We need more of these videos!

I love your fishing video

You need a Browning Recon camera!

Please oh please make more vids like this! The delight in your commentary is infectious and it's so fun and exciting to watch, wondering what will show up to get a snack next! No other channel on youtube is making content like this (leaving out bait/meat in front of trail cams) in the same high quality and with the same variety of animals, its truly unique and I absolutely can't wait to see more!

@@addo2419 it differs per state but a lot of places have laws about fishing with certain species, like if its considered harmful/invasive it's actually illegal to re-release that fish after catching it, and you have to kill it. He states in the vid its fish he caught for bait prior and he has a lot of excess, which could have happened for a variety of reasons. It seems like he travels a lot to fish, so bringing bait across the border one way might be illegal or hard to transport without getting rotten, so he may have got more bait fish in that other state and been able to bring some back, or perhaps he used minnow traps and ended up with a bunch of invasive species and had to kill them based on the law. Or maybe he had plans to use most of that bait in future fishing trips, and they got cancelled due to corona or something. Regardless, it's a much better use of it to give it to wildlife and make very cool educational content with it, rather than throwing it out

Wow, everyone make this the top comment! Make the creator see this! Thanks for sharing, I was so curious and was wondering if someone in the comments could explain the situation!

They eat live pigeons

@@davelee3725 in the viral video of that, the turtle was a slider, not a snapping turtle.

Really ? I always thought snappers eat basically everything they can. I'm sure the old turtle has come across a pile of KFC that fell out of kayak once or twice in his 60+ years.

@@TheAgentAssassin it probably happens quite a lot, but getting proof on video like this is rare. A lot of common basic behaviors never get recorded scientifically due to the lack of objective evidence and the process of peer review. Where it gets important is that some aquatic turtle species in the world are suction feeders (like a bass) and physically can't eat in air as opposed to water.

whats with the low standards tho? i would be more shocked if they tried to mess with it

@@1x0x Often, at least in my experience, people in the wilderness are much less civic minded. Having your trail cam, or even your deer stand, stolen is a somewhat common occurrence here in Florida.

They were white

​​@@firemonkey1015what does that have to do with it? I grew up in the south and in a sundown valley, less than 10 black people in our 1500ish population, me and my dad had issues my entire life with hunters (WHITE hunters) stealing our beartraps, stealing our trail cams, trying to sabotage hunting spots, etc.

​@@firemonkey1015racist people are really just lazy....

That was two bigfoots dressed up like people in the boat it is a well documented fact

The turtle, " Hold my beer!"

I’ve been doing the same thing 😂 i look in the background

Moth man is in your room

KZfaq gonna remove that video before we can all see it

@@KDrop84 I had a dream like that once.

Youll sooner see bigfoot than joe biden doing a good job

You should try magic mushrooms or lsd and then sit in your backyard or some place like that and you will feel very connected with nature still haha

😂

mans chewing for his life

@@devinbroadhurst1534 that made me laugh so hard . thanks

So he was lubing it sort of? But yeah the whole thing is very interesting

Okay. I have not read the ethology literature on this animal but have we overlooked the obvious reason. The fish scales will not get caught in the GI tract head first?

@@jamesjames6792 🤨📸

Oh so you mean KZfaq is full of bs that’s going in the world. Yeah might as well live in fairytale land

@@TheOnlyKontrol yeah, but watching wildlife is more relaxing than watching whose been killed or died in an accident

I mean they don't live to 100+ for no reason!

@@devinbroadhurst1534 you’re right! Lol very cautious lol.

I liked/loved just seeing the animals have some food to come to.. instead of having to fight for it❤️

Definitely one of my favorite of his. I also like when he goes with his dad.

Me too!

Me too ya know!

Me too

"its a trap" 😆

Listen humans are the very best animal what are you on about .can a bird bild a car no they can not case closed .you must hate yourself

@@andrewturk6562 chill out there little buddy

@@andrewturk6562awwww lili guy is so defensive 😂😂😂

I saw a trail camera when I was out hiking in the woods one day. I kinda did the same as this guy. I waved into the camera then went on about my business.

I would have at least mooned it once.

I really thought the human was going to take a fish or the chicken

@@ballsthatclank Hahaahaa! THAT would have been something!

