Only way to positively ID a big buck is to get a pic or lay eyes on him! Tracks and poop can be very deceiving!

Yup, could be a spike with big hooves. I shot a nice 4.5 yr old buck this year with smaller hooves than a 1.5 yr old 3 pt a guest shot on my farm.

No hogs in this area that I know of. There were many smaller deer tracks in the immediate area - presumably does. The big tracks really stood out dramatically from the rest of the tracks. There was also a large, active scrape nearby on the edge of the field. I remember watching a show earlier this year where Stan Potts said that big tracks usually mean big bucks.
