Got out for a couple hours Monday morning before work, and I kicked out a deer. Found his bed, I could tell he been using it a lot. A lot of hair under the snow. There was a rub in his bed. Do gauges suggest the buck has small points near his base. Also, how long does a buck stink? He had a stinky bed.

Re: gauges
Another question, 3 finger tracks likely from 2.5 year old?

Re: gauges
Depends on the size of your fingers I suppose. All deer are different. Nice find though for sure!

Re: gauges
Sounds like a 3.5 with that size track. How high are his rubs? Height is the first thing I look at when scrutinizing a rub.

Gouges could be from brows, or stickers. look at the height to determine maturity.
Stinky bed? He was probably rutting late when some yearlings came into heat in december.
