Tracks of equal size can not always, by themselves, bo positively identified as having been made by a buck or doe. 4. Antlered does may make decidedly buck-like tracks. Thus, an old doe with antlers was mistaken for a buck and shot by W. D. Johnson, on September 11, 1025, at a locality four miles east of Sierravillo, California. I examined, in the flesh, the head and feet of this doe. The hoofs of the front feet were two inches in width and were similar in shape to those of a buck of similar size. 5. In the field it is often possible, by following tracks made by a deer, to arrive at definite conclusions as to the sex of the animal that made them. For instance a doe does not stop and "horn" or saplings as bucks frequently do. A positive identification of the sex of the animal may often be had by following tracks and noting the relative position of urine deposits. In nearly every instance mule deer stand still while urinating. If the deposit of urine is located well forivard of the hind foot tracks the animal may safely be listed as a buck, whereas if the urine deposit is located behind the hind foot tracks, the deer is a Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
