RE: tracks in the mud?
Well skid row, many people on here have posted as to clues they use to determain a bucks track. I know my area, and the deer in it after scouting and months of hunting. A mature doe here in Kansas is about 150 to 175 lbs. A mature buck will be about 180 to 250. After i see a buck that I couldn,t shoot I make it a point to look at his tracks when I get down from my stand. I look for depth in the soil, a wider stance, dew claw imprint, a hoof drag, their weight spreads their hoof apart futher. Maybe I just think I know the difference, but it keeps me going back and anticipating that monster comming into range on my next hunt. I once saw 2 big tracks with 4 smaller ones in front of it. Unless their is a 6 legged deer out there I would guess that there was a big boy smacking those suger walls.
