Wolf Track?

I saw this on the opener of muzzle loader season. This was a couple miles from the gate where there was a herd of elk hanging out. I caught up to them another 300 yards in. This track was over the fresh elk tracks. This was north of Newman Lake.

How big is the track  Measure your rangefinder to find out. Measure the part of your range finder that is equivalent to the track

It is 3 1/4" wide x 5 1/8" long.

The sandy soil makes the track appear larger than it is. Note the other front foot on the other side of the range finder! I think it is a coyote track.

There were some coyote tracks there too but this set was quite a bit larger.

I would agree the track on one side is defintely coyote sized, but the larger track is definitely not being made by the same animal.

There is no way to tell a wolf track from a big dog track, but coyotes are significantly smaller than wolves... the difference in tracks is like a deer vs. moose...

Wolves leave large prints- It wouldn't suprise me if there were a few wondering around just North of Spokane.
