Howdy from Montana. Good info, especially for all the city folk moving to the mountains these days. I've watched a few of your vids lately but that straight edge made me subscribe, hopefully you put it to better use than just a straight edge though.
Thanks so much this was very helpful. I saw in the new snow at my back door tracks that I just knew were not dog. I checked out all your description points and they all checked out. one thing I wondered about. I measured the distance between tracks to be 2 feet. I would assume this is the stride. I wondered if this is common measurement. Really enjoyed the video.
Just found your channel, really like it. I'm a new hunter, started late, I'm mid 50s. I enjoy the bigger hunting channels, but your videos seem more real, not as polished, is a good quality in my opinion. Hope you continue making videos.
@CliffGray is their a way to tell without having bottom part of track? I see coyote daily. Have small bobcats. But found a track I think is mountain lion but bottom part of print melted just top toes. Had other things made me think mountain lion
One thing to note, my outdoor lab team showed me. All felines step forward toe first. For stealth and for stalking reasons(Maybe bone structure etc). Ive actually interpreted this in the field with great results. This technique helps me especially when stalking elk. Bow hunter for life.
@@CliffGray love your videos bro, I was wondering if you could do a video on how elk & deer actually communicate with each other. What calls to use and when to use them. Im an archery hunter only so any information is knowledge.
Hey man I’m going on my first elk hunt in Colorado unit 78 focusing on Navajo peak trail, I’ve grown up riding horses so we will be packing in and getting as high as possible. Was just curious if you had time maybe you could look at the topography and give me some pointers on some of the best spots just by looking at the map.
Greetings Cliff, thanks for this video. Can I use some of your video to use in a video on my channel? It’s a small non-commercial channel. Found these prints on my walk the other day. Do you know what might have caused them? I thought wolf at first, but after watching your video suspect they might be mountain lion or lynx. I live in rural central British Columbia. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/KNTMx1EJ7NQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TPO9h6qaNuqGcqOh
yeah, no problem. your track is a lion track. could be lynx but id need to be looking at something for size comparison. in soft snow, lynx also have more fur vs the pads relative to a lion. hope that helps
@ Thanks for the quick response. I will definitely give credit and link your video when I post mine. We see Lynx on our property two or three times a year and Mountain Lions sightings have been seen in our area. I do have one clip where I show how far apart the strides are of the prints I just showed you, it’s almost 3 feet between pad marks (longer than my strides). Suspect that could still be a Lynx? Doesn’t really matter, it’s just fun knowing these beautiful animals are around.
@@Jotipalo yes could be lynx or smaller lions. the stride length on smaller female lions can be 30-40". Bigger male lions are usually 40"+. Awesome you have them up there!

That pocket Constitution with Declaration of Independence tells me all I need to know @Cliff

Great explanation thank you! Will it pass thru? Seems to be very territorial leaving scratches little to close to house for my liking!?

@@DenverDave303 I’ll work on some calling videos. Thanks
I know zip about lion tracks (but i do know about wolf, moose, deer, lynx) and was wondering if that drag might be the tail. Thanks for the video.
Could be, they kind of bounce on lions.

Well done.👍 Now let’s follow those cat tracks and put my 30-30 to work.
👍💯
Well, you failed to show the coyote and dog tracks, which is what I clicked to see. Thanks. 🙄
