anyone care to help with this track? at first glance i thought big cat, but surely thats not the case around here. it doesnt look quite like a dog track, but there are a few that run around. thats a quarter i placed in the footpad for size reference

it's a canine track, no doubt. big track too if thats a quarter. i was gonna say possibly big ass wolf at first, depending on where you live, but now i'm thinking it's a huge dog.

Mud makes for what appears to be a "bigger" animal, than it really is.

i kinda figured, we have a rhodesian ridgeback hound and a few basset hounds that run around and i assumed it was them, the pads just seemed awfully round for a dog so i thought i would question, but i'll take your guys word for it.

btw, i live in clarksville, tn. there have been some mountain lion sightings down about an hour south, but its been a few years which was the biggest reason i questioned these. thanks for the help

here are my reference pics, kinda thought it could be a couple thing, in the back of my mind i was hoping it was something more exciting than a dog! lol

Canine tracks show claw marks. Felines walk with their claws retracted and therefore there are no claw marks.

What ever it is, it's still big.
Better be watching your back.
