TRAIL CAMERA ON A DEER CARCASS

As this years hunting season was underway, a buck was found dead in the pasture. The cause of death could not be determined. There were no obvious wounds on this deer aside from a concave skull. Because of this, Mike and Dana didn't want to salvage it for food. While they suspect a vehicle collision was the culprit, and even though it had been there less than a day, with no way to be certain, it wasn't worth the risk that it had died from disease. But this deer did not go to a complete waste. They positioned a trail camera to document the process of it being reclaimed by nature, as well as to get an idea of what kinds of animals would come in to feed. It looks like there may be some work needed to control the local predator population. Everything from opossums to hawks, bobcats and wild hogs claimed a piece of the bounty left out for them. The video below is a compilation of these clips.

THE HUNT, FROM MICHAELS POINT OF VIEW

Immediately below this video, you'll find Michael's latest video, a herping trip to the Yucatan. But as we edited that to post, we found some other footage on that card as well. It was footage from a very memorable week of hunting over a year ago. On this hunt, Mike and Dana had traveled back to Maryland to hunt some familiar ground with Michael, and managed to bag five deer in the weeks they were there! This is a video of where Mike took one of those deer on public land. Of course, the video from his camera was edited and posted on our site with the play-list of all those hunts at that time. We had forgotten that there were two cameras in the woods that day! So we thought we would go ahead and edit that, and post this rather unique view of that morning in the woods, from Michael's perspective!

HERPING THE YUCATAN

Michael recently took a trip across the southern border. The main focus of this adventure was to dive with Whale Sharks off the Yucatan Peninsula as they migrated through. He did have high hopes of providing us with some video of that, but as it turned out, the ability to film on that dive was extremely limited. But all was not lost. He had a bit of down time, and managed to get some herping time in with Desiree running camera for him! While they do find some interesting reptiles and amphibians, they also get a look at some of the other wildlife and insects that calls that area home.This included a rather large Tarantula, and you can hear her in the background. Evidently, spiders are not her favorite thing!

A HERPING TRIP TO INDIA

We have been waiting for a new adventure from Chris for some time. He has traveled extensively to enjoy his passion for wildlife, and has taken us on herping trips to some exotic locations in the past, that included finding endangered species on the Galapagos Islands, and Guatemala. He's also been a big part of our project, and when we get the chance to head to his home state for a visit, he's often taken the crew to explore Florida's Amazing Reptiles and Amphibians. But the thorn in his side has been the King Cobra. He's been trying to find an example of this snake in the wild for some time. So he headed to India to give it a shot. This time, he was successful. He managed to encounter one. But it was not quite as he expected! This trip also produced some other really cool finds, the Indian Chameleon, as well as the Green Keelsnake were some of them, as well as vipers native to this country! That's not all you'll see in the video below, as he included footage of some other wildlife, like elephants, and an interesting scorpion that glows under a black light! Join him below for this one, we can't wait to see what's next!

DEER SEASON '24-MICHAEL TAG'S OUT !!!

It turns out that learning your way around and scouting the public lands in your new home state can be a bit challenging. After all, Mike is getting a bit older, and the hills in Tennessee seem a little bit steeper to him than they used to. This isn't going to keep him out of the woods though, it's just put him behind the curve. He'll get around to it sooner or later. But this season, it would be Michael who seemed to be having quite a run of luck! He took his first deer of the season early on, and returned to that same public hunting land and took a nice eight point buck during the rut as a bonus buck. That ended his archery season. This left him with one more buck tag he could only use during the gun season or muzzle-loader season. Knowing that the area where he got those two deer is known for excessive hunting pressure during those splits, he switched gears and headed to some private land where there wouldn't be as much competition. That turned out to be an excellent idea. He managed to use his last tag on yet another eight point buck on his first sit! Join him on the hunt below!

    BACK IN FLORIDA HERPING
On the homepage, we mentioned that  winter can be a great time to take a trip to enjoy a warmer climate and your favorite outdoor activities. That was the case not too long ago for Matt and Siobhan. They decided to do some winter herping in Florida. They enjoyed some great luck and uncovered many fascinating creatures. So much so that when Chris heard about a few of their great finds, he joined them! Tag along with them and see what they turned up. If you can, plan a trip of your own this winter!

WINTER TROUT FISHING

The fishing in Tennessee is truly amazing. Scrolling down a bit, you'll find a link to a video we shot in the spring fishing for monster striped bass. It was quite an incredible day, and we were impressed with not only the size, but the quantity of fish we caught as well. But what's really surprised us was the quality trout fishing. We had not expected that from a state in the southeast! What makes that even more amazing is the trout fishing in the dead of winter! This video was filmed last year, but you can bet we'll be back out there to replace this one with some fresh winter fishing content very shortly!
