Big cat?

[Horsehat]

this was posted on the face book page of a friend who lives across Little Sand Mountain from me. About as reliable a guy as you will ever meet. I’m certainly no track expert, what say ye, ODT. He’s a pretty good sized guy, that boot is probably a 10-11.

That is a canine. You do not see claw prints for cats.

There has been talk of a sighting in the area of a mother and kitten, which explains the small tracks.

Was looking for that, I’m having trouble clearly identifying claw prints.

All 4 pads are pointed with claw marks. And the front edge of the heel pad on a mtn lion is flat.
It's a dog.

There you go.
Also notice the outside toe pads on the canine, how they are 'indented' to accommodate the close proximity of the inner toe pads. Not so with a feline.
