deer tracks

Cervid footprint evidence

Deer tracks are the hoof impressions left by deer in soft ground, mud, or snow.

Hunters and wildlife observers use them to identify deer presence and movement patterns.

The distinctive split-hoof shape—two elongated teardrop marks side by side—distinguishes deer tracks from other animals: Fresh deer tracks led down to the creek.
