coyote track?

nc.hunter · 03-14-2008, 05:35 PM

Whats going guys, I have found a hundred footprints like this one all around my feild and house. I have also found smaller versions of this pic wich are most likely all these grey fox I have running around my house. But I measured the stride length in between each foot print and it is about 17 inches. Way to big to be a fox. The footprint itself was measured to be about 3.1 inches. just over 3 inches in length is still to big for a 10lbs. fox. I have also heard very loud howling coming from a corn farm just below my house. It didnt sound like a normal dog. So check the footprint out and tell me if you think its a coyote. ps. this is not the best pic ill get some better ones later.

Nope,it's not a coyote.The toe doesnt stick out and the pad is wrong.It looks like the toenails are worn,more like a dog that walks on hard surfaces a lot. sam

Maybe it is a werewolf, they howl, they walk on all kinds of surfaces? Do they seem to be mostly around a full moon?

It looks like a yote to me. But I could be wrong. But I also agree with Sam. It does have very warn down toenails. But you never know tho it could just be a yote!!!

Put some beef hearts by your house and sit on the roof all night with 12 aluminum friends and a shotgun and I'd bet you money you would find and fix the problem all at once

nc. hunter: Sir; don't shoot them at night and risk your rights for the rest of your life.
From the pictures it is hard for me. Not that the picture isn't good enough, picture is fine. Look for some dung; find hair, bone. It'll look like dog poo, with more feathers, hair, bones finely broken down. Most of the time the poo will be tighter than that of a house dog.
Music of the night, must be a real pleasure to go to sleep by

Keep your eyes peeled, cause they can slip right by you.
