It' s quite obvious that your looking at a buck that is approx 458 days old with 4 points on the right side, and 3 on the left side. He broke a brow tine while fighting a larger 5x5 3 days before. He has a water hole 1321 feet to the north-east that he frequents alot, and beds in a weedy patch 93 feet south-west from there. He also prefers does that don' t run away too fast, and likes midnight strolls to the local wheat field at night

I have to stop watching CSI

ROTFLMAO

I am going out on a limb here; I believe it is from a whitetail buck who maybe big or just in that ackward teenage years and hasn' t quite grown into his " hoofs" yet. Did you take any pictures of his droppings or better yet give them a good wiff..if so what did it smell like?

I can' t see them that well, but I am not even sure they are deer tracks. They seem kind of blocky to me. Were the toes really pointed, or rounded off. Could they be sheep or audad? Rounded toes would more likely be some type of sheep.
