Coyote or Other canine (w)
« on: January 25, 2014, 06:13:36 PM »
Know it is a canine and I think it is to big for a coyote but is it big enough for a wolf?

yup - they aren't all huge if they're female or juvenile.  If you find an alpha male track you'll crap your britches.

Doesn't mean it's a wolf though, but it could be.

Not sure, but I would not stay around there to long it looks like he dropped his smokes and from what I have seen they are really expensive so I'm sure he will be back for them.   :chuckle: :tup:
"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted..If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

I saw a pair of tracks 20 years ago in fresh snow, and at first I thought they were St. Bernards.  when I got to them and looked at them, I thought no St. Bernard makes tracks that big!  Had to be a pair of wolves...  It was miles from any house, too...
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Coyote tracks are not that wide they are more oval
There's no reason to miss

Track size is 4 inches to 4 1/2 x 5 inches and is a good place to start Jingles.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

a really good guess with looking at wolf tracks on the internet, and doing some reading those look to be wolf tracks...i dont trust the internet too much, but that track looks a little wide... :)

wolf track.   main pad is chevron shaped(front foot). Stradle is 4-6", walking stride is 26-30". Front feet have a two lobe heel pad(chevron shape) and rear hells are 3 lobed. Some huskys front feet have the some two lobe heel pad but are always 20% smaller than a wolf of the same weight and typically dont have as long of a walking stride.
