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.

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!
