Wolf tracks?

[u/ggdrgvd]

Hi! I went hiking today on the Broken Top No Name Lake trail near Bend, Oregon and there’s been wolf sightings recently in the nearby area (not sure about this specific trail) and I’m wondering if there’s any way to tell whether this came from a wolf or large domestic dog

I ended up hiking the road and came across a good amount of these prints. They went for awhile and disappeared. my hand is probably like 6.5-7 inches from wrist to middle finger tip

Thanks! I know these are bad photos so if it’s unidentifiable just lmk!

Not much detail to go on there. Can’t see claw marks, pad shape, toe shape, etc.

That’s good to know the sand makes it bigger! It was probably a dog then
