I've asked this same question here before and have been wrong. Seeing what others think this time. Although I have nothing for reference the track is a solid 2.5 inches wide. Looking for opinions. Thanks.

Keep an eye out for piles of black tarry stuff full of fish scales on the banks. Good places for sets that passing otters will frequent all season long. Good luck
