Xzeljuu.....Thanks!! Bears here on the Florida Gulf Coast are at the top of my filming list.....This turned out to be my best to date!!

Thanks John!! The Bears are at the top of my critter list out here on the Florida Gulf Coast!!

Thanks Dave!! This is what I've been trying to get on film....I'm hoping these 2 locations will continue to produce more Bear footage....Have a great weekend!!

Thanks Mark!! I'm now looking for a Panther or Sasquatch to show up here at the house....LOL!!

Thanks!! I've been stompin' the swamp looking for tracks....Seems they enjoy using these hog runs out here too.....They sure make it easy to follow signs out here!!

Chris and Jane.....Thanks!! It's taken about a year but I finally managed to film several bears in different trail cams out here near my house in the wildlife refuge!!

Thanks!! I keep following the tracks to get a travel pattern.....This is my ultimate critter capture here on the Gulf Coast!!

Thanks!! This has turned out to be the biggest apex predator that inhabits this Wildlife Refuge.....Since tracking them I'm hoping the additional cameras on known travel routes with pay off with more footage!!

Thanks "J"!! When I started this pass time and getting these Bears in the Refuge on film was my ultimate goal.....Now it's a panther or Sasquatch.....LOL!!

Thanks Icy!! I'm hoping for more of this species in the future.....Maybe I'll get a Panther or Sasquatch one of these days.....LOL!!

Thanks!! I'm hoping this trend will continue with a few younger Bears.....These critters seem to be skirting an area with 7 springs to the south and then turning to the north and then back to the east....I'm wondering whether there are still any collared Bears out here....Those 2 together were maybe a year to a year and a 1/2 in age and looked real healthy!!

Tekya Manosh....Thanks!! It's taken me awhile but I finally got multi Bears in my trail cams.....Have a great week!!

Vasile....Thanks!! I'm hoping to get more film of the King and Queen of Swamp Land!!

Thanks Phillip!! I know the area near Sanford is eat up with the critters....It's a reel treat to get them on film this close to the house!!

Thanks Rob!! This has turned out to be my personal best capture.....Now all I need is a Panther or Sasquatch.....LOL!!

Thanks John!! This was at the top of my bucket list......Now if I could only get a Panther or a Sasquatch....You can never tell what you might see out here in this coastal jungle!!

Thanks Clifford!! There are so many scents out here especially the hogs that these predators are constantly smelling and looking as they travel.....What I've learned is to get the cameras off the ground at least 6 ft. and don't use straps that will hold a scent....Especially when it comes to Bears!! I've been using augers with ball swivels and so far this seems to work.....The only critter that causes a problem are Pileated Woodpeckers.....They really beat the hell out of a plastic camera......LOL!!

Thanks Henri!! Then I could never get rid of the Hogs.....But now that I think about it the Bears and Hogs could have a good time playing in the swamp.....LOL!!

Good morning

@@dogismyco-pirate top of the morning NW treasure master!

Thanks Martin!! Now if I can just manage a Panther or maybe Sasquatch.....LOL!!

@@WesLovelace the panther might be attainable. The sasquatch might be a bit harder because I don't plan on being in those woods anytime soon. 🤔

Thanks Greg!! I'm hoping for more film with these critters.....Hoping to get a Panther or Sasquatch in the future.....LOL!!

Thanks Ron!! It's not hard to find the Bacon in this place.....If you like Pork it's walikin every where in this swamp!!

Shahyoat Al - Abdia....Thanks!! Haven't seen Bears in my cameras in about 8 months.....Have a great week!!

Thanks Marc!! Public sightings are rare.....The population might be as high as 50 critters..... They had some that had radio collars.....So far I haven't seen one. There's about 45,000 acres in the Refuge.....If my math is correct 6 miles from my house east to US.19 and then north almost 20 miles.....That's over a 100 sq. miles in there!! There is a small subdivision east of me about 3 miles that have several that roam the area and relax by freezers and refrigerators.....LOL!!

Shahyoat Al - Abdia...Thanks!! Appreciate you checking the 3 Bears here on the Florida Gulf Cast!!

I'll never say it won't happen because I've already caught someone trespassing during the day in August and someone shot at something at night near a camera location about a month ago ....The best I can figure they are accessing from near Mary's from private property.....More than likely they are being dropped off on 550.....I've got 7 cameras out there now with several watching for any people accessing from the road.....Someone might find them but they would have to be extremely familiar with this place after dark .....If you get a geolocation let me know!!😎

@@WesLovelace I talk to that guy who is selling that property good price wish I could buy it .

Thanks Rande!! They are at the top of the apex predator list.....Bears, Coyotes, maybe Bobcats(piglets) , and Gators .....They all take up residence out here!!

Thanks Nathan!! They are the ultimate Best in the Bushes for me here at the house!!

Thanks!! Don't get to see the Bears out here to often.....They sure are healthy.....I hope to see them more often.....Have a good week!!
