Default Are these deer tracks?

I was walking through the woods looking for a new deer spot, when I stumbled upon these tracks. They are all over this area. I found a spot about two hundred yards away. This may be my new spot, but I cannot confirm that as of yet.

The quality of the pictures is not very good, and I appologize for that. I also enlarged the pictures. That would be the only way you would be able to see the detail.













Here are some pictures of the spot I am considering hunting:







As you can tell, I am not very good at taking pictures! The area I am planning on hunting is in a pine tree forest. The pine trees were planted in rows, which should work on my side. I found a nice sized pine tree to climb up in. I will take more, and better, pictures the next time I am out there.

Im not sure, its hard to tell but if I had to guess I would say those look like holes from some type of a varmint, squirrel's, a skunk, something like that digging in the needles. But thats just my guess...

Look for droppings in the area. I have seen trails that looked that way this time of year. Follow it a littleways and look for a concentration of droppings old and new. You find that, you find the deer.

I believe it to be baby Yeti tracks (bigfoot)!Hard to tell by the pics. Could be deer and could be holes rabbits make in grass. If there are imprints in the dirt then they are giant rabbits or deer.

I went out tomy land today to scout a little bit more.I am sure some of those tracks are from possum and armadillo. I will go out there Saturday and set up some trip wire to see if there are any deer in the area. Hopefully there are.

Do you have any hogs in your area, looks like the tracks they've been leaving on my property.

I haven't seen any hogs, but there may be some. I really doubt the tracks werecreated by hogs.

Also, I was wondering if it would scare the deer to tie a trip line. If I would take thread, wire, powerlines (most likely thread) and set it up 2' between trees, I would be able to tell if a deer walks through the area. Won't the deer just consider the line a spider web?
