Wolf?
« on: March 17, 2020, 09:33:21 PM »
A little context: This was an iphone that is 5.5" long. The phone is being held 2-3" off the snow, making the track look smaller. There were 3 sets of tracks right next to each other running in a straight line through the snow. The stride length was 35-40" on all sets.

I'm not exactly an expert on wolf tracks, but have seen plenty of coyote/large dog tracks. These ones were big. But, again, I could be completely wrong. Thanks in advance!

Maybe 3 big dogs then.  Also, melting tracks can look bigger  :dunno:

Right on city limit border - not terribly far from the turnbull area, or the rock creek area where landowners have seen wolves down in the canyon.
Thanks for the input though. It was definitely a weird place for 3 dogs to be running through - been to this place many times to shoot my bow and NEVER seen dog tracks

There have been several wolves in Turnbull and down to Rock Lake.  Remember 1 was shot by a Ranch hand 2 year summers ago between Sprague and Lamont.  And then the guy who chased one and shot is southwest of Colfax.  They follow the Elk

Is the time of year they have often been seen here abouts, consider they could have moved twenty miles that night.   Bovine calving season, pay attention
