What Do Deer Tracks Look Like?

Deer tracks are most identifiable in mud and snow, but they can be seen in grass and dirt, as well.

  • Shape: They are composed of two separate hoof prints, which combine to look like an inverted heart.
  • Length: The typical deer print ranges in length from about one to three inches.
  • Male vs female: Though male tracks are generally larger than the footprints of females, telling them apart is usually hard for untrained individuals to make.
  • Fawns: Smaller deer tracks with sharp tips typically belong to fawns.
