A fury friend I saw the day after the close encounter described above. Pine Creek Trail headed south from Ansonia, PA. He must have been just off the trail. I coughed are spooked him. Heard a big splash and looked over to see him swimming across the creek. (Notice the ripples in the water.) Nearly wiped out when I slammed on the brakes to stop and fire up the camera. He turned back for a look before disappearing into the brush. Judging from his size and the fact that it was mid-September, it was probably his first year on his own.
