Photo taken in Steens Mountains of Oregon and sent to me. Approximate diameters, back foot 1.5", front foot 2.5". 6 to 8 inches of snow, no belly drag. The animal jumped down over a rimrock and bounded down from rock to rock.

Thanks

Need another picture of the trail.

There is a front foot track on top of a back foot track. Pretty much needs to be two separate animals to pull that off wouldn't it?

Uhm...isn't 5 too many toes for a doggie or a kittie?

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

It's a cat track on top of a canine track.

Good counting !
Are the back feet and the front feet that much different?

Fairly sure there are no fisher in the Steens Mts. There is a large domesticated cat that is called Maine Coon. A Norwegian critter with five toes in front and four in back. Still don't fit the picture.

Not sure where you are at in WY. Those are a Mustelid track. I would guess skunk.
