Coyote leaping through snow.
Notice the same tightrope-walker pattern as a bigfoot trackway. It's easy to confuse this type of trackway for a bigfoot trackway if you're seeing it from a distance through binoculars. On closer inspection you can see the horns, and the uneven botton of the track. Compare the bigfoot track, below.
Bigfoot track from Blue Mountains, Washington.
Notice how much flatter the crater is compared to the coyote track. Notice the broken ice and indications of heavy pressure. Notice also more of a toe-line than horns. |

Coyote leaping through powdery snow.
Notice the two vague "horns" at the front of the track. The horns are made by the two front legs landing in the snow. Notice also the uneven depth of the impression.
Smaller coyote leaping in powery snow.
The "horns" are more pronounced here. Any four-legged animal leaping through snow will make horned impressions like these. If you can see horns like this through binoculars, then you can safely dismiss the trackway as some type of four-legged animal -- not what you're looking for.
Rabbit hops through snow.
Here the "horns" look more like eyes. You get the idea. The parallel indentations are made by legs.
