whitetail buck scrape

A scrape is a type of marker created when a deer, typically a buck, removes ground material with its fore-hooves and exposes a patch of soil. Scrapes serve as a form of communication between deer, leaving their scent in the area (through glands on their face and urinating on the ground), and letting them know who's area it is !

 

The swollen neck and panting are all signs of pending rut......
