatches that frequented my wife’s various feeders. The Chickadees were so used to use that they would literally land on a feeder I was standing at and filling, and start eating the seeds as I was adding them to the feeder, even had them land in the containers I was using as a scoop before, as I was trying to fill a feeder.
@@brodriguez11000 well if you wonder if animals would get drunk, you don't even need to leave a pack of beer. It's actually pretty common to see disoriented deers because they really like to eat huge amounts of plant buds, these can ferment in their stomach. After that deers get easily drunk

Every animal needs salt which is hard to come by. That was my favorite video so far. It was really great to see such a wide variety, truly enjoying your wonderful gifts! ❤️
@@emmaathome2902 Surprisingly, I have left out salted peanuts and unsalted peanuts for squirrels. They prefer the unsalted kind. The squirrels will also prefer the roasted kind to the raw ones.
What a lovely scene, so different from the eucalypt forest/bush of Australia which is where I live. These Northern Hemisphere cool-temperate deciduous woods in winter always seem to make me feel mysteriously homesick for something but I can't think what it is. I am 7th generation Australian - I love our bush and animals - but there's just something about these woods. Pine forests in winter don't make me feel this way, just broadleaf woods.
I grew up in Pennsylvania but currently live in Florida. I miss the changing colors of the leaves in the fall, just before they are dropped from the trees. Here in Florida it is green almost year around until mid January when I guess the leaves freeze, turn yellow, and fall from the trees. I also miss the smell of burning leaves, though occasionally I smell burning wood as folks here try to avoid using their home heating units. My home is bordered by Camphor trees, and the leaves and the trees smell of medicine.
I’m a Kiwi - we get semi-primeval forest, quite a lot of regional variations on that theme really, as well as commercial radiata plantations but yeah - American forests make me feel like I’m ‘missing’ something . . . I guess a lot of it is just the scenery that I’d associate with T.V. shows and films? 🤷♂️
@@fletcherhamilton3177 “Fall bursts with its last beauty as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale!” A caption that I saw on the October page of a wall calendar last year. It seemed to sum up the brilliant colors of autumn. I love autumn in Michigan, where I live.
Originally from Michigan, and grew up walking in woods like that as a child. Moved around a bit, finally settling in Florida for 30 years, and never felt "home". Then moved to the northeast corner of Tennessee and found that "home" feeling. It's absolutely the "woods".
@@ronsamborski6230 - having said what I said, I miss the Kiwi bush immeasurably. I hope to get into the Waitakere Ranges for a few days alone next time I’m home in summer, pack a few food things and a basic tent, immerse myself in the bush’s noises and colours and bird calls and see if I can become ‘one’ with it after two ~ three days . . . beats walking around New Zealand Westfield malls with their overpriced and badly made Kiwi brand clothes and imported Chinese trinkets (mind you - good place to hit on a Thursday ~ Friday afternoon / night with a view to spotting an attractive single woman if you fancy rolling the dice - single women in Auckland with nothing else to do / no one else to be with are often found window-shopping in Westfield malls that time, which seems a logical thing to do I suppose) . . .
Didn’t expect to see those wild turkeys … 🦃 They are truly beautiful! … and yes, crows are very aggressive! I lived in California for several years and I had a large population of squirrels 🐿️ I fed, which reminds me … where are the squirrels … don’t you have them wherever you are?! Anyway, I had to feed the birds too, it got so bad the garage roof started to look like Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”! My neighbors were happy when we moved!😉
Bear have incredible sense of smell. They can smell food up to a mile away. They also have a very large roaming range so they make take several days to get to your spot.
And unsalted nuts, just raw. Or maybe a salt lick. Rodents like salt licks, porcupines, hamsters, rabbits etc. Horses and deer and cows like salt too. Is it the salt or the nut they like?
Dude, I can’t tell you how much I love your videos. They are so cool keep up the good work for some of us is the only way we get to see any wildlife and you make it so fun.
Loved ur video. Ur blessed to live near such healthy woods. I feed crows on occasion; they're definitely opinionated and have a rough (but understood) pecking order.
You did more for wildlife helping them survive than anything I’m so appreciative of the wildlife feed and the videos thank you I bought a whole bunch of pumpkins for the woods near me that made me feel good
I have a big backyard on the edge of town. And we always hang three bird feeders from the low branches of a knurled old apple tree. Two are full of sunflower seeds. The Deer come every day at dusk. Raise up their heads and keep bumping the feeders untill most of the sunflower seeds are in a pile on the ground, then leisurely eat up all those seeds! When I used a step ladder to get the feeders higher, the deer 🦌 can be seen rearing up on their hind legs, pawing at the feeders until they are nearly empty, then eat up all the spilled sunflower seeds!!!!! We usually can't keep from laughing out loud, and that initially "Spooked" the deer, but not for long! Those buggers can easily eat up 10 or 12 pounds of seed in just a few days.
Same at my house. The deer will eat a lot in a corn field, but given a choice at my house everything would choose the peanuts (or bird seed). Also at my house, turkeys rule the crows.
I predicted the peanuts might win due to their armor (shells); but they are clumsy, lumbering brutes compared to the corn, which are quick, nimble, and very experienced (there isn't one on the battlefield below the rank of kernel).
