Foot Prints in the Snow

We received our first snow of the season Saturday night and yesterday evening, about an inch, not much but enough to give everything a nice white coat and enough that footprints are easily left behind, Especially by all the critters out and about during the night. This morning I went down to start my truck and as I looked back up our driveway I saw one distinct set of prints that appeared to be a humans, who was walking about our driveway during the night? Then I got a closer look..

A pretty nice size bear print.

The two darker prints are bear, you can see some fox and my boot print as well, I wear a size 10 or 11 womens, so not a small print but it's not that much bigger than the bears.

By the size of the print which was about 4 inches long or so and about 3 inches wide, it was a big male, but I could be wrong. It was pretty cool to see as the bears should be hibernating soon. The prints looked so much like pretroglyphs I've seen of a bear print, very cool. There were also fox prints and small little ferrel kitty prints too. I wanted to take pictures of the view this morning as it was very lovely with bright blue skies and white blankets of snow but my camera's battery died after I took the footprint shots.
