Default RE: Is there a difference between buck and doe tracks?

Carpetguy has it right, A bucks front end is wider than his rear, and a does rear is wider than her front. Add to that the fact that a bucks front hoofs are noticeably larger than the rear and the fact that the opposite is true for does, and you can tell the difference, but you have to be able to see the tracks in a soft dirt area or something like a road crossing so that you can tell wich hoofmarks are printing over the other. Now, if you don't believe this, just remember to pay very close attention this year when you kill a doe and a buck and you can actually see the difference.
