Tracks in the field: Example 1.

Wolf Tracks Here, a wolf has trotted down a bush road beside a snowmobile track. Most large mammals will make use of "our" trails and roads to make their journeys easier. They will often take advantage of the packed snow of a snowmobile trail, especially when the snow is deep. Another time, on this very road, I had one of my most eery wildlife experiences. I'd been walking down the road when I came across a set of fresh wolf tracks that lead towards me, then veered off the road and into the bush. On the way back home, along the same road, I encountered wolf tracks again, coming back out of the bush and continuing on the road in the direction I had originally come from, with some prints directly on top of mine. There was no doubt, I'd had a close encounter and not even known.
