Only two of these I saw; the bear was photographed by Derek Kite.
Snowshoe hares are around, but are not all that common. The three I saw one morning are the first I have seen in nine years. Who knows? This may presage a good hare year.
The antlers of yearling buck are little more than spikes, resulting in the inappropriate name, spikehorn, for both these antlers and the animal itself. This is a mule deer. 
A bear stands on its hind legs to sniff the wind.

Snowshoes are notoriously cyclic. Hare today, gone tomorrow. (Sorry, couldn’t resist).
Hi Alistair,
Interesting information about your multiple hare sightings. We’ve seen several in the Bulkey Valley so far this year – around our place and at other locations – as well as during a recent visit to Prince George. A good ‘hare-raising’ year in BC, perhaps (following Carlo’s pun, I, too, couldn’t resist).
Alright, I ‘fess up – a pun sprang to mind for me as well concerning tresses and dis tressing. Admirable work, Alistair. I’ve a weakness especially for the bear.
