Submitted Photos: Bear tracks in Buchanan County?
Carol Mallory of rural Walker was taking her morning walk along a Level B dirt road near her home about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when she noticed a trail of large animal tracks in the road.
“They looked like over-sized paw prints that could be bear tracks,” she said.
Mallory said she had been following the progress of a black bear that had last been sighted Thursday morning in Jesup. “He was supposedly heading southeast along the Wapsipinicon River, a course that could take him through here,” said Mallory, who lives about two miles from the Wapsipinicon.
The trail followed the road for about half a mile before disappearing into one of the ditches, she said.