🤣🤣🤣🎶Omg you really made me laugh out loud., I live solo in the mountains Laughing out loud is a bit weird ,,but the best way to start the day ,,thankyou👌🌄 But also enjoyed the trailcam And the commentary ,, I have one i want to set up ,but am idiot with devices,, So still watching other peoples🙏♥️🌍🦅🐎🪶🐾
6:57 I feed crows in lots of places. They absolutely love peanuts. There are usually 2 or 3 that will stay up on watch while they eat. Then switch out. It’s really rare that the first crow there eats. They will call friends to watch before going down. They are one of my favorite animals.
I set out of couple of birdfeeders for my indoor cats to be able to enjoy watching the birds, which they do. A squirrel discovered the feeders and it's causing complete havoc. The cats seem to be in awe of its antics. I find it a bit annoying, but then I figure, the squirrel needs to eat too, and the cats get bonus entertainment, so it's a win win.
I had the same issue and I didn't mind feeding the squirrels some, but they were little piggies! By the time they were done, there was hardly anything left for the birds. So I finally found a good squirrel proof feeder. The squirrels would still get to eat some because of what fell on the ground (or was dropped there by the birds), so it worked.
Last spring I got to see the adult and baby turkeys several days a week near where I'd go jogging in Florida (near St. Augustine). The babies were, of course, adorable, but the really interesting part was how the adults all seemed to cooperate in taking care of them, keeping them from straying, and watching for danger. When you see a turkey with its wings spread you realize why it was considered for the "national bird" of the US long ago.
My husband and I really enjoyed watching this video. We live in a big city and are unable to see this kind of beautiful wildlife. We’re curious to know where you live, the scenery is gorgeous!❤️
Here in dozier Alabama pop. 320 you see this alot! Ifeed the deer apple flavored corn and have coffee in morning and watch them. That's retirement!! Lived in city's and when I go back the traffic sound like a. Ocean.

@@NewHaven203 His accent is kind of flat sounding. Every animal he's had in his videos also exist in Michigan. Including the black bears. If I had to guess, he's in the Midwest US or Northeastern US states. I could be wrong, but everything he's caught on camera, including the environment, looks just like Michigan wilderness.
I have 6 acres of virgin hardwoods with a stream running through it. Right across the road is a 100 acre peanut field. I have a corn feeder, but I maintain a mineral lick for them, not any "deer product", but ingredients that I buy in bulk.
Thanks for uploading these! I don't get to get out into the wild as much as I used to and watching these videos helps satisfy that part of me that misses spending time out in the wild and getting to see all the animals! Thank you!
Forests around here used to have the American Chestnut and before 100 years ago, you could film the same thing taking places all over Appalachia naturally while they cleaned up the chestnut masts all winter.
No doubt in my mind those deer were cautious due to your human scent lingering in the area. They smell both the corn, and you, hence their conflict; they're not suspicious of the corn per se. A field full of standing corn isn't really natural, either, but they don't hesitate to charge in and starting chowing. Anyway, cool videos. Have a like, on me.
@@jason4547 I respect your attempt at humor, but my comment wasn't aimed one such as you, whom I can only assume is a wildlife biologist or something of that ilk. If you watch and listen to the video, at the 2:30 mark, the narrator intimates that he thinks the deer figure "this is too good to be true", based on their trepidation when approaching the corn pile. He offers no further explanation. Thus, I endeavored to share some thoughts on why those deer would be so apprehensive. Again, I did so for those folks who enjoy these videos but know little or nothing about deer and deer behavior, and might incorrectly conclude that they have a deep understanding of what's going on with that corn pile. Nope, they're just picking up the human scent, which most wild animals interpret as a bad thing, and for good reason. We are apex predators, and deer are a preferred prey species. But you knew that. Anyway, have a "like", from me to you.
Perhaps an urban legend but I heard corn may make deer stomach explode when they eat a lot, undigested if they lack the proper gut germs at that moment. Wild animals may be cautious about unfamiliar food
Hilarious and informative video. Thanks. I take pics on a corn pile I set out in my backyard but I usually just put the corn out in the winter for them. The sound track is PERFECT.
I had a house in Marlothpark a wild sanctuary next to the Kruger Park in South Africa. Many put out feed and corn for the wild animals especially during winter. The animals were used to it so they came easily, zebras, kudus, warthogs etc. We also put out fruits, wild bird seeds and salt blocks for the buck. I had a little waterhole installed to make it easier for them. We would sit on the second floor looking down on the animals feeding. It was magical, the zebras sometimes do get feisty, kicking and biting any competition but in general they all would eat together. We also made mud pools for the warthogs. I miss being there.
Very nice video! You can see those beautiful creatures who are eating peanuts and corn! Some of these creatures became friends already! Thank you for this video!
The deer went for the corn because they smelled the raccoon in the peanuts. They normally would have gone for the salt in the peanuts first. Also, deer and turkeys are often found together. It's a symbiotic relationship. Deer have figured out that turkeys have better vision, or maybe turkeys have figured out that deer have a better sense of smell. Or maybe not, but whenever I see turkeys in the woods, the deer are never far away. I have actually seen yearling deer "playing tag" with turkeys, chasing them around just for the fun of it while the doe was loafing around nearby.
Wow. that's way different that my and my buddies experiences. I have hunted for 50 years in 8 states and every time turkeys come, the deer leave. I don't think that deer like all the noise that turkeys make. that one deer with the turkeys is a young deer so maybe he doesn't know better yet.
@@travharrell1713 I usually see the turkeys about an hour after deer. Deer get up early to eat well they tend to eat around the clock but turkeys usually show up around 9 to 10 AM deer usually are bedding down by then.
