What animal made this paw print?

I know it’s off topic, but still important. Shouldn’t be any wild dogs around here. Wouldn’t think the coyotes would get this close neither.

Any possibility of bobcats in the area ? Track to me is not real well defined, but does not look like a canid track.

The dog print one is a coyote, but the small track on 1st picture is a coon, if you don’t want coins, they have dog proof traps that you can use to catch coons

And i have had coyotes come right up next to our house

the "handprint" is raccoon I suspect- the other I assumed was domestic dog- til I checked this: https://survivalmagazine.org/outdoor-survival/hunting/dog-track-coyote-tracks/ coyotes digits are awful close together. We have sooo many of them here in AZ. I was unaware the deep South had many of them. Good to know. Be awful careful around raccoons. 100% of wild raccoons trapped & tested by researchers in US in a study few yrs ago gave positive for a terrible parasite "Bayliascaris" that is incurable. At best, lifetime of severe mental retardation if survival at all- or death.

We’ve had them get close but I figured we’ve always

Hmm.. that doesn’t sound nice. Looks like it’s time to hunt some coons.
