In 1991 in Florida, My family found a track of footprints on our hunting property. We were able to follow it for over a mile. We casted two prints (a right & left.) We followed the track and found a place where it had gone through a barb wire fence, taking out 5 or 6 posts, and what appeared to be a place where it slept. We even found swamp cabbage that was eaten and appeared to be discarded. It crossed the creeks on the west side next to the foot bridges – not using them.

Very good topic concerning the feet thank you Wes.

I’ve often wondered if their tracks follow a consistent pattern. If you hunt, you know some critters tend to move in large circles. I’d like to know if the tracks typically point strait toward an objective, or move in circlels or loops.

I wonder if the four toes is caused by inbreeding, you hear a lot about four toed tracks

Yeah, genetic issues caused by inbreeding is my guess. Toe number problems is an early sign of a diminished gene pool. Worrisome.

Interbreeding. Different sub species. Don’t know. But it is interesting set of prints. Looks like it was just passing thru.

Nicely done! Thanks!

Good job man.

Someone did a pretty good tracking job if they were able to follow it for a mile in the bush.

I’m not sure about those casts. Normally, in the course of walking, the prints are altered based on which part of the foot/hoof is taking the most weight, so the toes and balls of the feet of a human would sink in deeper than the heel and the mid-foot. This distorts the print, and should do so to the cast, as well. These two look quite flat and uniform.
