Looks like a coon track.Otter toes are fatter for one thing.They are also webbed,so they don't usually show the lenghty type toe prints.

I'm pretty sure its not coon bc all of the tracks are similar size, coon hind feet are like babies feet.

2 inches wide wood be a heck of a coon.... I do agree with big john usually otters toes don't look that long...... Maybe it the snow making them look that way......

If the track itself isn't clear enough,you can tell by it's gait.If it's loping along like a mink,then it's defiently an otter.If it just looks like it's walking with the back foot in the front foot track,then it's most likely a coon.

Well I took a look at those tracks again I think that the snow was playing tricks on me. I looked at tracks I found the other day that I knew were coon now look just the same.
Bigjohn is right!

When snow is on the ground,sometimes the coon don't seem to put the heels of the back foot all the way down.After a while,you'll learn to discern what animal made tracks,just by the way the tracks are made in the snow.Next snow,go out and find some coyote or fox tracks and see how they kinda walk in a wavey line,opposed to dog tracks,that tend to walk in a straighter line.
