Love it, "dog,= couch potato, coyote, dig and eats potato"

Cool, thanks for this. I find myself sitting on the trail putting your words to good use. these back claw of a dog may confuse me a bit for now though. Thanks so much for this!

you're welcome! It can be confusing for a long time. But the more tracks you see, that clearer it becomes

I am a forester who spends 12 hour a day in the forest with my dog. She runs an average of 2-3 miles in to work behind the quad/snowmobile and the same back out. During the work day it is hard to say how many miles she puts on. I usually do 8. After watching your last video I was comparing her tracks side by side with coyote tracks, and the claw and toe orientation was exactly the same. As a life long outdoorsman the only difference I can see was her tracks are far more square, while the coyotes were noticeably longer than they were wide. She is a super athletic working dog, which is rare these days, but like everything with tracking, there are always rare outliers that can fool you.

great info! A lot of people were asking about farm / working dogs, and how their tracks would compare. I would also take a look at the size of the pad next time you can compare. On the hind foot of the coyote, the pad tends to register extremely lightly, and often just as a small pad. I wonder if that is the same with active dogs

@@alansnowdeal9845 I don’t really understand the jibberish you wrote. It comes across as being insulting however. As for coydogs, I live in a healthy environment where coyote populations are high. As they don’t struggle to find mates, coyotes here won’t ever mate with domesticated dogs, and will instead eat them if they can. Coyotes only seem to mix with dogs where there environments make it difficult to find mates, or their populations are very low. As for my age and experience, I’m near retirement. I’ve been around long enough.
