I Never Thought I'd See This on a Backcountry Hike…

I wasn't expecting to find anything unusual on a backcountry hike. But after discovering something in the forest, I decided to leave a trail camera behind and see what would come through. What followed was several weeks of unexpected wildlife activity. Some were simply traveling through. Others stopped to investigate the same spot I had discovered earlier. And one encounter at the end shows that not every animal that crosses paths with a predator becomes a meal. 🐾 Animals featured: Mule Deer • Elk • Cottontail Rabbit • Black Bear • Mountain Lion • Gray Fox • Colorado Chipmunk • Pine Squirrel • Steller's Jay 📍 Colorado Rockies If you enjoy trail camera wildlife, backcountry exploration and seeing what happens in the forest when nobody is around, consider subscribing to Eyes in the Rockies. 🔔 Subscribe for more:    / @eyesintherockies   Thanks for watching and joining me in the Rockies. 0:00 The Discovery 1:22 The First Signs 2:15 The Predators Return 2:50 Who Else Is Using This Route? 4:23 Life Moves On 4:58 The Pattern Emerges 6:31 The Top Predator Arrives 7:15 This One Got Away
