I'm wondering now if it was a hare. There was a thaw and the tracks might have spread to look wider than they were originally. :shrug:

Yep. A fox could squeeze through no bother, but would be more likely to just jump the fence unless it didnt have that option..... :thumbs:

Closer and we might have seen if a few hairs had been knocked off by the wire. Next time, if there is one?

Caramel Wafers :thumbs: :thumbs:
English made from top notch ingredients and the size has always remained the same.
A staple for any angler if ever there was one.
