do you think this is a bobcat track? it seems a little big for a house cat and hes been all over my hunting area,so whatever it is there might be more than one...maybe a fox?

I would say fox or small yote. The front of the pad pertrudes past the back of the rear toes.
A melted out tabby or a bobcat. My guesses.
Bobcat or fox is my guess
some sort of cat,fox is slightly more oval.
It`s Bob.
theyer not melted,theyer fresh
2 blade with a single bevel. Besides that I haven't a clue.
2 blade double bevel..
Bobcat,I missed one a few days ago,hit a strand of barbed wire.You've heard the expression,quick as a cat,that thing went from 0 to gone in a blink.
Canines generally show some sign of claws in fresh snow, felines will generally not. I couldnt pick out claws so Im guessing feline but I have seen some awful large feral cats and bobcats around my area arent that much larger than a house cat.
Bottom track is dog family with nail prints like that. Top set has no nails that I can see, and appear more round, which is more cat like. All from the same string of tracks, or multiple trails? If multiple trails then it might be a bob and fox coursing through the same area. Guess at best. OOps missed the third pict and statement. So best guess is first set of picts is cat of some sort.
a guy gun hunting the area in 09 said he seen a bobcat but wasnt real sure it wasnt a house cat so he didnt shoot, he said it was about 200 hundred yds away,and had little tuffs of hair on its ears. i thought someone here would know what a bobcat track looks like, thanks for your opionons..
Fox, could be grey or red, but definitely Foxy!
Bobcat is more round, those are somewhat oval.
Fox toes aren't as narrow and pronounced with claws like a coyote, especially a grey fox. They have little bity toes that are somewhat rounded and shorter claws that are hard to see in snow. They will show up better in mud.
Just my opinion.
i was hoping you would put your opinion in semo, i know your a trapper so you should know, thanks
Well, it is kinda tough to tell just from pics and the size of bobcat and grey fox are very similar. The one in your third post says grey fox to me, but the ones in the first post is hard to tell?
Maybe this will help? Scroll down to the pic of the house cat track, we may all be wrong and it's neither a fox nor a bobcat?

Either one is a great find because they are both sneeky little buggers. I'd like to get either one with a bow, that would be a true trophy for sure!
ok, i think its a bobcat now because he had about a foot long stride, and it says a house cat only has 6-8" stride,,hmmmmm, wish i had one of those game cameras now....
Small coyote or fox . One coyote or one fox can make alot of tracks.
Not small enough to be a gray fox not big enough to be a yote. Pads not big enough to be any kind of a cat. I say a red fox.
not cat the claws are visible. got to be dog fox or 'yot
No nail, no dog......probably bobcat or large house cat. My guess.
Couldn't resist folks; be careful of them tracks.
Detectives working a nasty case interviewed the remaining partner onsite after being called in to investigate. Seems 3 Texans were stillhunting through the woods & came across some tracks...
"Cuz n Buzz started ta argeein what kinda tracks. Buzz sed Elk & Cuz sed hog. They wuz fightin back & forth gettin louder each poke!"
"So you're saying they may have killed each other then right?" asked the detective.
"Nawsir...a train runned over 'em!"
Now that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are!!
:biglaugh: :laughing:
I would say a big ole bobcat.
bobcat an fox are very diffucult to tell apart unless you have enough tracks to look at the stride
did a search looks lke bobcat to me http://www.bear-tracker.com/bobcat.html
very imformative , thanks bowmaster12
That is some kind of cat. no claws out! Jason

Man am I horrible at telling what things are. I just wish I could find a caribou in Arizona. I keep looking, but still not able to find one of them fellows. :biglaugh:
You need to look for front foot and back foot tracks to positively identify what your looking at. It looks like a very small bobcat or house cat, Not much difference in the two. I have the same tracks all over my yard and deck in the snow right now from are house cat.
Here's a couple of a bobcat to compare. Front Foot!

Back foot

Snow also changes things but that's what it looks like to me. There's a difference between a canine and feline track and once you know it you can better identify them.
Of course this is in Missouri so it's probably a baby mountain lion track :goldtooth: :dunno:

:laughing: :laughing:
:biglaugh:
I no longer care what kinda tracks they are --I'm laughin too dam hard--only a man named Forrest could come up with a story like that!! Thanks Forrest, you made Grampa laugh till he dam near pissed himself!!!
Anytime Dave. Glad you liked it. My friends call me Buddy which all you good TG folks can use. Don't mind Forrest either as I was named after my grandfather on his farm.
100# raccoon,Rabbit on roids. :dunno:
Definitely, a Bobcat.
Now I'm more interested in how KCTrapper managed to flop that bobcat over on it's back and hold the toothy little bugger still long enough to take a pic of it's feet!!
:scared: :eek: :jumper: :laughing: :nono:
I think the three toe track was from a baby T-Rex! :eek:
... mike ... :D ...
Bobs have a triple lobe on the heel. No claws show unless they head up a steep spot.
The one photo seems to have the triple lobe but it's hard to tell.
