Judging Deer Tracks.
Hey guys I just did some scouting today looking for rubs and stuff and found some interesting deer tracks. These tracks looked huge to me but I really dont know how to judge what kind of deer it is based on its track. I figured I would post em up here and see what you thought. Please let me know. Thanks
There are two different tracks and a rub that I found close. Let me know what ya think.

I am going with this statement. I have been hunting deer for 35 years. The only way that I am for sure that a buck has made a track is to see or if you have knowledge of a heavy buck in the area an his track are considerably larger than other tracks which is rare.

The only way it's not true is if you can't tell whether it's a buck or doe. I am a taxidermist and before that processed deer in Pennsylvania and have handled 1000's of deer and i can cut the legs off either sex and you won't be able to tell them apart visually. Yes some deer have bigger feet and are heavier but I have also personally witness a 200+lb doe, so go figure.
