I don' t see anything that would tell me he' s a monster 10 point or that he weighs 250 pounds. The track is of a running deer that slid in the stuff when it was wetter. The dew claws made an impression which gives the whole thing a bigger look than it is. The individual tracks don' t appear to be much more than 3 quarters wide which is less than 3 inches and it' s a running impression. Sorry to burst your bubble... but this could be your 120 pound weakling or a nice doe.

Yep Im with David, the tracks I would think would be from an average size deer, 100lbs give or take 20lbs.

Don' t let David rain on your parade.... I see it, looks like a 278 lbs. 14 point non-typical to me, maybe even the new NJ record

Really now, I do believe David may be right here, Typically dew claw impressions indicate a running deer, running deer or bounding tend to leave deeper/larger tracks, What does not look real typical is that when deer run the hooves tend to be spread apart more. My thoughts are alot like Davids, I tend to think that the track was made by a deer that stepped in that location or running(but not fast) when the ground was softer, as it sank the dew claws made contact with the soil.
Also, By the cracks in the soil around the track indicates that area holds water(notice no vegitation) and does appear to be clay (again hard and no vegitation) but clay ,alot of times dries hard on the surface yet will stay very moist under the crust.As clay often does it has poor drainage under the crusty layer. I would not bet my entire season on that spot as being a huge buck, but even if it was a doe, it won' t be long and a buck may soon follow.

That could be any 1 1/2 year old deer.