Was so excited to see a new video. You might be the best narrator on UA-cam, Ace. I enjoy listening to your commentary as much as seeing the show. Thank you soo much.😄🙏
Nice to know that there are that much wildlife in what little green space and forest we have left in our country that has be destroyed by developers and roads. LOVE THE VIDEO. Made me smile.
So much fun watching them eat. I throw peanuts for crows and seed for the smaller birds in our area. Crows love peanuts. At first they feasted where the peanuts lay then they started to grab one, two if they can, and fly to the roofs of nearby homes. When on the ground, crows would steal peanuts from another crow despite there being plenty of peanuts on the ground. Birds aren't so nice to each other. A quail will try to chase another one away over and over again.
Man, this was awesome. You gotta do it again. Your running commentary was perfect. Your really a very intelligent man. Please do it again as soon as possible. I loved it. Very interesting and entertaining at the same time. I don't know where you live but, I wish there was a place somewhere around where I live. I was surprised it was so mesmerizing. Keep it up, I enjoyed that a lot.
This was a really fun and entertaining video to watch! You really nailed it with your music and narration. What an awesome, original way to present this idea. Thumb up, shared and subbed. Cant wait to see more of your content.
My experience with birdfeeders shows avians and squirrels have a strong peanut preference. If you shell the peanuts, even titmice and tiny chickadees will go for them.
Oh, thank you so much. This video answered my question about bear eyes. I have asked several hunters if bear eyes are reflective like deer eyes, or non reflective, like Moose eyes. No one had an answer. Thank you for showing me the answer. 🤗
Late to the party here but what a great and entertaining video. Just a note: the turkeys are afraid of the crows because...well they are called a murder of crows so, yeah lol great choice on the music especially with the turkeys. Made me chuckle 😄 thank you for making this and I hope to more in the future. Have a wonderful day!
Really interesting video. I see a number of deer in the woods near where I live--and in my backyard. Usually, there will be at least three or more deer. This is in the suburbs outside Washington, D.C. But sometimes I wouldn't have seen them at all if they didn't raise their tail.
Please make sure it’s safe (and legal!) to feed the deer. I don’t know what your climate is like but where I live, the deer’s digestive system changes during cold weather and they can literally die a very painful death from eating corn. Also, many areas prohibit feeding wildlife in the cold months as it can be a sign of illegal hunting practices. Enjoyed seeing your excellent video!
@@loveydovey1105 The OP isn't exactly wrong either, it's a debated issue. "why some folks rightfully say it might be harmful to feed deer corn in some circumstances. Deer ingest food items, but microorganisms in their gut actually breakdown the food items and/or convert it into forms that can be absorbed from the digestive tract into the body. There are many different species of these microorganisms in a deer’s gut. Some breakdown certain types of nutrients better than others. The microorganisms get their food from the ingested items they help deer process. So, if deer haven’t had much to eat (like can occur during late winter) the microorganisms haven’t had much to eat either. In fact, many of the microorganism populations can decrease significantly. This is the source of the potential problem, adding corn or any type of food deer haven’t been consuming. The populations of microorganisms in the deer’s gut necessary for digesting any food item can be too low. So low that the ingested food can’t be digested and absorbed by the deer. When this occurs, the deer can die from starvation with a full stomach." - growingdeertv
We've been feeding corn to the deer that come into our yard on a daily basis for years. We see the same deer, sometimes as many as 14 every day. We see doe's, fawns and occasionally bucks. I spread 2 large coffee cans of deer corn over a large area so it's not like it's their total diet. We go through about 3, 60-pound sacks a month. They all look pretty happy to me.
@@loveydovey1105 what dude, the deer cant really digest the corn so its dangerous for them to eat it in cold months, these videos would be less fun to watch if i knew he was killing the deer. Also he could always just switch the type of food
Anyone who contemplates feeding deer should read up on the deer’s digestive system, it’s rather fascinating. I’m a hunter and used a corn-based feed to attract deer to my trail cameras. I stopped using corn due to concerns about possibly causing harm to the deer. If you bait with corn all year, it’s not usually a problem but it can be if you only bait for a short period of time (hunting season) It can take up to 2 weeks for the micro organisms in the deer’s rumen to adapt to new foods. The deer rely on these micro organisms to break down the food into energy which the deer relies on to survive. In the future, I plan on using natural browse e.g. cedar bows to attract deer.
When I was a child my Dad rescued a baby raccoon. We cared for him and he was very well fed. The 2 raccoons in the beginning remind me of him. So chubby and cute!!!
For the first time I came across your video (12Feb2022) and TOTALLY enjoyed it! You're too funny!! Watching these animals reacting in their natural environment was a superb experience for me.We don't have these kinds in the Cayman Islands altho we have lots and lots of chickens in the wild. They even walk around our Town and use the pedestrian crossing to cross the street. I guess you can say we have some street-wise chickens (LOL). Looking forward to watching your next video. Thanks for sharing and for caring for the animals too!!
Interesting. Love the turkeys. They're neutral hues are gorgeous. Crows are abrasive, will run others off. They have sharp, pointed beaks and aren't afraid to use them. Plus, they're aerial acrobats, maneuvering effortlessly in the air to dive on competition. No wonder the turkeys stayed back. An injury to a wild animal means trouble because it can get infected and that's not good. There's no veterinarian for them, and injured animals are hunted down by others.
