I like to track animals in winter. Yesterday after a fresh snow I had followed deer tracks in about 1 foot of snow for around a half-mile, when the right back tracks began to show a dark, dull green, rather grainy material around the top of the track. This only appeared at the top of the track. Perhaps the snow was deep enough to be hitting higher on the leg and picking up something there. This went on for about steps of the right back hoof and then stopped. Has anyone ever seen this? What is it? No other tracks in the area.

Im thinking moss from a moss bed. Moss usually does not root well into the ground and can be easily picked up by the hoof. moss can easily crumble (grainy)
No. no one has ever tracked a deer. They flow 3" above the floor, and might flow precise by partitions and wood without aggravating something. they are invisible, too. sure, of direction it incredibly is attainable to song a deer. For you, even with the incontrovertible fact that, they'd besides be in simple terms like I defined above. How do i understand that? when you consider which you had to ask the question.
Deer feces is not always black and "pelletized"..Depending on the Deer's diet and eating habits, it's not uncommon for them to slip their bowels....It would also depend on how old the track itself was and when it was made in the snow......
*It could just as easily been infection from a wounded hind leg as well..It would also be dark green....
kinda sounds like something i saw on a horse once.the animal's hoof got infected and produced green pus.of course as he walked the dried pus would fall off as he walked .
