For those that said Bear scat,give yourselves a pat on the back !!!

The outer toe tracks on a Coyotes forefoot are larger than the centre toes on a dog they are roughly the same size or smaller !!!!

Didn't know that, thanks:thumbup:

Do you know how to tell Coyote tracks from dog tracks?
The outer toe tracks on a Coyotes forefoot are larger than the centre toes on a dog they are roughly the same size or smaller !!!!

Also if you follow a trail of dog tracks you will notice how sloppy he walks, his tracks are off beat & spread out while a Yote's tracks are very neat & most of the time in more of a straight line type of stride

How about this, who can guess?

I'd say bobcat.

I'd better love 'em. When hunting, they are what I usually have to make my stew with at the end of the day....

A pellet of egret and foot prints of unknown animal, should they belong to a racoon ?
I'm not sure.

I love following them, but as you said its tuff in the summer. I can always tell a trail by the mess of the leaf litter as they walk through, but I can't tell if its deer, coyote, etc.

You may not find "footprints" everywhere you find "sign" of an animal passing. Go to an area closeby that will allow you to find the footprint you want to see. Nearby ditches, fence lines, areas of soft ground etc all provide areas where you will be able to see the footprints. Fencelines are great because the animal will have to dig in it's feet to either jump or crawl under the fence.

Snowshoe hare, light powder on hard crust:

We look for new tracks when we walk the dog. Deer routinely come down off the hill to check the birdfeeder, where we put out cracked corn for the wild turkeys. It's also fun to find fox, mice, squirrels and check out their travels.
