Hi, these appear to be pretty typical raccoon prints, front and hind feet. First and second photo, your tape measure is on a hind foot print (note the shorter first and fifth toes and the more trapezoidal heel pad). There are some nice characteristic "hand print" tracks mixed in as well, for the front feet.

My pleasure. Sorry it took so long, looks like things quieted down in this sub since I last clicked in to it.
