RE: Buck or Doe???
Looks like a buck track, but pics can be deceiving. I would have to see the track in person and compare it to the rest of the tracks to determin if it were running or walking. The deers weight is what makes the track spread out and the dew claws come in contact with the ground. Walking does generally do not have the weight required to splay the track.

RE: Buck or Doe???
I think it could be either one. Because the print looks like a buck but it is also sunkin into the ground deep enought in the back to show that it could be a doe

RE: Buck or Doe???
A muture doe has a wide pelvis for bearing young making their hind tracks appear outside the front ones. A bucks rear tracks are almost always inside his front ones since he has a broader shoulder than his pelvis.
Since you state the track is a little inside the front one I would guess Buck. Here is a quote I found In Iowa Game & Fish Magazine that supports my statement. "To narrow down whether the tracks you're looking at are actually those of a buck or doe is fairly easy. Because a mature doe is narrower in the chest when compared to the hind end, her rear tracks are slightly outside of her front tracks. Bucks' tracks are just the opposite, which means he's typically wider in the chest than at the rear end, where his rear tracks are slightly inside the front tracks" |
