The game-changer was the new scope, Swarovski 25-60×65 STX , which truly allowed me to follow those tiny tracks in the mud.

In fact, I realized, since the Wild Turkey is also not a native species here I have not seen a single native game bird since I came to Montana – a rather disturbing bit of evidence of how hunting interests can trump conservation and science if not watched carefully (as if the need for a national bison range in the first place was not evidence (..)
