Shevlin, Clearwater Cty, Minnesota
Jan 1963
Account
Squirrel hunting, Dan Tweten found tracks on a logging road at the back of the family property and followed them for a couple of miles, in as straight a line "as if you'd fire a rifle"' including stepping over a sheep netting fence with barbed wires on top which he had trouble finding a place to cross. Lost the tracks at the top of a hill with a lot of pine trees where there was no snow.