I've been supplementing my local birds, squirrels etc. for a couple years and I've found they do not like corn. So I give them a mix of just about every seed and dried fruits. I have a single squirrel who prefers to use the stairs rather than the trees, to my second floor deck. I surprised the heck out it last week. I try to put food out in early afternoon. The animals know my sounds and voice. Well I gave this one little squirrel a clear plastic cup full of peanuts in the shells. (Which are not always available) and I've never seen a squirrel so excited in my life! Unfortunately I was so captivated I forgot to take video.
So fun to watch the critters take your offerings . I feed the birds next to a big grape vine in my back yard. They love it ! Half wild bird seed mix and half black sunflower seeds . It brings in squirrels , raccoons an occassional oppossum And of course all kinds of birds including turkey. It is far better than watching tv ! 8 )
You are better off giving fruit and vegetables to squirrels. Corn and peanuts have zero nutritional value for them. Plus they spoil fast and can harbor dangerous bacteria and mold that can kill them. Just don't feed avocado peels or any pits of fruits. They love sweet potato, coconut, watermelon, avocado (again, no peel or pits), and coconut oil is really good for their coats! Blueberries and peaches go over great with them too! :)
@@davidkottman3440 Yes. Zero nutritional value to SQUIRRELS. It's the equivalent of feeding them candy bars. How so? Because peanuts are legumes with a protein and fat that is marginally nutritious and is NOT the same quality of fats contained in true nuts like walnuts, hickory nuts, etc. By comparison, they're junk. And corn? Almost pure starch which is converted into sugar by the liver. No nutritive value and can cause a squirrel to become diabetic. But, please, enlighten me on your experience in rehabilitating squirrels... because that's where I've got my knowledge from.
@@CaffeinatedTigress OK, now you've addressed the nutritional needs of squirrels rather than simply slander foods & crops that do in fact contain some nutrition and have their appropriate place... Dumping bags of them in the woods may not be the best place.

What is funny about the buck " flirting", is the smaller deer is a button buck! Look closely between the eye and ear you can see the " buttons".
Simple minds are easily amused !
@chopper. Yep, we are!

Was that comment really necessary?
Does it give you pleasure to insult someone who felt joy watching this?
How do you feel about yourself now that you insulted someone?
@@errorpleasetry7017 I merely opened his eyes to the ignorance that's blinded him.... Knowledge Without Understanding Is Nugatory !
This is the finest, cleanest and sweetest entertainment ever! Your commentary is precious!
So cool how many different animals you have there.
And lovely to see them getting along pretty well 🙂
Love nature
PLEASE make more of these, I binged them and wished there were more 😭 thank you!! these are great
Yassss
But don't feed deer corn or peanuts.
The bear and the
raccoon know each
other.
They've probably
done this sort
of midnight meet up
for years.
Seriously.
So lovely to watch and listen to you and your fun comments. Thank you.
Every animal needs salt which is hard to come by. That was my favorite video so far. It was really great to see such a wide variety, truly enjoying your wonderful gifts! ❤️
Watching the reactions of the animals is fascinating.
Amazing all the animals that came and went. I love how the bear just sits in the middle of the pile.
I would be interested in salted vs unsalted peanuts. Salt blocks get lots of visitors for a reason.
Because salt contains nutrients they need.
@@emmaathome2902 Yeah, like, you know, salt.
@@emmaathome2902 Surprisingly, I have left out salted peanuts and unsalted peanuts for squirrels. They prefer the unsalted kind. The squirrels will also prefer the roasted kind to the raw ones.
I've read that birds should have unsalted peanuts but I don't know about the other animals.
Boiled or not boiled chile coated and so on let us knows if you try it
What a lovely scene, so different from the eucalypt forest/bush of Australia which is where I live. These Northern Hemisphere cool-temperate deciduous woods in winter always seem to make me feel mysteriously homesick for something but I can't think what it is. I am 7th generation Australian - I love our bush and animals - but there's just something about these woods. Pine forests in winter don't make me feel this way, just broadleaf woods.
I grew up in Pennsylvania but currently live in Florida. I miss the changing colors of the leaves in the fall, just before they are dropped from the trees. Here in Florida it is green almost year around until mid January when I guess the leaves freeze, turn yellow, and fall from the trees. I also miss the smell of burning leaves, though occasionally I smell burning wood as folks here try to avoid using their home heating units.
My home is bordered by Camphor trees, and the leaves and the trees smell of medicine.
I’m a Kiwi - we get semi-primeval forest, quite a lot of regional variations on that theme really, as well as commercial radiata plantations but yeah - American forests make me feel like I’m ‘missing’ something . . . I guess a lot of it is just the scenery that I’d associate with T.V. shows and films? 🤷♂️
@@fletcherhamilton3177 “Fall bursts with its last beauty as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale!”
A caption that I saw on the October page of a wall calendar last year. It seemed to sum up the brilliant colors of autumn.
I love autumn in Michigan, where I live.
Originally from Michigan, and grew up walking in woods like that as a child. Moved around a bit, finally settling in Florida for 30 years, and never felt "home". Then moved to the northeast corner of Tennessee and found that "home" feeling. It's absolutely the "woods".
