Another wolf track thread. I found these near the Mill Creek Watershed. Is it wolf?

Yup that's a wolf track

Although it's large enough, I would question it due to the fact it's on a roadway. Possibly a domestic dog.
I spent some time up there this spring, in the wenaha and there were wolf tracks present, so it's still a possibility.  :twocents:

Wolves love to run the roads. It's like a big trail lol.  Even my grandfathers Irish wolf hounds didn't have a 4 1/2-5" track and those dogs where HUGE!

I was walking the road and the tracks went across the road so they were only in one spot. If it were a domestic dog I would think it wouldve been walking down the road and maybe some boot prints to go with it from its owner. I don't know. I just thought they were the biggest canine tracks I've ever seen.

Being on the road it could go either way. But there is a pack in the blues.

It's probably a wolf track but keep in mind it'll be stretched a little bit on the gravel road as it'll slide a little elongating the track.
