Went for a walk in the woods up near Traverse City, looking for evidence of cougars. Had just read a magazine article examine the case for cougars repopulating Michigan, migrating from out west.
Originally went just for a walk in the woods; but started seeing strange marks on the trees, and went back for my camera.
Cougar? You decide. Might be just bobcats, apparently those are fairly common. Definitely some kind of large cat though.
Note that the tree pictured was a good 5 inches in diameter. These first 2 shots are from my eye level.
Get a load of the size of the wood splinters on the forest floor.
The scratch marks in this last shot were at least 10 - 12 feet up.