@@ronsamborski6230 - having said what I said, I miss the Kiwi bush immeasurably. I hope to get into the Waitakere Ranges for a few days alone next time I’m home in summer, pack a few food things and a basic tent, immerse myself in the bush’s noises and colours and bird calls and see if I can become ‘one’ with it after two ~ three days . . . beats walking around New Zealand Westfield malls with their overpriced and badly made Kiwi brand clothes and imported Chinese trinkets (mind you - good place to hit on a Thursday ~ Friday afternoon / night with a view to spotting an attractive single woman if you fancy rolling the dice - single women in Auckland with nothing else to do / no one else to be with are often found window-shopping in Westfield malls that time, which seems a logical thing to do I suppose) . . .
Didn’t expect to see those wild turkeys … 🦃 They are truly beautiful! … and yes, crows are very aggressive! I lived in California for several years and I had a large population of squirrels 🐿️ I fed, which reminds me … where are the squirrels … don’t you have them wherever you are?! Anyway, I had to feed the birds too, it got so bad the garage roof started to look like Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”! My neighbors were happy when we moved!😉
@ 4:42 I love crows. I even have a tattoo of one. They are so, so smart.
Bear have incredible sense of smell. They can smell food up to a mile away. They also have a very large roaming range so they make take several days to get to your spot.
It would be cool to see a comparison with different nuts and/or seeds, like walnuts, acorns, sunflower seeds, etc.
I agree
My raccoons really like sweets like pudding cups and pastries and bread.
I want to plant Chinese chestnut trees on my property to bring deer in for bow hunting
@@irisjanemay1903 mine do too..I put peanut butter on the bread..they love it..
And unsalted nuts, just raw. Or maybe a salt lick. Rodents like salt licks, porcupines, hamsters, rabbits etc. Horses and deer and cows like salt too. Is it the salt or the nut they like?
Dude, I can’t tell you how much I love your videos. They are so cool keep up the good work for some of us is the only way we get to see any wildlife and you make it so fun.
guy you spoke for everyone
Loved ur video. Ur blessed to live near such healthy woods. I feed crows on occasion; they're definitely opinionated and have a rough (but understood) pecking order.
You did more for wildlife helping them survive than anything I’m so appreciative of the wildlife feed and the videos thank you I bought a whole bunch of pumpkins for the woods near me that made me feel good
I have a big backyard on the edge of town. And we always hang three bird feeders from the low branches of a knurled old apple tree. Two are full of sunflower seeds.
The Deer come every day at dusk. Raise up their heads and keep bumping the feeders untill most of the sunflower seeds are in a pile on the ground, then leisurely eat up all those seeds!
When I used a step ladder to get the feeders higher, the deer 🦌 can be seen rearing up on their hind legs, pawing at the feeders until they are nearly empty, then eat up all the spilled sunflower seeds!!!!!
We usually can't keep from laughing out loud, and that initially "Spooked" the deer, but not for long!
Those buggers can easily eat up 10 or 12 pounds of seed in just a few days.
That's HILARIOUS! They're so resourceful 🤣
Same at my house. The deer will eat a lot in a corn field, but given a choice at my house everything would choose the peanuts (or bird seed). Also at my house, turkeys rule the crows.
I predicted the peanuts might win due to their armor (shells); but they are clumsy, lumbering brutes compared to the corn, which are quick, nimble, and very experienced (there isn't one on the battlefield below the rank of kernel).
😄😄
No - the peanuts won because they are more energy dense - more fats and oils
@@edward9643 and salt is valuable in nature. But I think you missed the joke 😉
@@arisucheddar3097 yea, every corn is a kernel but not every kernel is a corn.
🤣🤣🤣🎶Omg you really made me laugh out loud.,
I live solo in the mountains
Laughing out loud is a bit weird ,,but the best way to start the day ,,thankyou👌🌄
But also enjoyed the trailcam
And the commentary ,,
I have one i want to set up ,but am idiot with devices,,
So still watching other peoples🙏♥️🌍🦅🐎🪶🐾
I've missed the trail cam vids. Hope you do some more
6:57 I feed crows in lots of places. They absolutely love peanuts. There are usually 2 or 3 that will stay up on watch while they eat. Then switch out. It’s really rare that the first crow there eats. They will call friends to watch before going down. They are one of my favorite animals.
I set out of couple of birdfeeders for my indoor cats to be able to enjoy watching the birds, which they do. A squirrel discovered the feeders and it's causing complete havoc. The cats seem to be in awe of its antics. I find it a bit annoying, but then I figure, the squirrel needs to eat too, and the cats get bonus entertainment, so it's a win win.
I had the same issue and I didn't mind feeding the squirrels some, but they were little piggies! By the time they were done, there was hardly anything left for the birds. So I finally found a good squirrel proof feeder. The squirrels would still get to eat some because of what fell on the ground (or was dropped there by the birds), so it worked.
Last spring I got to see the adult and baby turkeys several days a week near where I'd go jogging in Florida (near St. Augustine). The babies were, of course, adorable, but the really interesting part was how the adults all seemed to cooperate in taking care of them, keeping them from straying, and watching for danger. When you see a turkey with its wings spread you realize why it was considered for the "national bird" of the US long ago.
❤️
Crows have great memories! Definitely not the best enemy to make!
That deer the walked away from the male buck was not a female doe. It was a button buck. Look closely and you will see a small nub on his head.
I came here just to say this
Oh wow to everything you got on camera and bless them❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love these trail cam picnics for the critters of yours - so enjoyable and as someone else said, great music choices and commentary.
I just watched every one of your trail cam videos. They are so satisfying. Please make more near the river.
*8:31* lol the deer with it's head up looks like it needs a cup of coffee 🤣😂
Hi 👋how’re you doing?
