30-06 case?   :dunno:  Maybe a large coyote?

If 300 Weatherby, then maybe the track is large enough to be a wolf.  :o
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

You can argue the point but three other saw all of they were all the same size and they coyote tracks early that day we saw are have the size.  Coyote tracks also don't have as sharpe of a front point. You had to be there.

That sucks.  But on the bright side, I suppose that could help get to delisting faster if wolves can be confirmed there.  Was it reported to WDFW?

As an -06 cartridge then it doesn't scream wolf to me.

There are plenty of coyotes that make tracks that size.  Most wolf tracks I've cut are bigger than my palm.

It wouldn't surprise me too much if there were wolves there, all I'm saying is this evidence is far from irrefutable.  Glad you got a cow  :tup:

 :dunno: :dunno: what are you saying/asking?

Are you asking if the wolf tracks are as big as my palm?

You're right on that but I'm talking about tracks in the 113, 117, 121 GMUs, not Winston so it might be possible that I've seen actual wolf tracks   :tup:

Plenty of times, though I'd rather have a .25-06 in my palm  :chuckle:

I'm not trying to discredit your belief that there are wolves in that area.  Once again...

all I'm saying is this evidence is far from irrefutable.  Glad you got a cow  :tup:
