Tracks?
« on: October 22, 2016, 10:20:00 AM »
I found this walking back to truck yesterday and I don't know what made it--This was in Burke county Georgia--East Central Georgia...The first pic is just to show size comparison to my safety harness carabiner, its not real big-bout 3.5 to 4 inches.
Got any ideas?
Rick

At that size and the toes in a line like that,it would just about have to be a small bear.I only see 4 toes but there could be 2 on the left,pushed together.

without visible claw marks I'm guessing on the cat side. In ground that looks pretty soft a bear or feral dog would leave some mark. Cats move with the claws retracted.

Closest thing I can associate with it is bear. Its not cat or canine. The toe spacing and heel pad are completely wrong for them. I guess if its not man made, it would about have to be bear.

I'm always amazed when people see a track with no claw marks and automatically it's a cat track. Looks nothing like a feline track    :thumbsup:   well except Bigfoot, lol

Most people around here think bear also with a couple who think cat. I can assure you it is not man made--We have had bear sightings in this general area--bout once every 3 or 4 years--they say they are usually young males on the prowl and that they can travel great distances looking for a girlfriend... I have also heard of Florida panthers making it this far north--I think a hunter may have killed one over towards Macon a few years back. I think it is a young bear myself but I am by no means a bear or cat expert--they just don't live/stay around here so this track was just way out of place.
Thanks for the replies,
Rick
