It isn't 100% accurate, but you can usually get a sense by looking at the tail shape towards the base - you're looking for that thicker look towards the base and a slight bulge a little down the tail from the vent.



Also, at least in the prairies the females tend to run larger than males, so if you pick several really big ones, odds are more than 50% will be females.



Cheers,

Billy
