This morning when I was snowshoeing the trail, it struck me that I really hadn’t seen any deer tracks along the trail over the past two days. We did have a couple of snow storms, so I thought they were probably just hunkered down in some trees somewhere, and not out walking around.
When I got down to the lower field, I did come upon some deer tracks, so evidently, some deer were out and about. At the edge of the field I came upon a big depression in the snow. It was about the same size and volume as a bathtub.
There was also some big tracks leading to the depression. They were bigger than deer, so I suspect it was probably a wapiti (elk). The tracks were not as big as moose tracks. The wapiti evidently, had snuggled down in the snow and had a sleep.
