These tracks were along my north/south road this a.m. Looks like it was scent checking my and my north neighbor's woods. Cut into their woods on a deer trail. Much larger than the coyote tracks I see quite frequently. Seemed more round than a domestic dog, but also smaller than the wolf tracks I've seen. I'm leaning young wolf. What say you?  |

It sure looks too big for a coyote, but it is hard to tell from a picture. Wild dogs and/or wolves are not good for the local deer population.

Yep, I'm about 99% sure it isn't a coyote. My wife went for a short shed look/see. No sheds, but did find more tracks from the same critter. I know there's a few missing dogs in the area. If the thing shows up within range, it'll go missing permanently.

This is an eastern coyote off a large bobcat. We supposedly do not have wolves.  |

Pretty darn sure this was wolf track that I came across up north this fall. There is no fitting 2 of these prints in my mitt. Coyote is my guess for the original picture in the post.

Yep. I was deer hunting in 25 year old Sorels, blue jeans, and vinyl coated work gloves.
