    Default Are these hog tracks?
    I'm pretty sure they are. Our neighbor said he has been seeing a 300 pound plus wild boar, but we have yet to see it. Well we put out some corn, and a few days later the ground was destryed and there are big tracks like this all over the place. It is leaving big tracks like this all over. its not a running deer either, because these are everywhere. Just like walking in circles and stuff. Let me know what you think.

    Default Could be . . .
    They certainly could be. Do you have (or know anyone who has) a game camera? That's the surest way to figure out what's in the neighborhood.

    300 Lbs. would be a very large boar in the wild, but not unheard of. Of course, until you've seem some up close and hefted them or put them on a scale, it can be difficult to accurately gauge their true size.

    The points on pig tracks do not splay out like these. Plus, you will see the "dew claws" when a hog walks through very soft & muddy soil.

    If those are deer tracks, that's an awfully big deer!

    There were other deer tracks around, and they weren't near this size. The deer tracks seemed to have skinnier, and longer front hoof prints. the overall size of this track is huge. We took a trail camera up, and put it where we seen the tracks. there haven't been any fresh tracks that we can tell, but our once field looks like someone ran a rototiller across it. Thats why I thnk these are hog tracks.

    I am pretty sure it is a deer. The stride of a hog is very short and in the pics the tracks are very spread out. Plus the track is too pointy to be a hog. Thats just my .02

    Looks a bit like a domesticpig track to me, there awful big but the dew claws are realclose to the hoof, i believe its a big domestic hog.

    the middle one says hog to me, because of the round edges. A longer stride and splayed out hoof points could mean a running hog.
