It's 7' foot on the back side and 4' around the other 3....

I noticed the claw mark missing on the footprint, I know my dogs nails arn't that long but she always leaves a mark with the claw.

You need one of those cool camera's that Beefy has............

Track looks like a cat to me as well. It is rounder than the typical canine--though gray fox are accomplished climbers. Canines typically dig into the soil and bury. Cats seem to more often than not just pull ground litter over the carcass.

My bad sorry, I am getting too tired, not paying close enough attention.

I would get some cameras, if possible.

its either a bobcat or a fox. i'm leaning toward bobcat b/c it covered up the kill. and the print looks like a bobcat, but gray fox has a similar looking print and dont alwyas leaves claw marks. adn they can climb. i think bobcat tho.

a fox will usually just stash it away and come back for it pretty soon. a cat will actually cover it up.

I'd say canine... possibly red fox but I'm leaning towards the rear foot of a dog. Dogs don't always leave claw marks. Here's a good site with lots of prints to compare.

Please Let Us Know What You Find.
I'm Going To Say A Cat Of Some Kind Too. A Think Even A Domestic Dog Wouldn't Leave Its Kill Right There. And No Dogs Don't Always Leave Claw Marks But It Looks Like A Feline Of Some Kind, Especially The Other Evidence.
