You cannot age a deer using the size of THEIR tracks. Sure a fawn makes a very small footprint. Beyond that, it is a guess. You can only age a deer with certainty using THEIR teeth until they reach a certain age then tooth wear is taken under consideration. The Quality Deer Management Association sells posters that will answer a lot of your aging questions. Go to their "shop" tab then click on "education".
