Thanks Harry F. Liked the reference to Hogle Zoo. Went there last year. Great Education Department! I had seen scat close to the prints that had a lot of seeds in it and fur. Maybe they didn't go together. Big help! Thanks!

Bears have 5 toes on the ground. My guess is either a dog or a coyote, coyote leave tracks in a single line, dogs leave them in a staggered pattern. Looking at the back of the track, I'm going with dog.
