thompsonmark23Description
Three scrapes of similar dimensions (~20cm x 24cm) within 200 yards on this trail. Scat deposited on top of much narrower scrape but similar length as the others. No urine smell detected. Leaning strongly towards Mountain Lion, but does anybody want to make a case for Bobcat? Walked 3 miles in this canyon on trail and in river bottom and saw no other sign of bobcat scat or latrines.
