I think some of the confusion came from the exact definition of "inside". Jeff used a much better word (overlapping) for exactly how front and rear doe tracks often lay. "Inside" as it was read by some, actually should have read "overlapping", I think Jeff may have taken "inside" to mean the front tracks will not be as wide as the rear tracks, which is almost never the case in my experience.

Does (especially young ones, and fawns of both genders) will have tracks that "overlap". Does, however, do not broaden at the shoulder or really even the hip to a greater extent one way or the other (though it may be noticable, the tracks will often not fall completely outside a line from front to back). The tell-tale sign is the fact that there is no obvious "inside" or "outside" (meaning that the shoulders and hips are nearly identical width wise). And of course the fact that they walk on their toes. They do, however, get longer in the body, so as they pass into maturity, the tracks often will not overlap as much, if at all even.

Bucks, especiallyonce they hit twoyears of age start to develop shoulder mass. Their bodies also get longer, just like does, only more so. This growth continues to the age of about 4-5 years old. So, when you have a set of tracks with dew claw imprints, where there is one track offset from the the other the width of 2-3 of your fingers between them (noticable) and they are spaced greater than 3" apart front to back, you can reasonably figure you are dealing with a buck that is at least 4 years old.
