Was doing some scouting on Sheffield this morning and found some tracks. They may be obvious, but I'm new to this. Thanks for the help.

Track 1:

Track 2:

Track 3: Are these even tracks?

Track 4: Not really a track, but is this the work of bushytails?

Little Pig track

I have seen, in an area with lots of wild hogs, some babby pigs, tracks, look just like that! They are a bit wider, and rounder than the fawn tracks.

I would say these are just born pig tracks, but if so, you will usually find lots, more of them. Usually there are 6 or 8 little pigs in the litter?

Maybe it a lost pigglet's track ?

I see a pig track in picture #1 and a deer track in picture #2. #3 not able to distinguish. I say this because the track in the first picture is rounded off at the toe. Pig tracks can be distinguished in that way.

1 and 2 could be either a fawn or young pig, would have to see them in context to say for sure. I'd say #3 is a turtle, or maybe a 'dillo, we don't have 'dillos up here, so I'm not farmiliar with their tracks. Looks like turtle tracks, though.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I was expecting them to be deer tracks, but if it's hog I'm gonna go back there and get me some young juicy pork :shoot:

And hopefully some squirrel too.

I just came from Paulding WMA! Man, did I have a heck of a time with all the spider webs in the forest. I literally was covered with them. Did you have the same luck over in Sheffield? Also, I came across a squirrel in paulding and got it, but its the only one that I saw the whole time I was out there.

Ya, there were lots of spider webs out there. I ran into a few of them until it started raining real hard. I think it washed most of them away.

And I was looking for squirrels too, but didn't see a single one. I must have covered a couple miles out there.The only wildlife that I saw was a glimpse of a bushy white tail jumping away.

#1-Fawn or piglet, can't really tell in the picture.
#2-Hog.
#3-Armadillo, you can see the tail drag marks in the middle of the tracks.
#4-Squirrels just getting seeds out of pine cones.
