Those tracks showed definite claw marks so I figured it was a coyote. As you say, that is the main difference with cat tracks as they don't snow their claws. <br /><br />Too, the size might be affected by some snow melt...yeah, snow melt in sub zero weather? <br /><br />Wouldn't it be fun to have one of those remote motion activated cameras out there to get some pictures?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-32511582100208474302011-02-12T17:53:25.905-08:002011-02-12T17:53:25.905-08:00Could have been a lynx too.

I still agree it was a bobcat though. CLOSE to a big cat... but not quite. And probably a good thing. ; )The Equestrian Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600011873327347121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-25190976157261455222011-02-12T13:48:52.991-08:002011-02-12T13:48:52.991-08:00Great adventure.

How does that size work. <br /><br />I too would have been fascinated by them. But doesn't it just go to show how clumsy we are in comparison when it took you so much slipping and sliding to follow them as far as you did?
