Default Cougar Track Query

Hey All,

Was out the weekend and seen some massive fresh cougar tracks-just wondering if there was anyway of estimating from the track/paw print size what the actual animal size would be??

Thanks in advance!

Yes of course with a little CSI

Length of stride would say a lot. Big tracks with little tracks, female with kittens.
