Help needed in identifying some tracks by my coop

[welly]

Unless someone has done a good amount of actually hunting or trapping and actually weighing them for yourself it is hard to get an idea of their weight, seeing them at a distance and estimating weight can be hard even for experienced hunters and trappers. I know I've never been good at it.

Op is in northern Wisconsin, so am I and I've done a fair amount of hunting them, the biggest of males COULD make 50 lbs but not going to be anywhere near common, you have to figure a very large portion of the population is juveniles and females that aren't going to be that large. A coyote over 40 lbs is a good coyote here and their tracks in not going to be that big, I find many people don't realize how small coyote actually are it can often be hard to tell the difference between a coyote and fox track, that's how small a track a small to medium sized coyote can make. Many people hunt the coyote with hound dogs, the dogs weigh on average 50 to 65 lbs and they dwarf coyotes pretty easily.

I agree 100%
