can anyone help identify these tracks?
« on: February 02, 2003, 03:21:33 PM »
Just found a disposable camera from deer season I forgot about and got the pictures developed. Came out real bad, closeups are just white snow but I have a picture of some sort of cat? track I would like to identify. The boot in the bottom left hand corner is my size 12 sorel pac boot if that helps for size reference. Picture was taken on my land in the NY Catskills. Thanks.  [http://photos.yahoo.com/pic23album][/img]

Cant identify a boot print either, it is just too fuzzy  Definately feline, but I cant get a reference for size.

Thanks for trying.  The pictures are real bad, the closeups are even worse, look like they were taken at night without flash. If its any help the picture was taken looking straight down at the track and straight down at my boot. thanks again.

I didn't look at the photo but if you are looking for evidence that there are mountain lions here there is no need.  I saw one a few years ago.  If you take a picture or a cast of a track to the DEC they will tell you that it is a Great Dane with the claws removed (their standard answer)
somewhere betwixt a baulk and a breakdown

Found two turkeys that had been killed and eaten in the same location and was wondering what was doing it. Thought maybe a big coyote from the footprints but there were no claw marks. Was thinking more along the line of a bobcat but who knows. I ran the road after the snow fall and the only thing that came in from the outside were deer so can't be any domestic animal unless it traveled over a few mountains to get there. Anyone know where I can find pictures of cat scat and bear scat?Thanks for the input.
