Over there it could be one of those wolf crosses that got loose in Stoneham a few years ago. If the track is as big as your hand, not counting the fingers it's one of those wolves. There are at least two of these wolf "kennels" in Maine. There was a feature piece on one in the Maine Sunday Telegram about a month ago.

Possibly.... but the front paws are too close together and far smaller than the rear feet indicating a rabbitt or a hare. We saw a snowshoe hare last year that looked like a miniature kangaroo. A hunting party put it out of an alder patch where we were camping on the ST John and if that rabbit wasn't 24 inches tall it wasn't an inch. We all about crapped our pants when we saw it. Very big hare. I guarantee it's feet were as big as the OP described.

He would be some good eats in a stew with carrots, potato, onion, celery; and I think some mint.
I know it's just me, but I won't eat anything I can't dress out without wearing pair of rubber gloves. The whole Rabbit Fever thing has kept me from eating one of the things for the last 40 years. I know people do, but I don't anymore.
I think it has been over 40 years since there was a case of tularemia in the USA. Eat snowshoe hare to your heart's content.
As to the tracks, the photo is definitely a snowshoe hare. The other post mentioned a large canine track. That's when I mentioned the Stoneham wolves. As an aside, there isn't much left of Stoneham outside of the White Mountain National Forest. The feds are not using it. We would like it back.
