Today I went crust cruising on my skate skiis behind Pyramid and came upon the tracks of a bear fresh out of hibernation. I actually followed his tracks back to the ravine where he had his hibernation den. It snowed yesterday and froze up hard last night - so I know the tracks are from last night. I even found a tree that he dug a hole under and slept for a while yesterday afternoon (partially snowed in tracks leading to the burrow and fresh tracks out the other side). I also know where he is right now because his tracks lead up to a copse of spruce trees and did not come out. I did not attempt to follow him into the trees.
Directly after he took his nap yesterday he relieved himself, and from the placement of his feet he obviously had a hard time getting it all out. And no wonder, it was a plug of dirt and grass! He had not gone to the bathroom since last fall! Poor guy. Patrick

Patrick,
How far apart was the foot placement? Can you describe the consistency of the plug? Please provide photos.
