Tonight on a different route to go check my trail camera, i came accrossed a horrific odor, i followed my nose, and found a half eaten dead fawn. all around it had been torn up by something i never quite seen before. there was like scratch marks around it, i thought thats odd then i seen the biggest track of my life. I figured it was just a dog, but in the back of my mind i kept thinking its a cat, the track (to me) seems wider and more spaced out kinda like a mountain lion, yes i know it is crazy and probably not one but i kept observing and i dont understand the scratchings around it, and there is hundreds of tracks there some old some really fresh, the claw marks seem just huge and go way into the mud. so i started following the freshest set the led out into the bottoms all the houses are way up the ridge then i noticed a trail that had old and fresh tracks on it. well to make a long story short, all the tracks were concentrated on the upper 1/3 of the bottom along the river in some thick nasty stuff, i followed the muddy bottom along the ridge and there was no tracks anywhere like it went back to its home. so its probably a wild dog, but i figured what the heck i set my trail camera over the dead fawn in hopes of getting something crazy. Im thinking maybe it could be a bobcat, i called in two of them this winter in that bottom coyote hunting, i just dont know how big their tracks get, so wish me luck
and yes, i was a bit paranoid walking around in the thick stuff with nothing but a machete
