    Please tell me this isn't a wolf



    This is in the Westwold area and I have never even seen a wolf here. This was wayyy to far in the bush to be a domestic dog. Track is about 5-5.5 inches long, and I really hope I don't have to worry about wolves getting close to our calves. Any input appreciated

    Unless you have reason to suspect otherwise I would say wolf.

    Wolf is a canine.

    This is Chihuahua and you have tiny hands.

    Gosh that must be a big dog/wolf to have a footprint the size of a bull Elk.

    It appears to be a wolf track to me compared to this wolf track next to a 222 cartridge for comparison. Click on picture to enlarge it.

    I have personally witnessed numerous wolves in that area in the last 2-3 years. How you haven’t and raise cattle there blows me away. Yes you have to worry about your calves. Yes that’s a big dog.

    A work colleague of mine showed me a picture of paw prints that she took in her back yard, she lives in N van at the base of Frome Mountain in the snow. Very large. Also showed the pics to the local CO who had a funny response and said, unless you have a neighbor who has a Tibetan mastiff that they let run in the neighborhood late at night that you don't know about, it's a wolf. Probably came down to hunt domestic animals.

    Looks like a wolf track or a large dog.
