I've been doing a little trapline preparation lately. Slashing trail in the heat isn't much fun!
What I'm most keen in looking for is wolf tracks but with the dry roads and torrential down pours I haven't found any. I realize that this dry/rain stuff doesn't seem to make sense but when the ground is dry the rain doesn't soak in. It just runs on top and wipes out sign.
A buddy saw tracks in an area I know well while he was checking his moose. A couple of older ladies that have a camp saw a wolf from their camp window yesterday at noon. It came down the road, looked at them through the window, and kept on going down the road. There's lots of moose and several deer in the area so I figure the wolf was doing a lunch check as JlDakota described a few months back. Being the good neighbour that I am I slashed their view of the roiad a few feet wider. If I can't find my own sign I'll take all the help I can get!
