Default Buck or Doe???

Is this print from a buck or doe or could either one make one like this? I've never seen a print as clear as this one.
Sorry, I should have given a little more info.
The back hoof was in line maybe a little inside the front and it was only half as deep as the front, the deer didn't apper to be running.

A buck or doe could have made that print, but more likely a buck.

Judging by the dew claws I'd guess this animal to be a buck.

Do the tracks indicate a walking or running deer? If the deer was moving with any speed that track could easily have been made by a doe.

that also looks like the ground was wet.. and KNOWING where you hunt we have had lots of rain in the last few weekends.

i woudl say it coudl be EAITHER buck or Doe, but my GUT instinct says BUCk. the dew claws do point to the buck.. but i wouldnt guess how big because obviosuly the ground was wet when it was made. i woudl say track that deer a little and see where it hangs out see if you can get a picture of him.

OK my guess is its a buck.

About a 2 1/2 year old. 9 pointer, w/ small droptine between the g2 and g3 on the right beam. Probably score about 100.

if there was a print behind that one depending on what side of the front print, we could tell. Every deer has dew claws, those dew claws look deep like the deer had just stopped and put all its weight in either front or back.
