Title: What Did You Just Step In?
Post by: WapitiTalk1 on June 03, 2014, 02:32:05 PM: Here are a handfull of trail bombs you may encounter during your elk woods adventures. Can you name which animals they came from? I will tell you that there are "offerings" from a mountain lion, moose, wolf, brown bear, bobcat, coyote, black bear, and elk pictured. We'll do tracks after this thread runs for a bit ;)

From #1 to #8, who provided these scat piles for our viewing enjoyment?

Well here I go:

1) Brown Bear
2) Mountain Lion
3) Black Bear
4) Wolf
5) Elk
6) Moose
7) Coyote
8) Bobcat

1. Black Bear
2. Bobcat
3. Brown Bear
4. Coyote
5. Elk
6. Moose
7. Mt. Lion
9. Wolf

Post by: Wose on June 07, 2014, 10:41:10 PM: This is a good thread right here. I have a deep interest in tracking, and find this sort of thing really useful. I'm lucky enough to live in a place where I can track a little every day, if I make it a priority.

Someday I'd like to start a tracking club out by Yacolt. Right now I just handed my wife our newborn, so it's gonna have to wait!

I'll have to dig up some scat and print pictures and post them when I get a moment.

Thanks again!
