INTERDIGITAL GLAND
The interdigital gland is located in the cleft between the toes of the front hooves of both bucks and does. This gland also emits and odor which is left in the deer's track, enabling other deer to follow by smell. It appears that does leave an identifiable scent through their interdigital glands that tell a buck when they are ready to be bred. The buck singles this track out and follows it much like a dog sniffing his way along the ground.


10-4! Just checking! Thank you.
