Canine Tracks

dogfeaturesyw6.gif

A: The claw marks. Dogs usually show claw marks in their tracks. However, it is possible to see claw marks in cat tracks, but this is usually when the animal is running or pouncing.

B: The lack of a third lobe on the hind edge of the [PoorWordUsage] pad. See cat tracks below for the difference. Although it is visible in some dog tracks, the third lobe is located higher, not aligned with the other two as it is in cats.

C: The shape of the leading edge of the heel pad is a single lobe. See cat tracks for difference.

D: The alignment of the front two toes. They are side-by-side, or very close to it, in dogs tracks. There are exceptions, such as when the animal is making a turn or walking on a slope.

E: The almost triangular shape of the pads of the outer two toes. Take a look at the photo to see this more clearly as my drawing is not the best for indicating this feature.

F: Dogs have a little point where the heel pad turns. Cats share this feature.

Feline Tracks

A: Note that the front two toes are not lined up side-by-side as the dog prints were. The toe that is further forward is analogous to a human index finger (the one you point with). The alignment of this toe will tell you whether you have a left or right track. This toe is the inner toe.

B: The leading edge of the heel pad has two parts, or lobes.

C: The hind edge of the heel pad has three parts, or lobes. They are aligned with each other.

D: This is the front track. One clue that tells you this is that the edge of the heel pad is relatively straight. See hind track for difference.

E: Cats have a little point where the heel pad turns. Dogs share this feature.

I'd have to agree with it being in the canine family. I spent alot of time hunting near Two Harbors, MN, and there is a decent wolf population up there. Follow the tracks-I've notice that a stray dog will spend more time marking teritory, and wandering, and a wolf seems to have an agenda. -anyway nice picture, and hope you get some pics on the cam.

I'm thinking pine marten. I just saw an article in the latest Volunteer and...

OK, seriously. As stated by many, definite canine, and judging by the size (unless you have a micro cell phone) coyotes are out of the equation. In my experience, domestic canines have a "rounder" individual track, and wild canines have more of an oval track, longer front-to-back than left-to-right. The first 2 pics posted (same individual track, judging by surroundings)look more oval, last one looks round. Taking into account your location, most LIKELY is somebody's dog.

Just my 2 cents; not really adding anything to the discussion but gives me something to do at 2-something in the morn. smile

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
