I hope you really didn't mean what you posted in that bolded sentence since it's just the opposite! All the tracks in this attached photo are ones that are going up in the direction they are traveling. Although the picture shows the dew claws in all the tracks, normally you won't see them until a deer, usually a buck, gets enough weight on him to leave them in the ground as puncture marks
behind the splayed track. Smaller deer of both sexes will show as just a ^ of various sizes in the direction they are going.
