We went hiking today up Albany Mountain in Albany, ME (south of Bethel) and we saw these tracks. Can someone please identify them? The round part at the top was the size of a balled fist. They were very large! I've looked at prints of various large mammals common to Maine and nothing seems to resemble this picture. These tracks are about a day old at oldest, and several hours old at the newest.
Judging from your photo it was moving from the top-left of the shot to the bottom-right. The front feet (small) are held close together, are extended forward and touch down. The rear feet (larger) are brought forward and straddle the fore feet. They extend beyond the fore feet and touch down.
He would be some good eats in a stew with carrots, potato, onion, celery; and I think some mint.
