Title: Some more spring sign
Post by: saylean on May 15, 2010, 09:08:38 PM: 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. :dunno:

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