Google says yes, what say y'all? This is in a relatively densely populated suburb, nobody has ever reported any pig sightings. Coyotes, yes. Foxes, yes. Deer, everywhere. Nobody around here has ever seen a wild pig, yet here these tracks are in a neighborhood trail.

Looks like it. Dew claws on hogs splay out like that.

WHAT !!..
I love Pigs..well Hogs..
Tired of sitting in a climber all day..? Bust out the 30/30 or the Browing Auto 5 and do a little Stalking and creeping along the swamp edge.
It'll do you good..

As much fun as it is shooting them they just do too much damage. I’d happily get rid of all of ours.

I’m going not a hog, not rounded enough. Looks like a decent buck track.

I'm not a track expert by any means, but I've seen a million deer tracks, even on this very trail, and this one was not like any deer track I've ever seen. My pic doesn't have anything for scale, but this is like a large dog print, but cloven hooved.

100% sure that's just a deer track. (Actually I'm only 51% sure but go big or go home.)

Hog tracks are rounded on the tips, never have I seen a hog track pointed.

This looks like an everyday buck track that’s either trotting or running in soft dirt, that’s why we see the dew claw marks.

I may be totally wrong here but my gut is saying deer.

I think it’s a buck track.

In my experience, the larger the hog, the more rounded the track is. Given you said it’s a big track, I’d expect it to be much more rounded than that.

I’ve also never seen a hog track with the point marks behind it like you see with good bucks

Deer makes the most sense logically, there's a bunch of suburban deer around here. It would far and away be the largest deer track I've seen in my life and I've seen a million.

I live in South LA, so we don’t get the urban giants, but I’ve seen pictures of then around Jackson MS. It’s crazy how big some of them get just living in little pockets of woods around the city

Biggest deer I've ever seen was in the middle of Germantown (Memphis suburb) in the Wolf River Bottoms.

Just off a 7 lane road behind a Lowe's. It was 14 or 16 points and just massive. Probably died of old age.

When I lived in East Nashville, I'd regularly see monster bucks strutting around. Took these one day at Shelby Bottoms.

Agree with deer, too straight for hog consideration imo

That’s a buck track. Hog would be much more rounded, not pointed.
