Participants will be given night-goggles as we look for gray and red foxes, coyotes, and the elusive coy-wolf hybrid (http://wapo.st/1z4GZhm). The group will also be on the lookout for gray wolves, timber wolves, and escaped zoo animals, such as lions, tigers and bears. While hiking we will also discuss the possibility of werewolves and zombies, as well as zombie-werewolf hybrids. Wear sneakers to walk soundlessly. If you have a permit, you may carry a small side-arm for protection (but please check on the status of the most recent court ruling on open-carry before the tour).
