Now the weather is gettin cold and the wind went down some.....these showed up by my ground blind. They look pretty darned big to this old man 8)
The second photo is not a running print so I figure it's a chubby little rascal.....the last photo is an average size track in this area.

I bet there are some huge deer where you are Rich.

I'll bet so too.....every now and then somebody gets lucky, but the DNR has found some carcasses of deer in the 250-300 pound class. But not many though. I hopr I'm the blind pig that finds the mushroom this year

Any track 3 inchs or over is differenty a 3 1/3 or older. Only you can deside how heavy he is by being there and knowing the soil. I know by the ones I killed if his track is over 3 inchs He's 200 plus pounds. I killed 4 that had 3 inch or a little bigger they were 202 to 208. My biggest had a 3 3/8's track and dress 224. My cousin once killed a 10 point off one of my farms. His tack was just short of 4 inchs and he was 367 guted after he hung 3 days.
This just a general rule but not always so because a guy that use to hunt with me. Killed a buck with a track just a little over 2 1/4 inchs that dress 211.
Bucks are like people the all have different size feet. But un like ours theres get bigger with weight.
These are all farm killed bucks. Here theres almost all crop farms.
