Title: What critter is this?
Post by: NOCK NOCK on June 23, 2019, 05:43:14 PM: This was an over winter cam in a heavy downfall area. The tree went down and camera was only 12" from the ground, face down. What body belongs to this foot? Bird pic for size reference.

I'm gonna guess Wolverine
My first thought too.

Post by: NOCK NOCK on June 23, 2019, 08:49:35 PM: I don't think it was a bear......unless it was a tiny cub, feet to small.
Could be wolverine, :dunno: How about a pine marten?

Post by: Alchase on June 23, 2019, 08:53:35 PM: The foot, Skunk?

Post by: bowhunterforever on June 23, 2019, 09:01:05 PM: Pine marten maybe

Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: j_h_nimrod on June 23, 2019, 10:24:32 PM: Marten feet are tiny, way smaller than that. My guess is a small bear or wolverine.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on June 23, 2019, 10:35:51 PM: Looks like bear to me...
General location?
NE, SE, NW, SW?

Too small.
Maybe littlefoot?

Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: Caseknife on June 24, 2019, 07:31:55 AM: My guess would be a Fisher, color is right and the size is about right.

Agree, that’s the one I was trying to think of but couldn’t come up with the name. Saw a couple of them years ago near this area.
My best guess would be Fisher then Wolverine, just doesn’t seem to have the right shape/style/ look as a bear
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: boneaddict on June 24, 2019, 08:01:42 AM: My guess is Fisher. If that’s the case, cool!
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: Caseknife on June 24, 2019, 08:13:04 AM: Honestly, I couldn't remember the name either and had to google Mustelids. Remember the feel of the fisher skin in Mammology class from Central back in the early 80's, by far the softest of all the skins.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on June 24, 2019, 09:17:53 PM: Fisher paw looks like this.
I'm sticking with bear cub
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on June 24, 2019, 09:24:27 PM: Wolverine

100% bear cub :twocents:

:yeah:
That is what I keep going back to. Claws seem darker and deeper than fisher or wolverine I have seen and the wrist/paw a little broader and more flat.
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on June 24, 2019, 09:34:29 PM: Bear.

Bear.

Hmmmm. That does look pretty close to the OP.

I still think it’s funny I got a pic of critters with cam in that position.
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: boneaddict on June 25, 2019, 10:10:39 AM: Well considering theres probably 1 wolverine in Washington to about every 2500 bear and maybe double that for Fishers, odds are...... yes, that is funny you still got pics.
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: HoofsandWings on June 26, 2019, 06:53:22 PM: Does the date of the shot suggest a bear cub?

Any water nearby? River otter?
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: NWghostgetter on June 30, 2019, 03:49:24 PM: Fisher or a marten. Wolverines have real beefy mits
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: PA BEN on July 07, 2019, 07:46:00 AM: 100% Bear
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: yakimanoob on July 17, 2019, 11:53:57 AM: +1 for skunk or fisher.

Doesn't seem like a bear paw to me. Because.... emotions, I guess. :chuckle:
Title: Re: What critter is this?
Post by: Bigshooter on July 17, 2019, 01:09:07 PM: Probably a bobcat.
