What do you think?

Mr. Perfect

This track wasn't there when I went past this area the first time, in about a 2 hr span. Too bad I'm not hunting these fellers

These tracks were laid in sets of 4.

Too large for elk, moose in your area?  Susquatch?

Rocky's friend indeed.

Weren't any cows in that pasture were there?

Definitely not a bovine

Moose.

Where was that?  I have only encountered moose in the NE part of WA close to the ID border.

It's the old Play Boy Bunny symbol.

left side looks like boot print,  is it two prints overlapping??????

Moose or Elk, Randy?

Moose prints will typically show the vestigial hooves.  Is that what we see in the photo, or is that a front and rear print from an Elk?

Moose, maybe. I don't think so. Randy is spoofing you fellas by pressing hard with right side of boot twice? Awful big dew claws.        -----------------------Ray

It's a bull moose track and not a small one either.

Here's a decent buck track I followed, for comparison:

Switched boots?

I did. The conditions prompted more hiking the next day, so I went to a lighter boot.

You know you got one brown boot on and one black boot on?

Don McManus

There be biguns around, Randy.

The first and third photo are of a bull that was in the fish pond adjacent to our clubhouse last year.

The second photo is one I took of a youngster that was about 50 yards from the No. 15 green out here earlier this year.

Dewclaws like that on a moose? Never seen em like that. Usually they have asymmetrical claws too, like bent teardrop shapes thicker on one end, so you know which direction they're walking. Heel end of the claws are splayed apart and tips are close together. So they can kick the fishing pole out of your hand. See the "dock" photo.

Bull moose definitely have dew claws. Having faced down bull moose in the woods many times (usually they are in my way while hunting elk), I can assure you these are pretty typical.
