The bucks and does I have gutted don't seem to look that different on the inside, except for a few important details.

I let a decent 8pt walk a few weeks ago. I walked his back trail to see exactly which trail he was using, and found warm droppings just after he came off a milo field. It was basically 1/2 clump and 1/2 scattered. It wasn't a mystery as I had just seen him 60yds away, but what does it tell you? Nothing really, other than a deer had been by there recently.

I think it helps tell you travel routes and sizes can help tell you big deer versus small deer, and that would be it for absolutes.
