Thanks to all. Most of the chase was either rock hard snow on the ridges and North Facing slopes and dirt on the south facings. It was actually a pretty long run. Havn't had much luck lately finding anything. Normal for me for this time of year. Usually have to walk those south facing dry slopes to find the cats this time of year but after walking through some big snow this winter, walking the those bare slopes is a welcome change. Just biding my time until the bears start moving!
