Animals and Tracks

Sign, behaviour, and what to do when you meet one.

Beavers and beaver ponds Animals and Tracks What beavers do to a stretch of country, and how their dams, ponds and lodges can help you or get in your way. Blackflies, mosquitoes and ticks Animals and Tracks The small animals that ruin more trips than bears do, and how to keep them off you. Coyotes and foxes Animals and Tracks The two wild dogs you will meet here, how to tell them apart, and what to do when one comes too close to you, your camp or your dog. Keeping animals out of camp Animals and Tracks Food, smell and where you put them: the whole of it. Bears, foxes, jays and mice all read the same sign. Moose and bear Animals and Tracks What to do when you meet the two that matter on this island. Reading tracks and sign Animals and Tracks Who walked here and when: tracks, droppings, browse and the other marks animals leave.
