We found some dinky little fawn prints along side some full size prints on our archery range one day. So, we knew momma and her baby had been by. You can tell if the deer was feeding, running or just out for a casual stroll by looking at the pattern of the tracks. You can see the direction the deer was going. You can get an idea of the body size by the depth of the tracks, especially if there is another set of tracks to compare them with. A good tracker can tell how old the tracks are. (Like 3 years ago when I was heading back to the truck and found a deer track inside one of my footprints on that dusty road. I knew it had come by sometime in the past 3 hours. Dang it![&:])

You can find out all you want to know about the deer from it's tracks. Just follow them till you get to the deer.
