Is there a difference between buck and doe tracks?

RE: Is there a difference between buck and doe tracks?
These guys are all right...but I'm still not sure whether you can tell "for sure" what made what track. I think it's more of a guessing game. So I'm gonna say, no, you can't really tell whether a doe or buck made certain tracks.
And now that I've read umpire's post, I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time typing my reply....oh well. <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
My mind belongs to my work...
My heart belongs to my family...
But my soul...belongs to the woods.

I read in magazines all the time, and I have noticed it myself that a mature bucks hoofprint is wide. Not neccesarily V shaped with a gap. sometimes the 2 halves are touching, they are always wide.
Young bucks and does are almost identical.
FOOLPROOF?
Never underestimate the power of a fool!

I must say that I have a wall full of deer head. All are bucks and there are 13 of them.......they were all killed by my granddad. Me....well I have killed a doe once. Anyway, I think I said I THINK that a buck track or it may be the same as a big a$$ doe has two prongs in the back. For example, you know the usual deer track, it looks like you put your fingers together and pushed them in the mud. Well like that but in the back on the left and right sides are two wholes too. Like a spur from a turkey I guess you could say. I don't know for sure but what I do know is there is an old, old buck behind our house with only one side of his antlers and I have seen his tracks and they have the "prong like" things that go with the track.
