Actually smaller deer will pretty well be almost a closed V at the front, but as you know when they start gaining weight or are moving at more than a walk then they start splaying in order to support their weight better. PS: That display picture was taken right off this website!

Yeah, I see tracks of definite bucks, where it basically looks like two little trenches in the mud, running parallel to each other.
I never knew that young bucks would still make the V tracks. I thought only doe did that.

lol Only time I pay close attention to the little ones Top is when I am feeling the need to crank up the rotisseri (or however you spell the damn thing) and want to put on a nice 80-90 pounder yearling. Mighty fine grub there! Sew in some fresh Garlic cloves, onion pieces , fresh Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, and a pat of real butter in each pocket, set the coals up indirect and low and turn on the Rotor. for about 4-6 hours and man you talk about some mighty fine vittels! Damn I just made myself hungry and I can't eat any more tonight. Blood tests in the morning!

Ok this is awesome news for me.
Out of my 3 fields, there is one that is tucked the furthest back to the woods, and has an old grown up 4-wheeler path going up the hill.
I always look for deer signs back in here and NEVER see them. Before I cut it, there was a deer trail through there but that was it.
Today, I walk back in there, and in the dirt, for the first time ever in my life, I saw what you just posted a picture of. It wasn't AS distinct, because it was in hard dirt as opposed to mud. The dew claws were evident, especially the left one.
First and only true deer sign I have seen back in there. Have to say I am pretty pumped about it. I usually don't take the mower up the 4-wheeler path at all, but last time I said ah what the heck. So I pushed it up the hill about 5-6 foot, thats it. This track was right on the edge of the overgrown 4-wheeler path and where I cut the grass. He was headed up the hill. I paid attention on the way back out, and saw a trail coming off the hill. It's old and I noticed it before, but it didn't look like anything was still using it. Who knows maybe its his trail.
