Beats me. But I would guess yes for larger does. Voted #3 cause I'm only guessing.

I would vote that I think they do sometimes but that wasnt an option. So I have no clue.
I just realized that Tapatalk doesn't show a poll. I had to log onto the site to vote or see results.

They do in the freshly disced Juneau Co sandbox when you spook them off the plot.
I didn't vote because it seems like a special circumstance, IMO?

One of my buddy's says his wife has bigger feet than him. It might even be true.
I think the answer is at least occasionally yes.
When we used to party hunt 30-40 years ago, everyone was talking about a big buck that was staying in a small area, based on tracks. My Dad ran HER by my Uncle and she was bigger than most bucks. Lottery area and does seldom got killed. Same as SD's area. her dew claws showed on the sandy road when she would run.

Okay, so I suck at wording on polls.
I watched a doe and fawn a couple days ago. They crossed the dirt road in front of me, coming from the neighbor's to my place...she left tracks larger than most I've seen. Dew claws were clearly visible, she was trotting but not running full bore.

I've seen some boys out in the woods tell some whoppers when myself and a few friends walking around/scout. I really have no idea but I enjoy the BS.  |

I firmly believe the only 100% certain way to determine a buck from a doe track is to see the deer that made it. Some claim its the length or width or if it's splayed, with or without dew claws....shit I don't know. I had a buddy swear you could tell the difference....yet he couldn't ID a maple from an oak and never gutted his own deer before.....so lets just say my confidence in his deer knowledge was not real high.

I'd wager a fair sum that a vast majority of deer hunters would tell you that a wide splayed set of tracks with dew claws showing is without a doubt a buck track.
