Looks like deer to me, but a couple of the pics are tough to call. But if I were to wager a guess, it would be deer

Typically you see marks from the dewclaws behind the hooves from pigs and the hooves tend to be wider apart.....Jes my observations....

Deer. The toes are to pointed to be a piggy +1. That's the giveaway to tell the difference.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Deer. The toes are to pointed to be a piggy I agree. Pigs have much wider, rounder tracks. Deer tracks are long and skinny.

Deer Track (typical)  Hog Track (typical)  Use the relative 'shape' of the print as your diagnostic tool, not whether or not dew claw marks are present (no matter how common). Also be aware there is such a thing as a 'Mule Footed' hog (though fairly rare), it does NOT have a cloven hoof.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Thank you so much for the help. One of those pictures looks more like the hog. What do you think?
