Have you guys ever seen a deer with a racing stripes down a side?
I was in the North Cascades two summers ago and a deer came up in to our camp that had healed claw marks on its sides — evidence that it had escaped from the clutches of a mountain line. We named it Lucky.
Up about 7,000 feet in the Pasayten Wilderness on hikes I’ve seen lion foot prints on the trail. Never seen any actual kitties.
