Class B First-hand BFRO #43295

Family discovers possible snow tracks in their yard near Land O' Lakes

15 December 2013 morning Land O Lakes, Vilas County, Wisconsin 4 witnesses

Account

On the morning of December 15, 2013, a fresh inline trackway was spotted from a kitchen window and four people went out to examine it. They followed the large deep prints from the woods behind the house through the backyard and front yard, down a driveway across neighboring property toward a lake. The prints were described as about 14 inches long with a stride of just over six feet, single-file rather than side-by-side, and uniform in size and shape.
