Help Identifying A Footprint

WOW! Now that's a rare picture, SimonKenton!

Very few people have ever seen a chupacarbra and lived to tell about it, much less get a picture of one.

:)

Thank you Daryl, thank you very much.

It wasn't easy.
I had the Polaroid in my right hand, and a Bowie Knife in the left.
I had a 12 pound Smithfield ham hanging from a pine tree branch, right here in North Carolina.
Had to stake out that ham for 3 nights before the Chupacabra appeared.

I thought, it was going to get down to me and my Bowie, for a minute, but at the last minute the Chupacabra veered off into the darkness.
I mean, he was hungry, but he wasn't stupid.
I got 2 other pics, but they were out of focus.
 
simonkenton, your flaw was in not using goat's milk as bait. Goat cheese will do in a pinch, but you have to mold it in form of an udder.

Other wise, a very cunning plan.
 
As to that track it is identical to my black labs print, his is probably a bit bigger (wieghs 105lbs and yes he is pure lab) and he has 5 claws as well, he still has the dew claws. He has to wear boots when we go bird hunting in the fields so he doesn't get it caught. His foot is about 5"x5", actually bigger than the whole palm of my hand.

Simon, your lucky I am not in your neck of the woods, cause me and Mr Cabra there would been fighting like hell for that Smithfield. Those are the best hams ever.
 
I was hoping for a bigfoot print (I really was), but I'm guessing dog and human shoe print.

Also perhaps the big foot print is older than the dog print hence why it's no longer as clear as the dog print?
 
you must understand,that the human like footprint I found on my family's water locked 30 or so acres in march,average mid 30's temp.My footprints were clearly boot prints with defined treads,I am almost the only one that ever goes down there,and it was a flat non treaded print with toes that I could see clearly,but not so clearly in the photo.
 
If you see these tracks again and want to know what it is... Get enough people to visually cover all escape routes and I will put 3 bulldogs on the ground... It is either gonna escape or get caught.:D

My guess is that it's not a human footprint. Looks more to me like a scrape, where the dog/? was pawing the ground.

As to the canine print, another possibility might be a gray wolf. Note the size of the track as compared to the one in your photo.
 
My 90-lb German shepherd's tracks are larger than those pictured.

I'm thinking dog in the 50- to 60-lb range. Or a dog that would be that weight if it wasn't overfed.

I think Scott's right.

They look just like one of my airedale's tracks. He weighs right about 55 lbs.

Looks like a drag mark to me... 4-legged creature moving left to right with something in it's mouth maybe? That or I agree with Capt. Charlie.
 
If it is a sasquatch, and my bulldogs catch him.. we can split the first monies from appearences and selling the initial footage of the live beast tied up...
BUT I get the beast to bring home and start the "Ye Ol' Hogdogs Bar and Bigfoot emporium".... Aspirations of wealth you see...:D

We dont get to exited about bigfoot traks around here in the pac nw
but a wolf track would atract some attention around here.

The OP lists his location as Sanford, Michigan. At present, Michigan has over 500 wolves with the population growing (see my gray wolf link in my post below). Given the large hunting range of gray wolves, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see wolves in any rural area of central or northern MI.
 
Iv'e never seen a wolf around here.But I don't think iv'e ever seen a coyote either,but I can hear hundreds at night,so maybe.
 
Probably one of these. About four years ago in Missaukee Co. a bunny hugger was razing high breed wolfs. She would raze them to the age of two and then distribute them in the larger swamps around the middle of the State. She released dozens of them as this went for years. If memory serves they had to lock her up to stop her. I have not herd of any reports of them in a couple years thought we had them shot off as they are considered a invasive species & all that is need is a hunting licenses + hunt year around. These
Dogs are wild in every cents of the word and should be treated as such .

The one in the photo was taken by a good friend in Roscommon Co.