Never underestimate the ability for English speakers to mash up the language

It is fascinating to watch homo sapiens anglerii in its natural habitat. SUPER rare to see one without their normal angler appendage.. I wonder if it broke off while trying to escape a predator like some lizards drop their tails.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

From what I remember about oppossum teeth, they don't really have molars for chewing. Most predators will rip their prey to pieces for that reason.

don't possums also have really narrow intestines? maybe they chew that much to avoid getting bits stuck in there

@@wezerd I don't know but that makes total sense.

That was creature from the black lagoon.

Wow you bring up an interesting thing. I’ve never seen a Black Bear eating fish in general, only grizzlies and brown bears.

Good thing no looters were in the area

On the contrary....i also always thought there was an unspoken respect for each others' gear.... Until me and a buddy set up camp at a national forest campground in Tennessee near the Ocoee River....luckily we only set up the tent and sleep pads.... After we came back from grabbing dinner, some lowlife(s) ripped off the sleep pads.... What sucked even more about it was i had borrowed my sleep pad from somebody and i had to buy her a new one.....

I found out that some city people aren't that nice. While hunting in the Appalachian Forest (public land) the guy and his two buddies who were camped next to me were approached by game wardens and arrested. I walked over to find out why. A warden told me they were city folk from Baltimore who'd set up a tent on weekends there, not to hunt, but to steal people's stuff while they were out hunting. I guess I was too close to them to be comfortable stealing from me, because nothing was missing.

I agree with this. I have lost my wallet three times during vacations in Cape Hatteras and got it back all three times. The first time was almost 30 years ago and someone found out it somewhere (no idea where I even lost it) and turned it in to the local sheriff. A second time I left it on the counter at a tackle shop and the woman at the cash register saw it and put it aside. The third time was at a different tackle shop and this time someone found it in the parking lot and turned it in to the store. The wallet looked like it had been run over by a million trucks but nothing was missing.

yeah, the exception is frequented national parks or popular state ones. Those areas can provide a steady stream of tourists to rob. Almost the perfect crime for a thief. No surveillance cameras, no witnesses, and acres of forest land to hide in. Not to mention how expensive some camping gear is. Surprised it isn't MORE common.

Probably well fed with freshly caught fish constantly and is extremely picky with food.

that explains all the traffic

Man, I missed it.

-Only a fisherman' when hunting season closed. Has cameras of his own, and wants other hunters to leave his where he placed them. ;} "Do unto others".. or Karma takes it's vengeance? ;)

These random acts of humanity are what keep me going at this point. The world is a cesspit.

Bird was like, "this becomes food when it is wet because it's always been that way"

@@Prolificx exactly 😂

Many videos of herons doing the same to rodents.

Thank you was wondering about that, vert cool!

that turtle was awesome.

lol

Lol

8:35 "What - on Earth - is happening here?"

turtles are known to overeat in captivity. a wild one is not going to resist a bunch of free calories.

... or me.

Beer and beef jerky!

@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 I see you like cameras too Cletus , long time no see ole friend. Peace

@@thebigfellar7178 ... Nah, I like beer and beef jerky, but then again, who doesn't.

Goonie Goo Goo.... 😆

That's debatable.....

🇨🇦 Jim is the funniest guy on TV.

Right there with you my dog seemed to hunt for something dead to roll in, the stinkier the better

Very sorry to hear that. Hope something great happens to you soon.

I'm in the same boat after an accident. Good luck to you, my friend.

Also that turtle was very cautious. As a kid we used to have to watch our stringer of fish cause a snapper would come right to the boat and start chomping away. I remember even lifting the stringer in the air and the snapper not letting go. Good times lol

Herons always wet their food if they can - especially mammals and birds.

Depends on the bird

@@exessex3522 Check out herons plucking gofers right out the their holes in the ground .

I think your right

I like the "I don't want sand on my food" better

It's an ibis I believe. Not a heron.

@@frauleinhohenzollern8442 ITS A HERON.!!!!!

The y dip their fish to make sure it is dead, not to wash it.

Yess I’ve heard they can choke to death without water... they can’t survive without a bev with their meal lol. At least turtles anyways. Tough.

Lubrication is vital when something has to go through the throat in whole.

I've never seen such a big freshwater turtle.

what a waste
