[lpcjon2]

Went to one of my stands that is about 200yrds from a huge sand wash and found these track with deer tracks running ahead of them.Looks like they were chasing down some deer.What do you think they may weigh.They are from two sets of tracks. I used a 125gr Snuffer as a reference.

Track -1
 

Track -2
 

and I found this 20yrds away today

It's Ole 3 toes!! Yikes!!!!

Better put two arrows on your string..lol

Seriously what is it a track of in your opinion?

God bless,Mudd

[lpcjon2]

Mudd,It's a coyote and they are in numbers in this area I hunt.From the yelping and howling at night the pack has to be at least 15-20 strong.They say that yotes in South Jersey are 35-40 lb I think he may go way over that mark.

Don't discount a domestic dog.  I've followed the tracks of a golden retriever I watched walk through the wood, until it hit a deer track.

Why not dogs?

[OkKeith]

I would say it's a domestic or feral dog. Too round to be a coyote track. Coyote tracks are 1/3 longer than they are wide and rarely show webbing between the toes.

Big Lab, Swamp Collie or something, I'd say.

It is not that easy to ID from those pics but the tracks look a bit 'round' to be coyote. JMHO

[BFinegan]

Don't know what it is, but coyotes always sound like a bunch more than whats really there. Not saying you don't have a lot of them but a few can sound like a lot.

[ishoot4thrills]

Looks like a dog track to me as well.

[beetlebailey1977]

Thats a dog track...coyotes toes are closer together.

[jhg]

Dog for sure. Round overall print. Wolf/coyote elongated with longer center toes. Oval overall shape.

Guys I'm not sure what it is but i can tell you that a coyotes front foot is round and its hind foot is oval and smaller than the front.

[David Yukon]

I have to agree with the others on dog track!!

[njloco]

lpcjon2, we do have the largest of the coyotes, run 30lbs. to 50 lbs. from what I've heard. My two friends saw what they thought were two big dogs on the property and it turned out they were yotes. We hunted by the race track in Englishtown.

[joe ashton]

yup  dog track..

[Airborne]

Nice big track--I shot a Utah coyote that tipped the scale at 34lbs--my biggest so far--usually they are around 25lbs

[Thumper Dunker]

Looks more like dog tracks than coyote. But your coyotes are not realy real coyotes. Wolf hybrids type things. Go call them in and poke them. Maybe 30-45 lbs. thier paws will spread out in mud or snow. Still big. good pictures.

[lpcjon2]

It may be a dog I don,t know it's running deer pretty hard at night.I go by every morning after a night hunt to check. I will try to get some more pics,can't do a trail camera it would be gone (thieves).Thanks for all the input.Tim
