So I was out exploring my area a few weeks ago while I was checking cameras and I ended up doing a bit of bushwhacking using OnX. I was moving N2S along a transition line between a stand of Fir and a stand of Alder. The Fir is Weyerhaeuser and the Alder is a family plot, separated by the lot line I was following.
Anyways, as I'm trekking through the timber, more on the fir side, I came across what appeared to be well-used game trail running E\W. I stopped long enough to walk maybe 50ft each direction from where I'd came across it, then marked the location in OnX, with plans to come back and place a camera and track it more fully.
When I got back to it a week or so later, I explored it fully. Heading east on the track it just meandered through the firs for a while and petered out.
Heading west on the track, into the alder, the brush got thick real quick...bull through it sorta thick. I could tell there was a track to follow, but the brush was so overgrown I would've never tried to pass through it otherwise. The track only went west a short distance, maybe 50yds or so before it ended in this tiny little clearing maybe 20-30ft across. No other exit I could see but the way I came. No tracks or sign at all.
I turned around and went back to my start and placed a cam facing west, but I don't see how anything large could be using the track to any purpose. It's been a couple weeks now and I'll be checking it in the next couple days.
Ever encountered a dead-end game trail like that before?
