Even a light snow covering makes it really easy to see animals tracks. This past weekend, I went for a walk in the woods with a few friends, and there was no shortage of tracks for us to see.
Mostly we’re quiet, but some of the tracks lead to a discussion:
‘Look at all the tracks here… squirrel, rabbit, deer, tiger.’
‘Tiger! What?’
‘Just checking to see if you were listening.’
Then a further debate occurs when we come across an area with so many deer tracks that it’s as though there had been a well- attended deer conference. We debate whether the tracks are fresh or not – it’s snowing lightly and these tracks still have fairly sharp outlines with just a few flakes in them.
We continue walking following the deer tracks. As we round a bend in the trail there are 3 deer, 200 feet away, standing in the path. Debate resolved – the tracks are in fact fresh, if the deer are still standing in them.

I was snow shoeing this weekend in Southern Alberta and followed the tracks of a moose – not so fresh that we saw the anima thoughl. The snow was around 1.5 ft deep and the big hoof tracks were unmistakeable. Even saw a few places where it lay down for a sleep.
I saw some bunny pellets and tracks on our front lawn. I was so excited; You can tell I’m from the city, can’t you?
