My wife e-mailed me from work this morning to tell me about this...

It's only about 5 mins from my house by car so I set off to see if I could find any tracks or signs !
Here is the road...

The roads backs onto a park so I figured that's where I'd look !

I have a sheath being made for my Swamp Warden but couldn't wait to take it out so I improvised one for now...

I followed the water heading to where I thought would be a likely spot to find tracks !

I eventually came out onto the mud flats at the inlet, there were plenty of Deer tracks and stuff like this to entice a hungry bear....

Sadly I found no sign of any bears so I decided to follow some other tracks instead.
Firstly I followed some rabbit tracks, I lost them for a while and just when I was ready to give up I spotted the little fella...

I then followed some deer tracks and they led me to this deers rest stop...

A close look reveals the deers fur...

It was then time to break out the flask of tea and take a couple more pics....

Beauty and the Beast !!!

Maisy kept on lookout for those bears while I drank my tea !

With my flask emptied it was time to head on back !!!!
 
I hate to keep repeating myself, but Man, you take great pictures!
- Thanks
 
Nice tracking Pit! Of course, if you found bear prints and tracked them, eventually they would have bear feet in them . . . :eek:

Happy belated birthday!
