I am guessing these 1st two are coyote but man they seem HUGE compared to the typical small tracks I see. The gate was also huge, over 3' and close to 4'. I am guessing on that as I didn't think to measure if but it was noticeably long.

I could almost be convinced that they are wolf tracks? (We are suppose to have Mexican Wolves here but I've not heard of any)




Saying this is a bobcat but I've not seen bobcat tracks that I can remember and again, these seem HUGE.


All were on the same trail with what I figured were some deer tracks and small 'dog' type prints that would have guessed coyote. There were no human tracks, only mine.

ETA: I was out scouting for javelina, didn't really see much of what stood out as javelina tracks but they may have been buried in with all the rest.

I did get in 1 coyote stand... It was around 1600, didn't see anything but the tree I went under had yote tracks around it...

The bottom print appears to have nail marks, which would indicate canine, not feline.

Yeah I know all that, I just don't see it. The toes are slightly pointed but I don't see and didn't  notice any nails.

But I am also going with educated guesses

Top looks like a dog. Bottom looks to be coyote, certainly has the shape.

Really the bottom one is coyote? I couldn't see any nails on them, uh?

I wonder where the dog came from as there was only animal prints on that game trail? Usually when I see big canine prints I see human foot prints was well so I didn't know what to think of them.

There was a lot of traffic on that trail too. Next time I go out there I am gonna photo more of the tracks I find and see what you all can tell me. I am by no means an expert

I welcome any and all experience you guys have help me learn.

was it in a perfectly straight line? or were the prints offset? (like if your were following the tracks, was the right foot in the same line/step as the left?)

Bottom looks like bobcat. I've never seen a coyote track with toe marks that round. The claws would be more visible too.

Top looks more like coyote. Looks bigger than what I usually find though.
