Track identification

0I could use alittle help from the Outdoor Boards track experts.
This was a track in a series of tracks right near my stand at the edge of a clearcut. I found 20 or so tracks like this, with this being the best one for a pic. The track has five toes, one is barley visible but it was there. The tracks are bipedal with about a 2.5' stride . Size comparison, that is a size 13 boot. So the track is probably 8" in length. To me it doesn't look like any common track I can think of and it's kinda creepy. We are pretty isolated so you can almost rule out a barefoot kid. Maybe it's an obvious animal I'm just not thinking of but I'm stumped and I don't really want to jump to an crazy ideas. What do you guys think? This isn't bull shite either my brother took the pic this evening.

If you’re saying it’s 8in and your size 13in boot side by side is real. Then I’m gonna say I have never seen anything like it and you must have found big foots kid.
I’m 46 yrs old have spent 60-90 days in the woods my whole life and have never seen a track that large . If your not trolling make sure you stay strapped so you don’t get clapped!!!

Looks like an area that used to hold water, so possibly some slipping making it look bigger. Big arse coon or rear rabbit foot?
Maybe a beaver or otter?
But OP did say bipedal. I am looking....

on 10/7/22 at 11:17 pm to Speckhunter2012I saw no signs of any other paws touching the ground throughout the fairly lengthy track. All tracks looked just like this one.

I believe you. The closest I have found is a beaver's rear foot but lacked imprints of webbing. I did see some beaver tracks where the webbing was not visible though. With no front paws seen, that is still a mystery.
