Tracks found near the beginning of the northern Imp trail. 2-1/2 to 3" long.
That was my thought, too. Canine if claws are visible. I can't see it clear enough, but fisher, martin and mink look like that but have 5 toes.Waumbek said:. They don't look feline. Toe pads are too long. I'd guess canine--dog, fox, coyote?
I still think it's a fisher, or something in that family. I think this is an example of what NH Mtn Hiker referred to with not being able to see the 5th pinky toe.poison ivy said:Here is another picture if it helps at all:

The trail was pretty open... not much brush (visible in the snow at least) in that area at all. The tracks went up the trail a bit then wandered over into the woods, later recrossing the trail and heading toward the brook. There were shrew tracks also in that general vicinity.

Nice ! Care to host a VFTT gathering ?C.Tracy said:I own 430 acres of woodland and lease another 500 acres where I live. Roaming around the High Peaks area is a nice change of scenery and I must admit you meet some really nice people.
