Thanks guys

I know they're way too big for a coyote. Do you think it's a wolf? Or some kind of domestic or feral dog?

I put a few trail cams out because I thought it was a cougar. I guess we'll see if it comes back.

It is definitely a canine of some sort. Felines generally don't have claw marks in their tracks because of the retracting claws.

That clearly is the track of a Biggus freakinus doggus

Yep, looks like a dog to me.

LOL @ Chris, have to agree with the others here. Looks like a big dog track to me, but will be interesting to see what kind of pics you get.

I haven't picked the camera up yet but I'm kinda disapointed. Every year there are sightings of cougars in the bluffs but the dnr keeps denying them. I was hoping I would get proof here but it looks like all I'm gonna get are pictures of a St. Bernard or Great Dane. It could be a wolf but now I'm leaning more towards a dog. Haven't really heard of wolves this far south.

The pictures should still be good though. It's a really cool area. It's right where the glaciers stopped and dumped off a bunch of trash. There are huge boulders with ferns growing on them. It doesn't look like Wisconsin at all.

Yeah mountain lions are great until they are stalking you while your out for a sunday stroll... I would agree with everyone else and say that this is a dog... I believe another easy way to tell the difference is to tlook at the shape of the toes... i think a felion has a diamond shaped to its toes whereas a dog is more of a perfect oval, atleast thats what i thought

It's a dog / wolf not a cat. I have a couger up hear in Manitoba "seen him twice" and a buddy of mine has a picture of him standing over a dead elk. To find a couger track don't look on the quad tracks or in the mud "unless they slip" My experance (very limited) is they walk in the grass and don't like to get there feet wet.
