WE - I have a rather large list of things I choose not to do. However, I can assure you that crumbling porcupine poop was not on that list. It is now. Thanks!

Squirrels will often strip the bark for nests. They seldom leave any debris. I had an Ash they they stripped one limb almost bare.

Crash may be right on the porcupine. I have no idea how big they...

A person. Using the inner bark for food. I missed the no bark on the ground the first time. Bear would have left bark on the ground.

I was told by a guide in Alaska that curved toenails were the sign of a black bear and straight were the sign of griz. I never tracked either one to prove or disprove his assertions.

Bear. Marking territory.
Me. Bear chasing me.

The easiest way is to catch them sitting next to a tree. Sneak up behind them and, while they aren't looking, tie their ears around the tree. While they are figuring out how to untie them you can...

Well, I'll have you know that I was once tracked by a 7 pound rabbit. Let's recap. Midwest...rabbits....don't eat you.

Yeah, but you know how to hypnotize them.

"Look closely at the swaying spray nozzle. Focus your eight eyes on the end of it."

My wife and I were on a trail not too long ago and there was a spider web about every 10 feet. I'd never seen so many. I kept my walking stick out in front of me to make certain it went through them...

Thanks. A couple of things you can always count on in this forum. A lot of fun and learning a few things. That's what it's all about.

Traces of fur in briers or tree bark. Wide trampled gaps in vegetable where they walked through. Sudden bird sounds indicative of something moving through the woods or birds jumping from tree to tree...

Bear breathing down my neck. It looks down.

"Oh, dang. Would you look at what you did? And I stepped in it. I ain't lickin' that off my paws."

bear scat off the top of your head? No, I must have read that wrong. Let me try again.

Let's see. You didn't saw black or grizzly but since I don't deal with either one I guess it doesn't matter. Claw marks around a turned over or shredded log. Claw marks on trees (black bear?). Scat...

The first time I heard a deer bugle (whatever you call it), I was about 8, in the woods late at night. I had no idea what it was. Dang near died on the spot.

I don't think a mountain lion would...

For what it's worth...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think cats are the only ones that won't have nails displayed in a foot print. Sooo, if a good foot print only shows toes and no nails. The first thought is cat....

Shame a nice cat like that was shot. My personal opinion will get in the way here, I'm sure. Wasn't shot for the meat and wasn't shot for the hide since it was just a target of opportunity and the...

My guess is Lynx or Bobcat. No nails since cats have retracted nails. The fur around the feet makes for a "soft" edge. Did a pounce into or over the brush so the trail ended.

Now tell me this. How do you spell "sticking my tongue out at klkak"?

The slide track says otter. They have been sliding down the bank into the water.

Probably the reason I'm wet, hungry and stuck on this danged island all night!

Don't be playin' around like that, Klkak. You'll get me dethroned as Minister of Science. And with my skills where am I gonna find work in Free Traxistan?

Two drunks sittin' in a bar.
"Gotta...

Stop! Whoa their bucko! You're gonna get me killed. I ain't disputing the looks but the lady ain't been in my canoe, Trax.

Thank you. Thank you. I do two shows a day and the tip jar is at the end of the piano.
