there is a red Japanese maple about 6 feet to the left, and a black walnut tree on the other side of my property.

Sure looks like a Peony to me.
Looks to be a peony to me but also seems a little late in the year to be popping up now.
Let it grow a bit. Maybe sumac
Looks like root suckers off a tree of heaven to me. Extremely invasive. You said you have a black walnut elsewhere on the property. Can you share a photo of it, specifically the bark and leaves? They are sometimes confused, but one is a good native plant (black walnut) and the other is an imported nightmare.
Peonies aren’t this pinnate. Also, peony shoots would be more top-heavy with leaves than this. Besides tree of heaven, sumac might be another possibility.
(Gah! Reddit isn’t even letting me clip a zoom of the OP pic. In the first pic, you can see a distinctly pinnate leaf at the left and another with even more leaflets toward the bottom of the clump.)
