Algonquin Winter Tracking Expedition 2009

Wednesday (Day 4)
 
Today we went on a mini-expedition to Chit Lake cabin.

Along the way we encountered a reasonably fresh set of wolf tracks.
Our leader Dan decided we should try calling to the wolves. So, led by Dan, we all howled our best. But we got no response.

We determined a short while after this that the Wolf we were trailing had headed around a small island to look back at us!

A Black Bear had scraped its claws, chewed on the bark, and rubbed itself on this tree, leaving behind these hairs.
