A surveyor and trader for the Northwest Company comes across tracks of an unusually large, unidentified animal

A surveying party traveling through the Rocky Mountains in winter came upon a large, well-defined track in shallow snow on ice. The track was measured at about fourteen inches long by eight inches wide with four toe marks and was seen extending about a hundred yards from north to south. The party chose not to follow it, with companions unwilling to pursue such a large animal with small guns, and the party leader recorded uncertainty whether it was an unusually large bear or something else.
