Can anyone identify this print for me?

[CBR1000rr]

I live in Wayne County Indiana.
7 miles north of Richmond.
Photo was taken 1.4.19

The print:

Appears to have 5 toes with claws.
Measures right at 4.5 inches wide.
Found in front yard approx. 20 - 25 yds from my front door in an area deer have been traveling through my property.


The area also happens to be where my little shih-tzu does his #2 business. Lately he has been so distracted by the scents in the area that it takes him forever to handle business. He's also been making that area like crazy.

I have an idea but I am far from an expert and any input from me would be baseless speculation. As such, I am here hoping someone could give me some insight. I plan on getting a trail cam today or tomorrow.

I don't think I've ever seen a track that is more unintelligible, and I do this for a living. Something more defined would be helpful. Any more pics of better tracks available?

Almost looks like 2 prints kinda smooshed together. How long is it front to back?

Looks like a Chupacabra track.

I'm with you on this. It looks rain washed.

Unfortunately, no, i do not have a better photo.
I found a few more in the yard but the were even worse.
This was really the only soft spot to leave a print.
It was about 3.5 inches front to back.
I'll keep an eye out over the next few days.
Plan on picking up a trail cam tomorrow to catch it in the act.

Kinda what I thinking, doogie doo that got stepped on a couple of times then a little rain on top of it. Any neighbors with large dogs?

Or, it might be what Indiucky suggested!
