I'd say it is much more likely that a trespasser dropped it.

No way to tell. Probably a big, heavy, mature deer, but unless you see them actually making the track, you'll never know.

More likely a big-footed doe.

From the deer I have seen on some of our leases that could be a smaller buck to be honest. A mature heavy body buck would leave a track around 5-6 inches without his claws
But I am talking about a mature 3.5- 5.0 year old deer with good health.

Set a trail camera up around and see if you can catch him. If you have figured out the deers pattern, take a rake out on a trail away from any food source you think he is traveling and rake a spot out smooth...set a camera watching over the clean area, and see if you can catch the deer making the track on camera. Worked for me manytimes!