@@Godwinpounds4333 I'm good, how are you?
My husband and I really enjoyed watching this video. We live in a big city and are unable to see this kind of beautiful wildlife. We’re curious to know where you live, the scenery is gorgeous!❤️
Hi 👋how’re you doing?
Here in dozier Alabama pop. 320 you see this alot! Ifeed the deer apple flavored corn and have coffee in morning and watch them. That's retirement!! Lived in city's and when I go back the traffic sound like a. Ocean.
Being that the bear was a black bear I would say Tennessee, West Virginia, or North Carolina
Am NOT the author of this video ... but ... have identical experiences, and settings ... literally. My piece of heaven is in the farthest northwestern corner of SC ... in the mountains ... tail end of the Smokies. I have family that live as apparently, you do ... in the burbs.... or downtown. Have been there, done that, and fortunately with a lot of luck, sweat, and determination .. got the hell out of Dodge. And, lord willing, the creek dont rise, I fervently hope to remain here. I hope, and wish for you that maybe somehow you may have the expeerience someday ... believe me, it's worth every bit of effort to get there.
@@NewHaven203 His accent is kind of flat sounding. Every animal he's had in his videos also exist in Michigan. Including the black bears. If I had to guess, he's in the Midwest US or Northeastern US states. I could be wrong, but everything he's caught on camera, including the environment, looks just like Michigan wilderness.
I have 6 acres of virgin hardwoods with a stream running through it. Right across the road is a 100 acre peanut field. I have a corn feeder, but I maintain a mineral lick for them, not any "deer product", but ingredients that I buy in bulk.
Thank you, your narrative brought this video to life, amazing what critters you get to see
Thanks for uploading these! I don't get to get out into the wild as much as I used to and watching these videos helps satisfy that part of me that misses spending time out in the wild and getting to see all the animals! Thank you!
You’re at the part of dumping the bags on the ground and I already know this is going to be one of my favorite videos, lol 😁
'Hey , what is this? There is no free lunch...' even animals know that. 😄
Forests around here used to have the American Chestnut and before 100 years ago, you could film the same thing taking places all over Appalachia naturally while they cleaned up the chestnut masts all winter.
I lived in the woods with all these creatures. Loved them all.
This was fun to see. Love to watch wild life getting fed. Please share more videos like this one. Thank you 😊
No doubt in my mind those deer were cautious due to your human scent lingering in the area. They smell both the corn, and you, hence their conflict; they're not suspicious of the corn per se. A field full of standing corn isn't really natural, either, but they don't hesitate to charge in and starting chowing.
Anyway, cool videos. Have a like, on me.
If stating the obvious was a measurement of intelligence then you sir would be a genius !
@@jason4547 I respect your attempt at humor, but my comment wasn't aimed one such as you, whom I can only assume is a wildlife biologist or something of that ilk. If you watch and listen to the video, at the 2:30 mark, the narrator intimates that he thinks the deer figure "this is too good to be true", based on their trepidation when approaching the corn pile. He offers no further explanation. Thus, I endeavored to share some thoughts on why those deer would be so apprehensive. Again, I did so for those folks who enjoy these videos but know little or nothing about deer and deer behavior, and might incorrectly conclude that they have a deep understanding of what's going on with that corn pile. Nope, they're just picking up the human scent, which most wild animals interpret as a bad thing, and for good reason. We are apex predators, and deer are a preferred prey species. But you knew that.
Anyway, have a "like", from me to you.
Perhaps an urban legend but I heard corn may make deer stomach explode when they eat a lot, undigested if they lack the proper gut germs at that moment. Wild animals may be cautious about unfamiliar food
@@LuisEBenavente I heard it is hard for them to digest too.
If you put out corn enough deer will associate your smell to the corn. At least thats what i have found.
The bead probably has the best "sniffer" out of all em. Would bet he came from the farthest away
Hilarious and informative video. Thanks. I take pics on a corn pile I set out in my backyard but I usually just put the corn out in the winter for them. The sound track is PERFECT.
Holy cow that trombone at 5:45 is awesome!
I had a house in Marlothpark a wild sanctuary next to the Kruger Park in South Africa. Many put out feed and corn for the wild animals especially during winter. The animals were used to it so they came easily, zebras, kudus, warthogs etc. We also put out fruits, wild bird seeds and salt blocks for the buck. I had a little waterhole installed to make it easier for them. We would sit on the second floor looking down on the animals feeding. It was magical, the zebras sometimes do get feisty, kicking and biting any competition but in general they all would eat together. We also made mud pools for the warthogs. I miss being there.
Wow! Sounds like my kind of place.....
Beautiful video…wonderful to see how the animals appreciate and respect the different hierarchies
Thanks Ace, for this experiment. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music really makes it.
Very nice video! You can see those beautiful creatures who
are eating peanuts and corn! Some of these creatures became friends already! Thank you for this video!
The deer went for the corn because they smelled the raccoon in the peanuts. They normally would have gone for the salt in the peanuts first. Also, deer and turkeys are often found together. It's a symbiotic relationship. Deer have figured out that turkeys have better vision, or maybe turkeys have figured out that deer have a better sense of smell. Or maybe not, but whenever I see turkeys in the woods, the deer are never far away. I have actually seen yearling deer "playing tag" with turkeys, chasing them around just for the fun of it while the doe was loafing around nearby.
Thanks for sharing that!
