Title: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 20, 2010, 10:59:15 pm out hunting today and ran up to a nice hog wallow, to find the craziest tracks i have ever seen. they go straight out of the wallow into the thickest woods that you cant even crawl to get into. the tracks go about a 100 feet from hole to brush. left to right track is almost 4 feet apart. this pic does not do the track justice but it is 11 inches long from top to bottom of back 2 and every track to brush looks identical. may not even be a hog but if it is, move over hogzilla that hog would be a giant. so we set up a game cam there today to see if we could see what it was. ;)

Title: Re: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 20, 2010, 11:09:19 pm it does look like that in that pic, i just took that pic off that phone and it looks alot more sqeezed in, but just by the placement of the other tracks you could tell a deer legs could not walk that far apart i need to get some better pics of it more than one track in the pic i mean they are all identical looking tracks not a difference in any track all the way to the brush
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: Peachcreek on April 21, 2010, 12:06:16 am looks like a old deer track with a newer one on top to me? or maybe sasquach ???
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: Cajunjag on April 21, 2010, 07:24:39 am Any chance of an escape from a high fence in the area? Kudu, Elk, or other crazy exotic on the loose? What ever it is, shoot it......then go cook some rice!
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 21, 2010, 07:30:53 am Not a high fence within a 50 miles of this place, I'll be happy with whatever it is lol
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: make-em-squeel on April 21, 2010, 12:29:33 pm I knew we would get proof of big foot ;D keep us updated on the game cam etc thats interesting, if it were from 2 animials etc you wouldnt think it would be the same one all the way to the brush. keep us up to date!
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: bignasty on April 21, 2010, 12:41:40 pm 2 deer or same deer in and out
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: HIGHWATER KENNELS on April 21, 2010, 07:37:30 pm It might be a half hog and half deer.. Hog head in the front with half a deer in the back,,,, that would explain why my dogs are always gettin outrunn by these da**n things
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: brw7979 on April 21, 2010, 09:02:21 pm My huntin partner can track just about any critter, and he says its either a red deer or elk. He's come up on a wallow before with tracks like it and it was red deer and elk using the mud hole and then headin to thick brush.
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 21, 2010, 09:52:00 pm Never seen a red deer or elk here so that would be pretty cool. I just thought it was cool seein a track like that. I like the half deer half hog one I'm from Oklahoma so I could see it happening lol
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: Peachcreek on April 21, 2010, 11:04:00 pm A red deer? where was this picture taken?
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 22, 2010, 06:51:05 am Se Oklahoma by durant I know we don't have red deer cause I have never even heard of one
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: elliscountyhog on April 22, 2010, 08:15:42 am Tyler did you forget which direction you walked, i knew sasquash was real ;D
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: hogdoggintn on April 22, 2010, 12:43:58 pm Hope you get a good game cam pic. I would like to know what it was.
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: Ladogos on April 22, 2010, 02:52:28 pm Definately looks like 2 different tracks to me. Made at 2 seperat times. The reason i say this is because if you look closely at the top part of the track it looks fresher than the bottom part. The top part has the leaves and grass mashed down into the track and the bottom part of the track the grass is laying over the top of the track as if it was made sometime back and the grass then died and fell over the track. The top part of the track looks like a normal deer track . But without knowing the size it could possiably be a reed deer or elk . But the bottom definately was made before the top . JMO without seeing it in person .

Title: Re: mystery track Post by: gardner32 on April 22, 2010, 06:49:34 pm aint saw nothing on the cam. richard i thought you were up in my neck of the woods when i seen them tracks :D
Title: Re: mystery track Post by: Peachcreek on April 22, 2010, 10:43:17 pm Waznt trying to be a smart a$$ I just wondered where the pic was taken.. them exotics are migrating pretty far out or escaping from ranches. I have a friend down the road here in splendora tx. get a picture of 3 axis deer at his feeder last season. I personally would have been eating axis backstrap but he took pictures instead.
