So, I was bored today and decided to walk out to my property and go look for sheds. It's early, but being laid off I am sick of sitting at home watching every hunting video I can find. After walking around for quite some time I found this track. Now, most people may think this is a dog or something, but I know better than that. Usually, I see deer out and about, but today something was different. There were no animals at all. No squirrels, birds, or deer. Absolutely nothing. Which seemed very strange to me. I took this picture with my phone as it was the best track that I found that was clearly frozen in the snow. I wonder if this is why the woods was so quite. Interested to get some input on this. This is in Southern Wisconsin.
I say coyote. I think the pad would be bigger on a wolf. Once in a while I get a wolf up here that walks the creek. A few years back I had a bull moose walk through my yard. Now that was a real surprise considering we don't have moose in my area, but I guess we will have a couple because a neighbor saw a cow also.
Here's set of wolf tracks for comparison... And another set of wolf tracks next to a small bear track Just for size reference, wolf tracks will be bigger than a German Sheppard tracks... Yours looks to be from a fox, but hard to tell for sure with nothing to compare the size with.
It's hard without a reference but I would guess coyote just cuz there are more of them but southern WI is a possibility for wolves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No way to tell from that picture alone. Also, the woods do not "shut down" because a wolf walks by. Even a small wolf print is the size of my palm.
Those dont look like coyote tracks. My 115+lb German Shepherd makes tracks like those... I'd say wolf or large dog.
