Raccoon Tracks?

[ColtHandorf]

Hello all,

I went for a little walk the other day and saw these tracks. I see opossums all the time, but have not seen a raccoon since we moved to this property. I know we have foxes, bobcats, and otters, so raccoons must be out there. Are these raccoon tracks, or?

They look more like opossum to me. Opossum have the shorter thumb and little finger them a raccoon. Raccoon hands looks like the fingers are the same length.

I believe racoons' hands are shorter than those pictures.

Racoon, front paws. Opossums are usually more splayed out and shorter.

Raccoon. Time to get some honeybuns and marshmallows. They work for good bait or yummy treats. Win win

I'm leaning towards a possum. If you have a game camera put it up and then you will probably find out. I love my cameras.
