OBSERVED:    These were some of the clearest and most detailed BF tracks I have ever seen anywhere. My wife and I were trying to find a shortcut to FM xxxx through an area of timberland when we encountered a clear and visible line of large tracks in the right-hand side of the deep powder sand road.  I had already run over some of the tracks before I was able to stop,  but the tracks were highly visible out the windshield of the truck.  I stopped the truck after proceeding slowly along examining the tracks.  I turned my truck around and my wife got out for a better look.  The stride between the tracks was such that she could not reach one track from the next without jumping.  Occasionally, I could observe what appeared to be a knuckle print in the track line.  The stride was about five feet.  Although the dry soft sandy dirt did not allow for much detail, two of the tracks were made in an area of road that held together quite well and showed incredible detail, right down to the five toes.  The tracks were just short of 17 inches in length.  However, before I could get out and make any precise measurements and observations of the tracks, an approaching flat bed tractor-trailer truck topped the hill and passed us obliterating most of the track line.  (I jokingly told my wife that that is how my luck runs, that we were probably the only two vehicles to travel that road this day.)  Nonetheless, there was enough track line left to clearly see that it was over 100 yards long before it left the road turned back into the woods.  There were no residences in the general area.  Certainly not within walking distance.
