what kind of track?

Roy Steele · January 15, 2011, 08:15:00 AM

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.

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!"

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.

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

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.

SteveMcD · January 16, 2011, 11:40:00 AM

Definitely, a Bobcat.

SEMO_HUNTER · January 16, 2011, 05:39:00 PM

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!!

:eek:
