Coues Gender Identification

[rtkemp]

With the bucks dropping their racks, how do you tell bucks from does from their feet or legs?

 

I see pics with deer feeding with their butts towards the camera and can't tell.

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

You should still be able to see their pedicle or the first bumps of rapidly growing velvet.

Yes, do explain. That was the reason I made the topic. I'm all for fun and games, but some legitamate help would be great.

 

Thanks

It is pretty tough. You can usually make out the difference from their tracks, but not always. A doe has slightly wider hips for birthing, so when their back foot steps on the track of the front foot it is slightly outside where a buck is centered or slightly inside because they tend to have a wider chest & narrower hips. On a really good buck you can sometimes see all 4 tracks as their body length is long enough they don't step on the front track with the back foot. But just looking at legs in a pic - go fish....

I never knew wingshooting Coues was a possibility. I've shot all of mine on the ground. Guess I'm just a meat hunter after all!

Could see that coming miles and miles away

 

Big tracks big bucks, little tracks little buck.

 

We just retrieved pics from a trail cam, we thought we had a slew of doe in there, but when we zoomed in could see the pedicles and little bumps of new growth.

 

Sorry, can't help you much on the legs and feet notion of telling a buck from a doe but I am sure somebody out there has some legitimate help for ya,

Good luck.

 

I can't resisit........my wifes legs are nice and smooth.....my legs have this coarse hair all over them.
