Today I went to Tupper Lake to see Yvon’s hunting camp. It’s a long ride out through an area southwest of Follensby Pond. Old lumber cuts and recent rain made for lots of nice wet, early succession habitat. As we made our way through the gates toward camp he spotted a long straight row of tracks, right between the tire tracks left by a 4-wheeler. The last time I saw tracks was on Van Hoevenburg two years ago with the Westport Youth Commission hiking group. I was glad to see tracks again but would have been even happier to see the big bull himself, although not up quite as close as I got to the tracks. The track size was around 5″ x 6″ with a stride of about 5’4″.
