well are there any animals like deer or moose that hang around your parts? Whatever it is it looks really big.

Rabbits and racoons have paws kind of like cats, mouse,rats paws.Because they hold thier food with thier front paw. Those prints are deer foot prints.

no no no

those are obvious tauren hoofprints probably of a tauren child.

My first impression was also that they were rabbit footprints. However in the third picture they do look too large to be that. There are neither deer or moose where I live, so I do not have an opinion on that. Another thing that crossed my mind was that your story reminded me of an old legend called the Devil's footprints. You can Google that, there is a ton of pages on the net. But your footprints are different than what was described. Too bad you did not climb up on the roof to see if the tracks continued there. (I'm kidding. )

i say rabbit prints, not foot prints,. the whole rabbits lower body ,tail back and front legs.

the do look like hoof prints and i have size 10 1/2 feet also so judging by that pic the tracks are about 6" long.
to big for a deer and if they were they would be staggered not in a straight line.
don't know of any bipedal animal that walks by placing it's feet directly in front of the other.
my guess is a rabbit or hare. when they hop their hind feet land directly behind or next to the front feet thus giving the impression that it isone large print. and remember the way their hind legs are shaped when they hop not just the paw hits the ground but the whole bottom part of the leg making appear larger.
did you look closer and see if there were 4 paws prints in 1 track? sometimes hard to tell in snow (esp. fluffy snow)but i would bet if you look closer you would be able to see them
