Looks like the first one is the front foot of a grinner and the second one is the back foot. Coon and possum are about the only two with elongated pads like that.

Hard to tell tracks from a pic in that surface but my first thought was a cat. That's a nice little 1965 quarter! Dogs toes point more forward but track i.d. is easy when you are there but harder than heck if you ain't and only have a pic! Did you get on all fours and take a whif of the critters scent. If so, did it smell catty, doggy or coony. Haha! They have distinct odors that are difficult to confuse. |

I guess I am not like most trappers. I never set on sign. I set on habitat. Sorta like the movie, Field of Dreams, if you build it, they will come. Well, with trapping, I always looks for a nice place that furbearers would like to go and set there. Rarely see a track here in the rocky ole ozarks but catch a lot of embarrassed yotes, reds, greys, kitty cats and raccons, and of course possums and skunks, but they are confused how I caught them since they did not leave any tracks!
Now, when I trapped Iowa as a youngin, it was all about sign, but that is totally different as far as I am concerned.
But, I still caught a lot of mink, coons and various other critters at field tile sets. Every critter had to check out the field tile that had water dripping out.
I know it sounds crazy but this is true. If not for the field tile sets, I would never been able to go to college and get a degree so I could teach kids about how to care about our world! Glad those tile sets worked out!

Those tiles are a magnet about anywhere they accurr.They become espesially attractive to mink during freezing weather.The ground water doesn't easily freeze,giving them a great place to find food.Equally attractive to rats.

The first one looks a lot like a fox track to me don't think it is a grinner because I only see four toes.
