If the deer was running the track on the right would not be so straight in. A running deer also lays a more Y shaped track than that. The toes are spread apart more from the center making a Y shape. These tracks are not really unnaturally spread. I check my hunting area by tracking all around bean fields some corn. I live in Northern Illinois and I get to see a lot of tracks. Wet black leaves great impressions. I have jumped a buck in the morning watched him bound out and away through beans. I later checked the imprint and found the track to be splayed even further than the picture and Y shaped. IMO this does not look like a doe print. In my experience, I would say this may be a 2 1/2 year old buck. I have not seen many doe prints showing dew claws without being sunken further than the given picture. Again, based on my opinion
