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

UMPIRE , pretty much nailed it!

A buck will have a wider gate than a doe and you can distinguish that the animal has four feet instead of two. If you look at doe tracks thru a few inches of snow , you'd think the animal had two feet instead of four , because they put their hind feet in the track of the front feet. Bucks and does leave dew claw marks , both will leave split hoove marks. The best way to tell is to look at the way their walking.
If anyone wants to really study up on the art of tracking , pick up a book called "Big Bucks the Benoit Way" , it's excellent read.
