deer poop in the scrapes all the time. more likely its a community scrape which are active all year round. does have been known to make scrapes too.

Put a cam on the scrape, just make sure you have it up and angling down to have the "lightning" effect. I have better luck that way and hadn't had bucks spooked like I did when I had my flash cams and IR cams on the ground at knee level. I am not saying all, but I have had in the last 2 years 3 good bucks get spooked by the IR cams from the red glow. Then I didn't get another pic of them the whole season nor did I see them once thru out. Fortunately I know they are still running because the farmer tells me how big these bucks he sees.
I have 14 cams. I check mine once a week if not, definitely by the end of the 2nd week. If the smell me its fine because they are not sensing danger with me walking in the woods or the landowners 4 wheelers. So them knowing my scent now will be fine come fall & they aren't alarmed as much. I see deer all the time when I am walking in and checking the cams, heck they have even followed me to watch. Sometimes they stand & watch to see what I am up too then mosey on or carry on to where they were heading. But my farmer/landowner is in the woods daily so human scent/activity is nothing new to them.
