HM you also have to consider the conditions the deer are walking in whether it be rocky flooring, gravel stream beds, sand, swampy floors, green pastures muddy/dry agriculture fields etc; etc; etc;...
Each surface condition hones the hoof into it's own unique way, sometimes tracks can tell huge stories or offer very little info at all.
In any case, One things for sure, if you find "ANY" tracks, there's a good chance deer might be in the area.
