So someone asked if I could etch bear tracks like I did with the Elk tracks on a couple of knives.

Opinion, does it look like bear tracks?

Yes they do look like bear tracks. Cool...

Thank you, after 30 views I figured no one had an opinion. Just trying to figure this whole etching thing out, lol

Yes, they look like bear tracks, shape is right - the toe pads may need to be more pronounced though.

Linear tracks turn in a bit more, and the toe nails, especially on the back tracks point inward versus flaring out like your top track.

Toe prints need to be a little larger as well. Good job though.

Looks better! Check this out ..you might get some ideas from it. It is an actual plaster cast from a grizzly in the Bob Marshal Wilderness..Montana

Try larger toe pads with less seperation from the foot pad.
