Winter of 2023-2024
See if you can identify all the HW critters below. If the critter is a buck (male deer) see if you can count how many sharp points are on its antlers, as the more points a buck has, the older it is.
See if you can spot the video of a fox making a noise three times, so if you here that noise at night, you'll know it is a fox making the noise. Note if the critter is healthy looking or not. Note how to tell a jack rabbit from a regular bunny or how to tell a fox from a coyote. Note what critters get along with one another for survival and how even the critters have to shake fire ants off their food before eating the food. Note the alpha critter meaning (example) which racoon chases away the other racoons (making it the alpha racoon). Watch for other survival techniques demonstrated by each critter, like their ears changing directions as they listen for a threat approaching or smelling the air for sensing a threat approaching, especially with the rabbits and other smaller critters. Enjoy looking for things in each video that most people miss, like how often a critter pees on things or rubs on things and think of why they do this.
Message me in our HW Facebook or just text me at 715-323-3256 if you have a question or wish to make a comment to me. I love hearing from you.
These videos were chosen from thousands of videos, so you are just getting the best of the best. Again, I say enjoy!

A 10-pt buck still has his antlers on March 6, 2024 but should shed them by mid-April.
Bunnies playing. Nice video to enjoy just before Easter.
Talking fox. Watch his mouth as you hear his what a fox sounds like.
When we buy a fresh loaf of bread, I place the rest of the opened loaf our for the critters. This fox takes more than one piece of bread.
Opossums are difficult to record but this one stayed around for a while.
Fox and two racoons can get along well when survival is the game.
These doe and skunk get along quite well.
This buck and racoon getting along quite well.
Mr. Ears, the Jack rabbit, rotates his ears to catch any danger in the area.
These foxes donate to the empty food bowl.
This bunny gets out of the area as a doe enters.
In the next five videos, note which ones are foxes and which ones are coyotes.
In the following two videos are skunks that should be very proud of their tail.
Can you figure out which racoon below is the alpha racoon?
This fox is not camera shy as he eats his slice of bread.
The doe below is chewing her cud.
This doe and bunny are pals below.
Below, you can see that one buck has just lost his antlers but his Uncle Buck has his antlers yet. Haha
If I met the coyote below in the woods, I'd be more concerned, as it looks malnourished.
Video below is obviously a Jack rabbit and not a Jill rabbit.
Antlers against a back lit sky is my favorite video of the winter of 23-24 HW critter videos.
