Walking properly in Minimalist Footwear your also more likely to run into Wildlife since your making softer contact with the ground as you take steps. Your less likely to step on Dry Branches or Kick Rocks as you walk.
Elk, Black Bear and others are hard to get pictures of sometimes. Lots of times they run off before I even think about getting a Picture.

Jake,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I don't mean to be a pain in the ass but I am nearly certain that your bobcat track photo is mislabeled. The symmetry in the track, the fact that an "x" could be drawn through the center, the closeness of the front toes and the claws showing in the leading toes are all evidence of a canid. My guess is it is most likely a coyote (other possibilities are red fox and small domestic dog). I would need to investigate closer and have a bit more info to say with 100 percent certainty.
Your first cougar track also has the possibility of being a bobcat but I would need to know the melt-out conditions as well as the true measurements to say for sure.
Your other cougar track photo is fantastic. Note the asymmetry in the tracks in comparison to the coyote track.
Just thought you might want to know.

Nice cougar track in the mud!
