Wolf or a big dog. The curve on the outer prints suggest wolf. Seen the tracks a million times in the UP.

What kind of dogs do your neighbors have? Could be a good size Huskie.

Dave, I suspect it is injured, looks like it was dragging a leg in the snow. Got up here and my dogs went nuts sniffing all around and trying to follow tracks. The neighbors a few doors over have a med.size lab that is nowhere big enough to make a print that size. My dogs front paws fit in the middle pad with tons of room. Could there be a wolf in the Irons area?? No other dogs anywhere around the lake but mine and the lab. Pic was from yesterday with no new tracks today.

Hard to tell 100% with any melting but, I still say wolf. Not a Coyote for sure.

Maybe it's a mountain lion... Watch the branches above you! hahaha. It could be out to kill Bobcat killers!

Wolf, hands down,Chances are as you stated it's injured can't find/catch food on it's own so it's moving in close to people looking for a meal.I would keep an eye on the dogs and a firearm handy until this thing disappears.

While it could very well be a wolf, from a behavioral stand point, it would be pretty unusual for a wolf to hang around a cabin unless there was a good reason for it to do so. Cats? Coons? One would hang there if any one of a dozen different other animals would draw it to leave a bunch of tracks. Passing thru, alright, but to just hang around....I would say unlikely.

At thia time I have not seen any animal. Snow has melted so hard to see any new tracks. Hanging here till Friday and will keep an eye on it. I wonder if track did get larger as snow melt???? I suspect that does happen?
