New Track to Identify

[Mike Rae]

I watched the last thread on identifying tracks develop without making a comment or getting involved.
I was suprised at the differing opinions. I was also suprised at the number of bashing comments. Especially from those who I dont think identified the correct animal that made the track.
Identifying tracks is important. See if we can get this one. I chose it because it's VERY similar to the last track.

The pic won't enlarge for me?

Definitely cat in my mind....your thumbnail won't get bigger though so hard to see detail.

Sniper, I think I've seen that picture before

[Mike Rae]

See if this is any better. By the way, not my picture.

[Walleyes]

Oh boy here we go again,,,, But sheep I was all convined on the X factor it made sense to me..

Maybe its just me but I saved the pic to my desktop and inlarged it, you can't get it clear but I can get an X in there,, what do you think ??? or maybe I am pushing the limits on getting the X in there try it and let me know...

[Mike Rae]

Shoot, having troubles with this picture. Another try at posting a bigger image.

Sheep, can I send you the picture?

[corygale]

[Walleyes]

Much better.. And now its clear you can not get a clean X in the track... That is one fine trick my man...

I stand corrected...lol

With my limited knowledge, I will say feline (large) in the center, a smaller elk on the left, and I am hoping Sorel size 10, on the right, because that's what I am comparing the size of the tracks too. Just my opinion, I may be wrong.

[ABwhitetail]

According to the "X"...I say CAT....

[LongDraw]

And the cat track is the front right?
The human trach is rear right. Ha!

[corygale]

was doing some research and feline show a H most often and canids showing x , so i say cat , not a perfect H but you know near
Cory

Mike,

On the website you pulled the photo from, does it say what track it is? Killed after a chase?

[Bushmaster]

Mike, just take the /thumbs out of the url and you get the full sized pic....and I then will delete this.

[ducky_hunter]

That is a Cat track you can see the fur around the paw print

[BUD]

Man tracking Elk , Couger tracking man , haaaaaaaaa.
Always watch your back , haaaaaa.

[Mike Rae]

Bushmaster, thanks for teaching me how to get rid of the thumb, learned something new today.

Longdraw, the site I pulled the thumb from, confirmed it is a Cougar track. It did not say whether the cat was killed.

Jan 10/08 we have all agreed.

LOL. Had to happen eventually

[Big Bull]

Lynx? Oh, I see that you said it was a cougar. Unfortunately, I've never seen a track that clear to identify as a cougar.

[TreeGuy]
