I think the ground was probably softer when the tracks were made...........today not so much. We have been as dry this year as I have ever seen it.

Wow.

RE: Can anyone get any info from these tracks?
 

I would have to agree with some of the members that replyed , those prints were made by a large bodied deer.
I really don't think someone used one of those scrap makers , the spread of those tracks are pretty wide.
I do hope it's an old mature buck , if theres a nice tall tree with good cover maybe you shoud set up a stand or even a ground blind nearby.
Good luck to you atlasman , lets us know how it truns out and be careful out there.

He is bigger then average that is for sure...............that's about all I know for sure.


We shall see. My hopes right now are to get a look at him opening week (next). One step at a time.

LOL stop your killin me

Three things for sure. The deer was mature, running and it went that-a-way. Mature because of the size. Running because the dew claws are marked in the print. Probably a heavy bodied deer, though the toes can splay pretty good in wet ground - especially in heavy clay - when on a dead run. Maybe a buck, but it could just as easily be a big, fat, mature doe.

definitely looks promising, I also Like the idea of hunting him from a distance at first. However, knowing that there are others there hunting and they probably know about him, I'd come up with a back-up plan. If you're fairly certain that he hangs out in that thick crap, I'd come in from the back side with the predominant wind in your favor and try to locate his escape routes. If the other hunters are kids, they probably don't know any better and will go in and bust him out of there a time or two. I always like to use hunting pressure to my advantage. good luck.
