Track ID needed
Member "Backwoods Runner" stopped by last night to show me this video.
He's is stumped, as I am about what made them.
He found them on his trapline.
He could'nt remember his password to log in otherwise he would have given his account on spacing etc.
I'm sure he'll add his two bits shortly.

Where were these tracks made. I would be suspicious that they might be Otter, Fisher or Pine Martin.

Not all that far from water, since I know the rough geographic area that the trap line is on.
I also know that otter's are common on the water the trap line is close to.
I think we should wait for Backwoods to give some specifics.

I think those tracks were made by Dick so the real mystery is...why doesn't he wear socks and boots like the rest of us????

Nope your wrong, Dick's feet are much longer than that, although the toenails look about that long

I would bet a wolf 100%. The track looks displaced because it was most likely running, the foot then slides a little elongating the toes. The tracks going in the opposite direction are easy to tell as a wolf. The only difference is the gate. Look at the stride length as well. That would rule out wolverine and most other critters mentioned.
Just by 2 bits

I came across the same type of track on my line this saturday and then after following it down the trail for a couple of miles found a mule doe carcass that wasn't there a couple days before so............. I'm voting for the Wolf with a bad foot. Wow do they leave a mess or what?

weird tracks
Sorry, but still no definite ID on these tracks. Some of you are way off in left field. 6 inches long, heavier than wolf, 32" stride. Any more guesses.

No way its a coon
you would see a thumb.............and I have never seen a coon track 6inches long........that would mean the coon would be the size of a bear...
