The scaling on this one was quite thorough as the lady was very helpful and open, the white sticks are put in place over the original picture then measured, have a picture of a lynx waiting to be scaled after the lockdown is lifted  as well, footprints are pretty good but even a cat can make a mark like a dog and vice versa

Yeah just meant of all the pics, kills etc a few print pics are the best I've personally seen

I think she needs to get a better camera.

Just not enough info in that pic to prove or disprove anything.

Its nowt to do with the woman

Without a scaling it’s hard and it’s also not enough pixels to enlarge it, but if I was pressed for an answer I’d go canine simply based on body length and height

It is mate and the footprint that looks pretty canine is a leopard in soft ground with its claws out,

These throat bites are also quite good as you can measure the distance between the holes and compare to the cats fangs, trouble is many people will claim that a dog has done it on a sheep or deer so finding a set on a wild bore kind of rules out any dog as even the biggest baddest pig dog would struggle to kill a boar with a single throat bite,

If that's a full grown boar it would take some cat to do it, even a Leopard would have it's hands full with an adult.
