Tracks by pond

Here is a shot of some tracks by one of my ponds. The shoe in the picture is size 13 included for scale. So what left these tracks, Big Bird? I suspect it isn't a Velociraptor. Maybe a great blue heron? They don't look quite turkey to me.

The shoe is blue, but I don't think it's a heron.

Whatever it was it probably got mugged by that masked bandit that was following it.

Gary, Careful with the mud slinging as I seem to have a lot more ammunition than you.

5string, There were also armadillo and some canid tracks. likely coyote but not neccessarily in the picture I posted. We are crawling with coons. They literally dot the roadside with their carcasses, one way to estimate their numbers. They leave tracks all around my house building site every time there is a sprinkle of rain to allow a lasting impression.

Maybe you should package the mud as an Oklahoma Facial!

Gary, Now there is a money making plan. I'll wholesale it to you real cheaply and you can make all the profit the market will bear. As a startup consideration and show of good faith, I'll give you the first couple hundred cubic yards FREE but in consideration of this promotional offer, you'll have to dig it up and haul it away at your expense. Let me know when you want to start, I can't hold this for you as an exclusive forever.
With friends like you, who needs enemas?

We need to bring someone else into this deal. It's going to be big I tell ya!
Perhaps we can get Itmecindi to be our rep in Florida! The Oklahoma Mud has to be good for her hogs. She's got mostly sand. Don't you think her hogs need mud. And we know Oklahoma has the best mud.

Gary, Best mud? Best is hard to defend. Best for what? Mississippi mud has a lot going for it in certain aspects. Major league baseballs are all scuffed with "STANDARD MUD" prior to being put into play. Historically this has been, I believe, Mississippi mud but at any rate isn't Oklalhoma mud. (Not that it woldn't do a fine job but it isn't traditiional)
Now HOG MUD is an important aspect of swine culture that Oklahoma mud is fully capable of leading the world in if properly promoted (not my forte.)
I stand ready to source the raw materials but am not prepared to "mine" it in commercial quantities.

That Mississippi mud is supposed to be a real treat for your feet, too.

Slamfire, Yes, it is a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud! 
Been there, done that, on the banks of stock watering ponds and the Tom Bigby River while visiting my dad's kin near Scooba.
