Animal Tracks !

[pitdog]

I have just posted one of these pics on another thread but it got me thinking that maybe some of you guys also have some animal track pics to show !

Deer...

Racoon in mud...Back paws

Racoon in mud...Front paws

And finally Racoon in snow...

Pitdog , the most incredible tracks I ever saw were turkey tracks .On a road with red shale .Over time of course the shale is ground to a powder.There had been some rain an a layer of this mud had just the perfect consistancy. The turkey had walked through it and made absolutely the most perfect reproduction of the feet.Every detail was there ,even the tiniest was perfect !!!

That's why you should always have a camera with you Mete !:thumbup:

Am I the only one sad enough to take pics of tracks ?

I can take pics of deer tracks on rocks, but they just don't show up to swell. And all our snow melted.

Man that heron track is huge! More like a velociraptor

I tried some bear tracks in the mud but poor photography skills made them usless :thumbdn:

I did run across some older bear tracks though :thumbup:

Now they are cool, Iv'e never thought of them leaving tracks on the trees !
I can't wait to get some pics of bear tracks, I should be going up Island soon and maybe then I will get some in the sand !!!

Hunting in the Adirondacks we had a new member in the group who asked if there were bears there. We showed him a steel garbage can that had been picked up by a bear -the claws went right through the metal !! Another set of bear prints I should have photographed was put on the glass of my door when a young bear knocked on the door one morning . He got chased !!!

Not too exciting but rabbit tracks my daughter and I photo'ed in the winter, out in the backyard.

Here are a couple.


It is tough to tell, but I think that bottom one is a front and rear both.

I just saw a bit of a program { NG ?} that showed a young beluga temporarily stranded on the beach at low tide .A lot of whining about the poor beluga and his problem. They failed to mention the very obvious scars of polar bear claws on his back !!! He had already been in far worse danger !!....Another 'wish I had a camera' scene was that of a mouse track. It went for a while then disappeared ! On closer look off to the sides where he disappeared were marks of the tips of the wings of an owl brushing against the snow !

I dont see any bigfoot tracks

I dont see any bigfoot tracks

That's because Bigfoot are sly stealthy critters that conceal all traces of themselves. Except of course there half breed female offspring, where you can find them at bars.

Indeed? WHat is that?? That tube mag looks pretty large....Lever action scatter gun?

 

[blgoode]

[WVHILLS]

Is that a Marlin guide gun?

50 year old Marlin 336 in .35 Rem. There is also a black bear hanging in that
barn.
