Animals take the easiest path between two areas. Looks like deer trails I’ve seen on a plowed field. I would think it would be a deer game trail. Are there two patches of woods where these lead?

I think it's the trail of the giant slug (giantus slugitus). Thought to be extinct but recently mysterious trails such this have been popping up. This evidence suggests the species is alive and thriving.

Too Funny :-)
May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

Maybe coon... my first thought too would be deer. And like savage warrior I’d want to know what is on each end. Woods/ salt block = deer... whereas your house/ neighbors house might = lots of sugar borrowed. Any tracks? Sometimes a “game Trail” can have multiple users. Is your yard tore up from skunks? Are you missing chickens... coyotes (or neighbors dog) (or my dog... although she doesn’t even go to the neighbors let alone Ohio).

KarlBAndersen1: "Ground hog. All of the other animals mentioned almost always travel with more than one animal. They don't follow in each other's footsteps, especially across a wide open place like that. "
My sisters neighbor feeds deer. They make a trail like that every year... deer often have trails like that through the woods. I’ve seen it both ways.

there are numerous ground hogs in that field. there are deer as well. Those are the only two animals I have seen. ground hogs>>deer. just didn't know that they would make a track like that.
don't get me started on the paper boy.

LOL. I guess the jokes on us.......unless that is a pasture ornament. "
no, I really didn't know if deer or ground hogs caused the furrow. I guessed it was a possibility but it was a legit question.
The picture of the deer was from 3 years ago. The furrow was a couple weeks ago.
Thanks for all of the responses. I love to learn and this has been a great site for that. If I had to bet if it was deer or ground hogs, would vote for ground hogs just because of numbers.

As an ex paper route man for 25 years, I must defend the paperboy so trivally blamed. In today's paper world, any trails outside would probably have a parallel set of vehicle tracks instead. Usually, I stayed on the streets and did not make trails as described except in snow, fallen leaves or temporary trails in the rain.
