I don't know much about the smaller mammals. but its definitely not coon. Maybe a small cal. Since the ground is frozen, It means it is winter. That rules out a baby bobcat. Its not a canine with that pad. I don't think mink. The toes don't look spread out enough. Where was this picture taken?

It really could be several things..., mink, weasel, squirrel, baby critter of some sort. No telling I guess!

my three guesses not knowing what part of Ga you are in, but I do believe you are Northern zone, not to far from me I will say small fox, weasel or feral cat

if its a housecat it better step to cause it's deep in coyote controlled territory.

My guess is a mink. Plus, they tend to be nosy anyway.

Baby-sat a friends 8 month old bobcat while he was deployed. Its paws were more than double that size. Kinda like looking at the paws of a pup, most of the time they are oversized.

I still say domestic cat and recommend immediate eradication. They cause more damage to the local wildlife than any other predator that I am aware of. They are especially hard on song birds but also do a number on rabbits and other small mammals. If I find them in a rural setting and am reasonably sure they are feral, I take them out. Heck, if I can't see their home, they are in my territory. About the only thing coyotes are good for in my opinion.

Yep, not much worse than a feral cat population. That's a lot of disease too!
