Shame it’s only a single print but foxes tend to be in a straight line whilst dogs have a wider gait generally. Makes it easier.
Does look fox like though

I would say fox and hare

That second photo looks like a hare being chased by a fox/dog. Dogs/foxes have that C shaped layout of prints when they are running.

A couple more photos. Fox does look like it’s chasing something

Agree rabbit/hare and fox. When travelling fox tracks are a single line.

Rabbit/hare are traveling at slow speed one hop at a time. A Rabbit/Hare's gait opens up as the speed increases. The Fox is just trotting along on a relaxed pace no pursuit in progress. Busy old place in the dark you've got there

@Tikkat1x are those initial prints definitely from the same track? The dog print is as broad as it is wide whereas the fox print is much longer than it is wide. It may just be how the snow has melted but I strongly suspect that the two attached are from different tracks.

 

[WalkedUp]

Whereas the scale of the gait suggests hare rather than rabbit for these.

there probably not from the same track, i was just taking pictures all over the farm,