Wow. that's way different that my and my buddies experiences. I have hunted for 50 years in 8 states and every time turkeys come, the deer leave. I don't think that deer like all the noise that turkeys make. that one deer with the turkeys is a young deer so maybe he doesn't know better yet.
Deer will step over them peanuts to eat the corn and step over corn to eat acorns!
@@travharrell1713 I usually see the turkeys about an hour after deer. Deer get up early to eat well they tend to eat around the clock but turkeys usually show up around 9 to 10 AM deer usually are bedding down by then.
Did the raccoon urinate on the peanuts?
Those turkeys are surprisingly beautiful. You found a nice hunting spot.
Or a nice watching nature live spot.
@The Richest Man In Babylon turkey dinner?
Was so excited to see a new video. You might be the best narrator on UA-cam, Ace. I enjoy listening to your commentary as much as seeing the show. Thank you soo much.😄🙏
4:31 - The 1 horn buck looks at the camera, as if he's on The Office, sharing his frustration of the constant rejection from women. 😂😂😂
The running commentary is hilarious.
Nice to know that there are that much wildlife in what little green space and forest we have left in our country that has be destroyed by developers and roads. LOVE THE VIDEO. Made me smile.
Hey Ace, if you see this I hope you have a good day
Thanks for this! Lots of fun to watch and interesting to see the interactions.
So much fun watching them eat. I throw peanuts for crows and seed for the smaller birds in our area. Crows love peanuts. At first they feasted where the peanuts lay then they started to grab one, two if they can, and fly to the roofs of nearby homes. When on the ground, crows would steal peanuts from another crow despite there being plenty of peanuts on the ground. Birds aren't so nice to each other. A quail will try to chase another one away over and over again.
Love it . And you picked the music really well .
The turkeys first coming in with the crows .
Fascinating .
Thank you for sharing this is fun .
I love your narration and musical accompaniment ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Man, this was awesome. You gotta do it again. Your running commentary was perfect. Your really a very intelligent man. Please do it again as soon as possible. I loved it. Very interesting and entertaining at the same time. I don't know where you live but, I wish there was a place somewhere around where I live. I was surprised it was so mesmerizing. Keep it up, I enjoyed that a lot.
This one was insane! I love these videos. I hope you can make some more!
Well this was unexpectedly delightful. The coffee shop analogy was a riot 😂 Loved all of it. God bless!
Love the video thanks for sharing.
Yes, we certainly enjoy your films . It's amazing to see the animal behaviour. Thank you for doing and showing these experiments .👍👍
The scene with the buck that has the broken antler. The other deer was a button buck also. Not a doe.
I thought the same when he was trying to set those two up lol
Maybe the button buck self identifies as a doe.
I feed the birds and squirrels peanuts in the shell every morning! No salt. The birds love them!
Hi 👋how’re you doing?
This was a really fun and entertaining video to watch! You really nailed it with your music and narration. What an awesome, original way to present this idea. Thumb up, shared and subbed. Cant wait to see more of your content.
My experience with birdfeeders shows avians and squirrels have a strong peanut preference. If you shell the peanuts, even titmice and tiny chickadees will go for them.
BIG FUN commentary and all! Thanks 😁
Seeing those piles of two of my favourite foods made me more excited than I'd like to admit. 😂
Soo interesting to see all the animal interactions :)
Oh, thank you so much. This video answered my question about bear eyes.
I have asked several hunters if bear eyes are reflective like deer eyes, or non reflective, like Moose eyes.
No one had an answer.
Thank you for showing me the answer.
🤗
All eyes are reflective, even people
Really was something to watching the pecking order! Enjoyed the humor,too! Good editing! THANKS! ❤️❤️❤️
They are all different in shape, but deep down we are all the same. Respect all the creatures. Nice work on the show!!
Please make more videos like this! It is very relaxing. Awesome video 😃
Enjoyable watch. Thanks for filming your "experiment." Sort of interesting no tree squirrels found the food stash.
Late to the party here but what a great and entertaining video. Just a note: the turkeys are afraid of the crows because...well they are called a murder of crows so, yeah lol great choice on the music especially with the turkeys. Made me chuckle 😄 thank you for making this and I hope to more in the future. Have a wonderful day!
I absolutely love these videos!! I love wild animals and the outdoors, so these videos have my full attention. Thank you 😊
The trumpet matches the turkeys so well
Really interesting video. I see a number of deer in the woods near where I live--and in my backyard. Usually, there will be at least three or more deer. This is in the suburbs outside Washington, D.C. But sometimes I wouldn't have seen them at all if they didn't raise their tail.
Ace: talking about the buck trying to start a conversation with the “doe”
Me: knowing it’s a baby male s that hasn’t grown it’s antlers yet
Yes it was a button buck you could see his nubs.
Would have been a 4 pt but not for the right side breaking off. We’ll just call him a solid 2 pt. Next year he will be bigger.
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who knew that “doe” was a nubbin buck.
The Tarsal glands were awfully dark for a doe. Nice video though
@@harryl7946 The right side did not break off. Bucks shed their antlers each year. He lost the right side first.
Please make sure it’s safe (and legal!) to feed the deer. I don’t know what your climate is like but where I live, the deer’s digestive system changes during cold weather and they can literally die a very painful death from eating corn. Also, many areas prohibit feeding wildlife in the cold months as it can be a sign of illegal hunting practices. Enjoyed seeing your excellent video!
