tracks - what type

[exojam]

Not sure if anyone can make these out, just noticed them today and and the snow must have melted some but I am wondering if anyone may know what made these. Pictures are not the best either.

There is only one dog that I know of that runs around the neighbor hood and he could not make prints this big. These are right off of my driveway that leads into the once wooded area. Thanks.

Chupacabra?

as the snow melts, the tracks appear larger than they were when freshly made

Chupacabra?

Nah, his tracks were in my back yard, not by the edge of the driveway.


Thanks, David. I did not think a yote would come so close and I knew they were not deer tracks.

it could be a coyote--I was just guessing dog. the coyote tracks are typically smaller than a large dog though and the coyote pattern also tends to be more aligned and wander less than your typical carefree canine couch potato.

They can get VERY close--brazen actually. Like most animals living in an urban environment they see you more often than you see them.

Thanks RDG, I could not find my little print card from when I went to the hunters Ed coarse. I saved your link for future use.

May have to put a camera out there.

Just went through a few posts on that thread and at least I had a picture and did not use dashs, dots and 0's.

If Obama had a son, he'd make tracks like that. Jack.
