RE: tracks in the mud?
it is impossible to tell to sex of any animal by the foot print. Like some others have said the bigger and deeper the track the bigger and heavier the deer. Since most bucks are bigger it leads you to believe the bigger tracks are of a buck but not always true. There is no way to tell a 100 lb buck track from a 150 lb doe. If anything you will be thinking the doe is the buck. Seeing any tracks is a good thing. That lets you know there are deer in the area. But never count on a monster buck just because you saw a monster track
