I'm no track expert but this was middle of the woods.....wouldn't expect a house cat to be that far from homes.....and they were much bigger than house cat paws.....these were big.Hard to tell from the picture as there is no reference for scale. ”Looks“ like cat to me but it all comes down to size 1-1/2” to 2” bobcat. Smaller is house cat to me. There won’t be any young bobcat this time of year.

Found lots of rabbit tracks.....no rabbits. Without a beagle it's alot of luck. Kinda like hitting the lottery lol. But it's nice to take the shotgun for a walk.I have seen house cats a long way from homes. They can wander a long ways. That’s why it comes down to size for me. 1.5”-2” is bobcat for sure as there aren’t any kits this time of year.
Good on you for getting out. The snow cover has been great for seeing what’s out there, post season.
Saw these about a week ago. What do they appear to be? I forgot to put something there for scale.
Thanks but each print was probably at least an inch long.Without having any idea on size I will say that they look small and it is probably a mouse, or vole, or something along those lines.
Looks like raccoon yes?Thanks but each print was probably at least an inch long.

Likely. This time of year they get somewhat bear like, metabolism slows down and their food needs go way down and movement as well to keep from using energy.Got deer behind my house but nothing on cameras out in the woods. The cameras haven't shown any activity for the past 3 weeks. Yarding?
