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?

Default 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.

Default Track

otters, beavers, fisher, there are all bounders and dont walk like a cat or a dog......so the melted track who knows.....snow melt makes track look bigger and something they are not, but the other track is a dog.....don't know where this is in alberta so could not say if it was a wolf of not...but it is a dog
the melted could be some sort of a bounder....who just a well used coyote trail

Default 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...
