I agree. Looking at stride is a great indicator. 8-10" for bobcats, 12-14" for coyotes. Another trick i learned when I had a hound is the "X" method. With coyotes you can draw an X from between the toes and not hit the pad like this.....

For bobcat, the pad gets on the way

If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Thank you all your the replies. Cat trapper appreciate how you differentiate between the two. Very helpful

That is a cat track.

2nd pic is a perfect example showing the tri-lobed rear edge of the pad.


Thank God For Your Blessings!

That is a canine track...all day..every day..and twice on Sunday.

You guys must have been at the Honky Tonk last night with Savell

And are too impaired to decipher the difference....

I love it when cat tracks are that obvious.
