They wear the tips of their toes (fronts especially) from all the traveling they do looking for does.
I don't buy into this theory. A doe doesthis (wears the tips of her hooves) as well.Granted, a buck does considerabletraveling during the rut, butthat period is short lived. I would say overall, a doe travels more than the average buck does throughout the year. JMHO
I would agree with Greg on this one.IMO - from my observations,bucks often have more of a rounded impression than a doe, deeper track andmore space between the splits in the hooves.
The depthof a given track is relative to the pressure/weight being put on the hoof. A heavy doe(they doe exist) can/will leave a deep track with a wide spaceas well as a heavy buck. Probably more so because there are more doe than buck, at least where I hunt.
