Has anyone noticed an increase in activity. We've noticed alot of traffic around a local pond. A friend who lives in this area began having encounters this very time last year and subsquently they dropped off later in the year. We've had great weather here in NC but too wet to make cast where were finding the prints. I've got a friend who thinks some may be bear related due to the deep heal impressions with relative few prints having partial to full impressions. He will join me this weeken for further review. Ive taken pictures but not with my digital. Once I get the roll full Ill let you know, if there are any worth posting. I remember alot of tree knocking that started around april or may last year. Im in better shape to investigate this year. Responses welcome. Later Glenn
