Greyman 25,111 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 It's a canid for sure, dog or fox and shame on the badger caller as all mustelid,s have 5 toes that's all stoats,weasels, mink otters and badgers, anyone else taking footprints for identification it is a big help if you put an everyday item next to the print like a phone or even a coin, tape measure even better, the toes being a bit splayed out and claws like that the animal was possibly running, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,111 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Most bull breeds of dog have a rather round footprint which can be quite easily confused for a cat if you can't see the back pad, often wider than it is long , ( know your prey and know your land ) terry grant mantracker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
