He took a picture of the clearest track he could find. He said the track was as big as his hand. What's your best guess? https://i.postimg.cc/GpSWTdFc/25591.jpg Fall seven times, stand up eight.

It is a cat of some sort and if this is in New York, would almost have to be a bobcat unless some lynx are found there. The claw marks, if that is what they even are, may just be from oddball and deeper snow conditions pushing further up onto the foot, where the retracted claws are.
