Did you look at the trail he left and not just one track? Where do you think he was coming from? Where was he going? How far apart were his steps? how wide was the stagger left to right? Did you notice any distinct track features that would help you identify him later like a chip in a hoof or one toe longer than the other? Did he cross there before?
It's a dandy track for sure! He left you some info that might help you kill him. Did you take advantage of that info?

Well I can't say I'm surprised to see that response from you...

It's probably not all that big. It doesn't appear to have slid in the muck, just spread out. The toe tracks are no bigger than her thumb. unless she's got hands like Charles Barkley, it's an OK deer, maybe even a doe.

Nobody is trying to spoil your thrill of the find. Simply pointing out other possibilities.
