Default How to read Deer tracks

Does anyone have any book/dvd recommendations for reading tracks? I've been seeing some massive tracks, but I dont really know enough about the animal to tell what size deer it is. I've only killed does (only one so far with a bow), and their tracks are always puny.

I was told a long time ago that if the deer track has a dragging that its typically a buck.

If you notice a large track that is sprawled out (like your fingers holding up a peace sign), it usually means it's a big bodied deer. More than likely a buck.
