Today, I walk back in there, and in the dirt, for the first time ever in my life, I saw what you just posted a picture of. It wasn't AS distinct, because it was in hard dirt as opposed to mud. The dew claws were evident, especially the left one.

First and only true deer sign I have seen back in there. Have to say I am pretty pumped about it. I usually don't take the mower up the 4-wheeler path at all, but last time I said ah what the heck. So I pushed it up the hill about 5-6 foot, thats it. This track was right on the edge of the overgrown 4-wheeler path and where I cut the grass. He was headed up the hill. I paid attention on the way back out, and saw a trail coming off the hill. It's old and I noticed it before, but it didn't look like anything was still using it. Who knows maybe its his trail.
That is VERY good.....A faint trail tucked the furthest back in the woods with tracks like that in it. That is very good.
