Tracking lions vs foxes

[Physch]

Is there a different pattern for tracking a fox vs tracking a female lion? If you’re dry ground on a game trail with a lot of different tracks that goes to rocks without tracks how do you decide what the dogs are following?

I’ve read some info on the fox forum and a little here. Unless I’m missing something with male lions leave bread crumbs with scrapes and easier to decipher what they’re tracking.

If you absolutely have no tracks on the ground the only way you're going to be able to tell what they're chasing is with a good broke dog. With saying that if your trail leads up through the boulders there's a good chance it could be a fox. If it leaves the game trail goes over to the rock pile and then comes back to the game trail good percentage of the time that will be a lion or bobcat
