Track experts: possible slob or not ? Thoughts ?

Found this track last sunday. I thought it was a small moose possibly, but the stride was not very long. It’s also in the mud, so there could be a sliding factor. Track looked fresh and was on a pounded deer trail. The boot is size 7. My hand is about four inches wide at the joints.

I wanted to show someone else to verify my assumptions. I know judging tracks can be very tricky. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention it looked way bigger in resl life. It looks smaller on photo to be honest.

Too muddy to tell

That last photo was best. But still not enough to really assume anything. Maybe one day soon you will cross paths with that deer.

Hard to say if its a moose calf or a buck... Need more evidence.

I would say no - iv been fooled quite a few times bc of a muddy track. They look bigger and can splay wider

I would check the area on a different day

Season is over here. We pull the card of our cameras. It’s possibly this deer, not real slob fest of a buck, but a good one.

Forgot to mention it’s only a few hundred feet from where we saw the track this summer.
