Help IDing Print

[Sniperdoc]

I need help identifying this print. It's not a joke.

 

[2 shots]

opossum or chupacabra ?

Size reference? Location? Are there more? If so, spacing between them?

Honestly doesn't look like a foot/hoof track...

Okay. Are there more and how far apart? Rough geographic location?

Didn't see any more, West TN near TN River, close to White Oak Wildlife Area. The print is in a box on the porch, lots of human and dog prints on the surrounding area. My wife and I are the only people living here, rural area.
The fingers aren't tapered, no nail prints, and the paw to finger ratio seems very small

A large bird, possibly an owl landed and that's the imprint from it's tail feathers... ? Was it a paw or just an indent? No photo of it in-place before you pulled it out? Wild guess on the bird thing and likely not that. With only one example it is now into conspiracy space.

I have seen some primary wing feathers do similar but not deep like that.
Happen to have any monkeys In Tennessee?

Just an indent. They are approx 1/2-1" deep, rounded like a finger

No wild monkeys, but who knows what lives in the Wildlife Area, because it's huge, and a lot of it is almost impossible to access due to terrain (swamps, creeks, etc)
A couple of years ago, I found a bear turd in our yard, and there are cougars, bobcats, otters, minks, and a ton of snakes

I strongly lean towards a bird. Being I see one snow fall a year, I’m far from an expert.
Typically you see both sides, plus the tracks of what it caught. Maybe it came down, wasn’t what it thought and banked out digging just the first few primaries in.

Any turkeys in your area? We often get similar (but bigger) impressions in our garage roof's snow when turkeys fly off the driveway and don't clear the top of the roofline.
