The only problem is that raccoons tend to have long claws, like fingers.
and 
their pad print is like a long handprint.
The pad isn't well defined in this pic, but the claws are.
Looks like a large fox based on closeness and shape of fingers and the
small 
pad --- but of course, can't be certain.  Do you have Woodchucks in that 
area?
