Help me identify these tracks.

[SideShow Bob]

Jackalope's rarely migrate below the NoCo / Wyoming border. There's been an occasional spotting of them up near walden, as of now still unconfirmed. I'm in the chupracabra tracks camp.

You're wrong there, they range as far south as the Mexican border. You can pick up stuffed & mounted ones at just about any roadside curio shop along the secondary highways down that way, especially in AZ. near the Rez's.

Due to over harvesting, they are rare in the wild. The Govt. should declare them an endangerd species.

Turn the item over and see the MADE IN WYOMING tag. Imports i tell ya, imports.

Snipe

Or the elusive Jackalope.

I can tell you from personal experience that snipe are more elusive than jackalopes which can be found on the wall of every bar and restaurant in Wyoming. Snipe, other than those we hunted in my Boy Scout days, are real. Funny thing is, there are real snipe at Camp Tahosa. Secretive birds, snipe inhabit wetlands in small numbers from the eastern plains to the top of the Continental Divide. Some remain throughout winter in the high mountains along tiny open springs and creeks that flow into beaver ponds, lakes and streams. I sometimes see Common or Wilson's Snipe on my backcountry ski trips and have guided hundreds of people to see them. Snipe are a legal game bird in Colorado but few people hunt them successfully because of the bird's tactical camo coloration.

So, here's some more tracks for you to identify. Tell us why they are what you think they are. Hint: these are not squirrel tracks, and no fair looking at the file names.












And these, actually three different mammal tracks in this photo of snow over the river in front of the cabin:

Larger fore paws and smaller hind. You should probably be able to see some claw marks in them. The way it hops is telling me it is a squirrel.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm not thinking cat.

You know you're going to have to get a pic of whatever it is now, right? You're charged with getting all P.I. to find the answer.

christ...its obviously manbearpig. I'm super serial.

[zteknik]

Definitely not train tracks-not spaced far enough...

[Hummer]

Those tracks are from a Red Squirrel, which in Colorado is gray in color. Also called chickaree, pine squirrel, or yousonofabitch.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I was gonna go with Bobcat/Cougar...and Bear. But why the hell aint the bear sleeping in his hole right now?
