Trail Camera: Pile of Corn vs. Pile of Peanuts in the Woods!

I left a mountain of corn and a mountain of peanuts in the middle of the woods to see which one the animals would prefer. The trail cameras revealed it was a busy couple of nights!

Keeping trying new things!

Deer are cautious and are always looking around, bears just stumble in and flop down like they are coming home from the bar 😁

Crows are super intelligent and have a mean streak. They literally pull pranks on each other and other species, can mimic sounds incredibly well, and have been found to use 'tools' in some studies.

And, btw, bears have a nose that's much better than a bloodhound.

The musical selection for the turkey arrival is priceless.

*8:31* lol the deer with it's head up looks like it needs a cup of coffee 🤣😂

I like the deer at the end. He's looking at the camera saying "Hey, we're outa corn over here."

I like the fact each species had their own time slot during the day to enjoy the bounty left for them, just wow really enjoyed thanks.

This drew a really nice assortment of animals to the cams. The deer foraging with the turkeys was really cool.

This is the finest, cleanest and sweetest entertainment ever! Your commentary is precious!

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.

The best part was his choice of music--especially as the turkeys come on scene. Well done!

So cool how many different animals you have there.
And lovely to see them getting along pretty well 🙂

Love nature

You made a lot of wildlife very happy! What a treat for them.

'Hey, what is this? There is no free lunch...' even animals know that. 😄

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.

This was incredible. Love seeing animals in the wild doing their own thing. Love nature! Should definitely make some more of these videos.

The bear and the
raccoon know each
other.
They've probably
done this sort
of midnight meet up
for years.
Seriously.

Years ago when I was 27 I worked on a farm briefly and every morning I would drive down the long lane to get to their property. At a certain spot I would have to slow down to a crawl because many of the woodland creatures were having what I called "the daily meeting". I would routinely see deer, squirrels, rabbits and multiple types of birds all hanging out together. I assumed it was a way for them to cover each other while they ate and communicated. It was really great to see.

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.
