Bear Tracks in the Snow.
16-Jan-14The Felis Absconditus.
16-Mar-13http://cyberblogue.com/linux-and-windows-active-directory-centrify/ More bobcat visits. Three nights ago it was particularly outrageous. Because the night before I saw tracks which went back and forth in front of my house which were laid down between 8 p.m. and midnight, the following night I made it a point to shine a flashlight into the night every fifteen minutes.

31-Dec-09There were a pair of unusual tracks across my front lawn when I inspected the property on Wednesday. Two large animals walked right past my front door, not twenty feet from the cabin. The tracks were several days old and I found no sharp details – no pads, no clawmarks, nothing truly indicative. The impressions […]
