Bolton wildlife in action – Amazing trail cam footage

If you want to see Bolton wildlife in their natural setting, acting the way they would without human interference (aside from the camera), check out Bolton resident Keith Silver’s Still River Road trail cam episodes on YouTube. 

Here’s Keith Silver on how he got started: 

“Years ago I bought a cheap game camera on a lark.  The very first time I downloaded the photos off of it there was a bobcat right in front of the camera and I was hooked.  I’ve lived at my property on the Still River for over 30 years and I’m amazed at the variety of animals that the cameras capture that I’ve never seen with my eyes.  It’s a fun hobby but can be frustrating – like sorting through 300 movies of a weed blowing in the wind or two bucks fighting but only capturing the back half of one of them because the camera needed to be pointed a few feet to the right.  Still waiting to get a moose….”

Keith adds: “All of my movies are from my property on Still River Rd. I have 3 of them so far posted on YouTube. If you search on YouTube for “Bolton MA game camera” you should find them.”
