I have always considered myself a darn good track and sign reader with over sixty some years of trapping behind me, but this one has me stumped. These tracks showed up around a drying up puddle at a field access road next to a corn field I've been trapping nuisance coon. There are deer,coyote, coon,possum, skunk, and squirrel tracks evident in the damp dirt. Each drag mark shows only 4 claw marks and they appear to be going backwards for 2 or 3 feet. They were scattered around a 15 or 20 foot area. My Leatherman tool is used for size reference. I asked the farmer if he has seen any UFO's lately.

My guess is kickbacks made by a fox

Turtle ?

Maybe something dragging a turtle against its will.

Bobcat- trying to shed the outside layer of those claws
