or just scent check it and urinate on it?
I was just wondering if a scrape is obviously freshly "scraped", does it have to be a buck that did it or can does?

also, will another buck "scrape" another bucks scrape?

I can't wait til sat--last saturday I ruined it and bumped a deer by the scrape going in. this time, I am backing off and waiting tight.

I have not seen a doe actually dig in a scrape like a buck.I know they will make their mark and smell it sometimes.A buck will freshen another bucks scrape especially if it is the dominant buck he will also tear up the limbs above and around it because some other buck is in his terf.

Good question !
I've heard they sniff at them and pee in them, but I don't know if they scratch at them.

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

No, but they "Cha" Cha pretty good.

I have seen them lick the licking branch and urinate in a scrape but never seen one actually scrape the scrape.
