RE: deer identification
I would like to know the truth too. Maybe we should talk to a deer farmer. Or we could always rangle a doe and a buck and then put poop bags on them...... but how would we collect them afterwards. I guess we could always wait for the deer with a diaper on.[8D]

GMMAT- depends if they are eating alot of corn....
I have always been told that clumped means buck. To compliment that, I have always found clumped near areas of high buck sign and activity. Maybe its not 100%

I don't believe you can tell the difference between a buck's poop or doe's poop. Maybe the different variations of poop is determined by their diet? I've also heard that when it is clumped they have been bedded down awhile.
There actually is a way to tell, you see the deer that is depositing it! ! ! ! !

RE: deer identification
I read an article DR James Kroll wrote about deer droppings a while back. He stated in it that there is no way of telling whether the droppings came from a doe or buck. He stated that diet played a big role in the consistency of the poop and whether they were beded or up moving around. I doubt that any of us has put much time in to studing deer crap, so i reckon i will just have to take him at his word. lol
