Track ID

[memphismason]

Guys, I have been hunting for about 18 years, and I have no idea what this is. I first looked at it and said "that is a turkey track"....then I did a double take and said "one hell of a turkey".

Maybe someone's emu got loose, cause if that is a turkey track then I am definitely going to turkey hunt this spot. lol

how many tracks did you find, just that one.

Kinda looks like an emu print.

Size: 3.5 to 4.5 inches long

3.75 to 4.25 inches wide

This is a turkey print.

No many, about 20 to 30 crossing the road. This was just the best one in the sandy ground that makes up this freshly made logging road. (My grandfather sold the timber this past summer)

I would doubt a fake, lol. This was in the middle of a 70 acre track of land that is land locked by 100 to 1000s of acres of good woods in Saulsbury, TN.

This is a turkey print.

Do you think it fit this size chart.

If you look closely you can see the ball print part on yours and in the picture it shows a ball print on the back part of the track. Could be a turkey, maybe a farm raised they tend to have bigger feet.

I thought that too, but I at least thought I should ask the hunters here, as it is a neat story that I found an emu tracks, LOL.

yes sir I see that. Guess someone's emu got loose. I guess it would be wrong to shoot it while hunting, huh?

[memphismason]

I also found some nice sheds today. Both about 20 feet apart. I will take a pic and post in a separate thread.

How do guinea fowl feet compare to turkey feet? Could be some guineas that got loose.
