I would be interested in any opinions on this track about 30 yards away from the camp cabin. It was bigger than my palm. Could really use hunter opinions! Thanks in advance!

It looks very similar to the paw print of a Fisher. A Fisher is a member of the weasle family. They are carnivorous, but will sometimes include fruits and nuts in their diet. Extremely aggressive. They can weigh between 10 and 20 lbs. with the male reaching the greater weight. I do not know what region you are from, but if it is a paw print of a fisher, take care of and livestock you may have, espically chickens! good luck
Fisher prints are supposed to be 2 1/2 inches wide. This track was easily 4 inches wide, and I am in Oklahoma. They are endemic to the north.
It is hard to tell from the picture but it looks like a bear print.
I was thinking it IS the size of a bear track, but the number of toes is wrong, and they are not straight across like a bear. It was a VERY large track!
Yeah. It is hard to tell from the pictures. Do you have bobcats or alligators in the area you are at? Maybe look at all the different prints of large game in your area and try to deduce what it could be.
Bobcats, yes! However cats usually don't walk with their nails out. Alligators? Unlikely, but since they found one in Kansas( a neighboring state), you never know! A little far from the water for an Alligator though... Our stream is down the hill about 700 yards, or so...
Yeah that is true about the bobcats. Do you have large snapping turtles there? I am just guessing at this point! :)
