Three years of trail cam photos from Alligator River NWR in 15 minutes

[ron.sutherland2]

Here's a video we put together showing all of our wildlife photos from a single camera on the north end of Alligator River NWR, 2015-2018. Pretty incredible numbers of bears, plus steady streams of deer, red wolves, bobcats, wild turkey, etc.

Really cool video. I hunted in Dare Bombing Range a couple years ago and it was a really neat areas to be in. Tons of wildlife!

gravel actually, but they all seem to use it pretty well...gated part of the year.

So how many of those are coyotes how many are wolves and how many are hybrids? I also found it odd that the ratio of Cubs to fawns is probably 10 to 1 maybe higher. Very few does have fawns with them. I wonder why that is. Most does I see have one or two fawns with them.

What a great compilation!! You're lucky the bear didn't rip that cam off the tree and eat it. They do that pretty often. Glad it survived.
Red Wolves are extinct, so I'm pretty sure that's not what you seeing. Cool canines anyway!

Not sure if they were omitted on purpose but there are several things I noticed in this series of pics. One as already pointed out no fawns. The other is no large groups of deer. Mostly single deer so it could feasibly be the same deer over and over. And lastly way too many predators. Most of us aren't predator hunters but deer hunters and despite a few decent deer pics if I was scouting that land to hunt for deer as a lease I would have major reservations about spending the money there.

I’m not being a smart ass when I ask this...why does the regulations digest say that you have to be able to distinguish red wolves from coyotes when coyote hunting/trapping? That was last years digest. Have they extinct since then?

Fair question. Red wolves were declared extinct in the 80s or so. Since then they've reintroduced a canine selectively bred to look like one, but it doesn't act like one(it readily breeds with coyotes), and are claiming it to be a Red Wold, but it isn't.
