We have seen cougars in the area we live a couple times over the years. Are these cougar scratches ? If not what other animal would do this? They were in my yard close to our house. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-81479-80395-90dbc640_a3cf_4d82_9fbc_61ff061eedc8.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-81479-80396-8e81ce9a_abf2_4240_b7fd_4c94d9e15a5a.jpeg)

Not enough claws to be a cougar. Front feet have 5 claws and the back 4 plus a dew claw.
Looks like a dog or coyote to me.

Looks like bear claw marks. He is in Waco so this makes the most sense.

I’m probably way off base, but I think Armadillo. Those suckers can dig.
Keep looking forward. That’s why windshields are larger than rear view mirrors.
