Puzzled by what I've found.
 

A couple of weeks ago I was out working on my stand set up for the upcoming season. I cleared a trail from my stand aera down along a stone wall and out to a woods road that runs through my property. These woods have undisturbed for years so there was a lot of branches and and leaves that make lots of noise when dry(end of summer). So I got out the clippers and a rake and cleared the path. I figured the deer would use this trail and sure enough it was all ripped up when I went back but I found lots of white hair in the trail. I am at a total loss as to why this hair is there.
Could it be from the deer shedding its winter coat or possibly from a doe dropping out a fawn. I would think if it were from a birthing doe I find more then some white hair.

Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas as to what it is from?

You best be careful as i'm certain it's the jackalope that is shedding this white hair you speak of[8D]:)--i honestly don't know[&o]

Elk and Deer hair laying all over the ground here Adams....shedding their winter coat.

No, Say it aint so. I'll have to move my stand another 30-45 feet higher up the tree to be safe. That could be hard considering it isn't an old growth forrest. Well if anyone is looking for a lease in southern New Hampshire let me know. I also have bridges for sale in Florida.

I thought this may be the case but I've never seen it before. I probably wouldn't have this time either had I not raked away the leaves and sticks.

Yeah I came up on that today! Only difference was the rib cage in the middle of it all![:@] Found the skull a few hundred yards away. A small doe.[>:]

Anyway within a hundred yds there was white hair down a couple trails. Mostly in small clumps here and there.
