Caught on the Trail

Have you ever wondered what roams your backyard in the dead of night? Shares the same nature trail with you, or is living on the fringe of your rural property? We have. So, we trekked our property, at the base of a mountain in northern British Columbia, and set up game cameras to get our answer!

Over a span of seven years, we captured rare photos of wolverines as they fed on a frozen carcass, a sow grizzly and her cub patrolling the trails, coyotes, wolves, and black bears in all colours and sizes as they frolicked, fought and raised young throughout the year. Predators and prey traversed the heavy wooded areas, open clearings, creek bottoms and wandered within a few feet of our house.

By using this new innocuous technology we learned a tremendous amount about the private lives of wildlife and the struggles they face in the wild.

This book will help the young reader gain a better appreciation for the trials and tribulations of wild animals and how to use game cameras and respect the wildlife we seek to capture on camera.