Shut up. Geesh, its always someone talking like they are a veterinarian. Mind your own business and let the man feed the animals
@@loveydovey1105 The OP isn't exactly wrong either, it's a debated issue. "why some folks rightfully say it might be harmful to feed deer corn in some circumstances. Deer ingest food items, but microorganisms in their gut actually breakdown the food items and/or convert it into forms that can be absorbed from the digestive tract into the body. There are many different species of these microorganisms in a deer’s gut. Some breakdown certain types of nutrients better than others. The microorganisms get their food from the ingested items they help deer process. So, if deer haven’t had much to eat (like can occur during late winter) the microorganisms haven’t had much to eat either. In fact, many of the microorganism populations can decrease significantly.
This is the source of the potential problem, adding corn or any type of food deer haven’t been consuming. The populations of microorganisms in the deer’s gut necessary for digesting any food item can be too low. So low that the ingested food can’t be digested and absorbed by the deer. When this occurs, the deer can die from starvation with a full stomach." - growingdeertv
We've been feeding corn to the deer that come into our yard on a daily basis for years. We see the same deer, sometimes as many as 14 every day. We see doe's, fawns and occasionally bucks. I spread 2 large coffee cans of deer corn over a large area so it's not like it's their total diet. We go through about 3, 60-pound sacks a month. They all look pretty happy to me.
@@loveydovey1105 what dude, the deer cant really digest the corn so its dangerous for them to eat it in cold months, these videos would be less fun to watch if i knew he was killing the deer. Also he could always just switch the type of food
Anyone who contemplates feeding deer should read up on the deer’s digestive system, it’s rather fascinating. I’m a hunter and used a corn-based feed to attract deer to my trail cameras. I stopped using corn due to concerns about possibly causing harm to the deer. If you bait with corn all year, it’s not usually a problem but it can be if you only bait for a short period of time (hunting season) It can take up to 2 weeks for the micro organisms in the deer’s rumen to adapt to new foods. The deer rely on these micro organisms to break down the food into energy which the deer relies on to survive. In the future, I plan on using natural browse e.g. cedar bows to attract deer.
I’ve watched a few of your videos and when it comes to the animals and the cameras I think it’s the EMF and INFRARED that attracts them.
When I was a child my Dad rescued a baby raccoon. We cared for him and he was very well fed. The 2 raccoons in the beginning remind me of him. So chubby and cute!!!
For the first time I came across your video (12Feb2022) and TOTALLY enjoyed it! You're too funny!! Watching these animals reacting in their natural environment was a superb experience for me.We don't have these kinds in the Cayman Islands altho we have lots and lots of chickens in the wild. They even walk around our Town and use the pedestrian crossing to cross the street. I guess you can say we have some street-wise chickens (LOL). Looking forward to watching your next video. Thanks for sharing and for caring for the animals too!!
Same!
Can't believe no one asked you why the chickens cross the road! ; ) ♡
Interesting. Love the turkeys. They're neutral hues are gorgeous. Crows are abrasive, will run others off. They have sharp, pointed beaks and aren't afraid to use them. Plus, they're aerial acrobats, maneuvering effortlessly in the air to dive on competition. No wonder the turkeys stayed back. An injury to a wild animal means trouble because it can get infected and that's not good. There's no veterinarian for them, and injured animals are hunted down by others.
I've been supplementing my local birds, squirrels etc. for a couple years and I've found they do not like corn. So I give them a mix of just about every seed and dried fruits. I have a single squirrel who prefers to use the stairs rather than the trees, to my second floor deck. I surprised the heck out it last week. I try to put food out in early afternoon. The animals know my sounds and voice. Well I gave this one little squirrel a clear plastic cup full of peanuts in the shells. (Which are not always available) and I've never seen a squirrel so excited in my life! Unfortunately I was so captivated I forgot to take video.
So fun to watch the critters take your offerings . I feed the birds next to a big grape vine in my back yard. They love it ! Half wild bird seed mix and half black sunflower seeds . It brings in squirrels , raccoons an occassional oppossum And of course all kinds of birds including turkey. It is far better than watching tv ! 8 )
You are better off giving fruit and vegetables to squirrels. Corn and peanuts have zero nutritional value for them. Plus they spoil fast and can harbor dangerous bacteria and mold that can kill them. Just don't feed avocado peels or any pits of fruits. They love sweet potato, coconut, watermelon, avocado (again, no peel or pits), and coconut oil is really good for their coats! Blueberries and peaches go over great with them too! :)
@@CaffeinatedTigress Zero nutritional value? Ludicrous! and obviously fresh fruits & veggies rot faster than dry grain!
@@davidkottman3440 Yes. Zero nutritional value to SQUIRRELS. It's the equivalent of feeding them candy bars. How so? Because peanuts are legumes with a protein and fat that is marginally nutritious and is NOT the same quality of fats contained in true nuts like walnuts, hickory nuts, etc. By comparison, they're junk. And corn? Almost pure starch which is converted into sugar by the liver. No nutritive value and can cause a squirrel to become diabetic.
But, please, enlighten me on your experience in rehabilitating squirrels... because that's where I've got my knowledge from.
@@CaffeinatedTigress OK, now you've addressed the nutritional needs of squirrels rather than simply slander foods & crops that do in fact contain some nutrition and have their appropriate place... Dumping bags of them in the woods may not be the best place.
Love how all had their share 💚🦡🦌🦃🐻💚 Lovely video thankyou 🌿🙏🏻🌿
THANK YOU for doing this for them. It really warmed my heart :)
