I went for another hike today...found lots of fresh peels.
Took a sitting position under a tree over looking the swamp I like to watch...had something come up behind me, very close.
I could hear the foot falls, but didnt turn around (branches were between us)...then bout 5 minutes later, it crashed off...again, still very close. Got wind of me. I am not sure if it was a bear or what.
On the way out, I saw that a cougar followed my tracks for some ways...so it might have been one of them...not sure.

It was exciting though! Enjoy the pics. These were all taken about 200 yards apart if that.
