What Are These Foot Prints?

jokes aside, seen hare tracks do that, just come to an abrubt end, but if you start to cast around in circles around the end of the track, you'll see where its landed, literally just leapt from where it stopped and landed a few feet or a yard or so away, seen that a lot on the hill while out tracking, used to puzzle me at the start then an old fella told me what to do, he was right. although these arent hare tracks i dont think lol

I was going to say a thrush (a blackbird IS a thrush). It isn't a deer at all - only one set of tracks if you think they are cloven hooves! A munty would knock the corners off the corner of each print as it lifts it leg and moves forward - this is a bird hopping. With no sense of scale it is difficult to say exactly - out in the fields in the snow it is likely to be a redwing or fieldfare (again thrushes). BUT they travel in groups so there would be more around in the same area, not necessarily overlapping, but with yards. No magpie - no tail feather trace.

 

The terrain and size would narrow it further.
