I found this track up on a fire road in the Los Padres forest. Any ideas?

Ca What fire road in the Los Padres? I have seen a few sheep wondering around out there a few years ago near HWY166. Not sure if they are around but that track does look like a sheep.

Lower Los Padres near Ojai. I thought Sheep were more squared off than that.

Wrong stride for Chewbaca.

Thanks everyone. I think I am gonna just chalk this one up to weird.

I've heard that Cuyama sheep stuff. A cop pulled me over on the 101 a few years ago and gave me a ticket after holding me up for a half hour with all his wild game stories. I had a blacktail head on the seat that I was taking to the taxidermist and he got all excited and told me stories about Bighorn Sheep off of the 166 but told me not to tell anyone..haha..I thought he was full of sh##. To answer your question about the track..all I can think of is a brama bull.. What else could it be? That thing is huge..

Your right, it is a large track. Probably 4" across or more. It and a few others like were on the high side of the trail. It looked like whatever it was went down the side of the hill shortly after.

It's tough to be certain from a photo on rocky ground. I like the various possibilities that have been suggested...I even wanted to thrown out Windigo.

In reality, I think it's a llama. I have llamas and that is what I think I'm seeing.


Within the shadows, go quietly.
 
Don't think I've ever seen a llama track, but unless this moose, brahma, sheep, chupacabre is walking backwards, I think its the heel of a shoe.
 
>That looks alot like the track I saw up off pot seco>

That's funny. Pot Seco isn't very far from where this track was.

Its funny you should mention that. I was just looking at a copy of a wild boar print and it looks real similar. I have not heard of any wild boar up there, but that's not to say theyr'e not there.
