That’s not a bobcat track , looks more like a coyote track to me. Here’s some bobcat tracks for comparison.                 7E9F0005-9D76-41F2-B2E2-52260673C567.thumb.png.ab9a7ba88bdfee54c2576c4d888e0a26.png

Those look a lot different then what I posted.  Pic you posted has 4 toes. My pic looks like thers only 3?  I know  cats won't show claw marks, and since I didn't see any I automatically though bobcat.  

Thanks for the clarification. Is it common for coyote for the back paw to step in the front?   The walking tracks(didn't take a pic) look like one paw in front of the other, almost like a two legged critter, lol.

This article can explain it better than I ever could. Here’s a photo of a 5 toed bobcat I came across and a photo I took where a coyote slipped on the ice. Your correct about bobcats not showing claw marks in their tracks and coyotes usually have the 2 middle toes showing claws.726709B1-6D29-4A48-BF36-3B1DB14B5C0F.thumb.png.804dc7309b282a6928702d4e01cf2e00.pngEBDACD70-0DB0-45EB-A657-CBB038145552.thumb.png.44d0522b3042c03130d274725adc5bb1.png7342B530-ACA1-4240-AC88-E5BBF812F2DD.thumb.png.d99d9b564ed6cd985458f3f33d55a262.png
