Of course JMO, but this is what I generally go by. Measured in inches, if the pad is 2 1/8 - 2 1/4 wide, its ok, if its 2 1/4 plus its big, and if its 2 1/2 plus, its huge. Also, I am sure based on locale sizes could differ a bit. | |||

Have a look at this leopard taken in TZ. Id say his track would have looked like a lioness. I have never kept exact mesurement and have always gone on sight but, Depending on country and area generally anything smaller than 3 1/2 inches on the front foot bottom of pad to front of toes is small, above this maybe worth a look, 4 inches and above big! Remember sand will spread the toes and will make the track look bigger however you measure. http://www.tanzaniaquest.com/a...2Fnatron%2F&var3=108 | |||

+2 Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

So 2 1/4" wide and 4" long is a good one ? How big of a spoor can a female make ? How big must it be to exclude the spoor as a female ? | |||
|
| One of Us |
A.Dahlgren It really depends on the area! but I doubt a female will reach 4" long (bottom to top include toes) anywhere. | |||

Im looking into a leopard hunt and its always nice to be a bit "educated". I have been to Zimbabwe and Namibia and hunted spots and seen tracks of females and males in both countries. In both countries we found tracks of a female and a male was walking together, it s not easiest to see in the soft sand. Next time i will take a measuring tape. Thanks again | |||
