Footprints in Indiana County, Pennsylvania

Shortly after dawn I was out on the back porch having coffee and watching my dog on her leash. I have heard coyotes lately and I don't let my dog out alone. I was looking at the deer tracks in the snow and had 4 deer in the back yard the previous night. There is a large field next to the house. When I was looking in that direction I noticed some strange tracks in the snow. About an hour or so later I walked over to inspect the tracks. The tracks were similar to human tracks, but different. The thing that was most apparent to me was the distance between the foot prints, which approximately 4' apart. There were no shoe treads in the tracks. I believe the tracks were made sometime after 11pm and 3-5am, because I was outside until around 11pm. Then I was up around 6am but it was dark at that time. I didn't see them until it was light. The tracks had fresh snow inside the tracks indicating they were several hours old. I could not positively see toe prints. I have pictures of the tracks on my phone.
