What made these marks?

[Football Hunter]

Right beside a very active mineral lick,would guess the marks were about 11/2 inches apart.Perry co,so no bears,and doubt its a Lion Any thoughts?

Deer or turkey

Deer's hooves as the deer paw and turn up the soil looking for the highest salt content. My salt licks are covered in those type of deer paw marks.

My guess is deer but bears con travel thru. I found black bear remains in wayne co a couple of years ago.

Two paw marks overlapping, and the second "paw" happens to fall perfectly to produce three marks instead of four.

The pattern is ir regular but deer do this as they are trying to get the compacted soil up in an effort to eat dirt,salt and all....seen it many many times but this doesn't have a pattern of the deers hoof but I have seen it many times with clear clove marks.

I would say its definately deer.

It is possible that the deer closed its toes together to scrape the ground more efficiently.

Top picture, there is the beginnings of the fourth drag mark at the top.
Just above the "hole" you see in the picture.
