Casting Bear Tracks

 


It’s not  often I find a bear track in soft substrate. This week while hiking looking for tracks and scat I found bear tracks along with several other critters in a muddy area. In the last ten years I’ve located only four bear tracks worth the effort packing in casting material. Yesterday morning I headed out before dawn, hiking a mile or so to reach the area with bear, turkey and otter tracks. It was a bit chilly, thirty one degrees. My plan was to cast the most detailed bear tracks and go from there. I was able to cast four bear tracks and a turkey and otter foot.
