Track ID?

[Treeratslayer]

Came across this on a recent hunt. Seemed big for a coyote but wasn’t sure. Figured I’d ask here

Really? I felt like I could see claws and assumed dog. I guess the snow probably exposed them tho? Mountain Lion?

Right on. That’s even more exciting! (As you can now tell, we don’t have a lot of cats in my neck of the woods lol)

The three lobes on the heel of the track says cat.

Here kitty, kitty.
Big bobcat would be my guess.

That and the asymmetrical toe pattern.

Not quite as exciting as a lion I guess but still pretty cool. We had for sure bumped it, whatever it was, because that snow was brand new. It stopped snowing just before we walked up there

Can we make this the kitty track ID thread? How about these, bobcat, lynx or ?

For me it’s really hard to tell even when seeing it in person sometimes. It doesn’t snow where I live but soft substrate like mud tends to make the critter look bigger than they actually are. I’ve seen really big bobcat tracks make you think you’ve got a lion.

Judging by your username I think you and I are from the same neck of the woods. I’ve heard reports that there are a few Lynx in the area again and I’d say that it looks like a lynx track due to the size of the track but I’ve never seen one in person.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a lynx, will be watching for more sign.

Keep us posted if you see any more sign. I know we have a few lions in the area but I have yet to come across one of them or their tracks yet.
