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

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
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)

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.

Yes, we do have turkeys

This is kind of what I was starting to think

Tough to tell then. I'm also thinking some kind of bird... but,,,, really not convinced.
Any kids in the area that could be screwing around?
I'd set up some trail cams in the area and see what comes up on them
Turkeys only have three leading toes.

I think people's theory is that the marks were made by the tips of the primary feathers
rougarou? or something stuck there blowing in the wind that later blew away
