I've done a lot of in the field track observation and this track is not distinct enough for me to say one way or the other.
The snow is clearly fresh fallen and claw marks may not show because of that nore does it show pad formation clearly enough to be sure of anything.

C’mon keg... you said in your post above that you’ve never seen a cougar track.
I’ve seen many, and had them on my tracks. And I’ve called them in by the way.
I didn’t learn the “x” trick on the net, I learned if from “someone else” another hunter and I’ve tested the idea lots of times, it’s a good general starting point before using all of the other clues that are there. It works.
