Deer Scrape
A deer scrape is made by a buck. The buck will work the ground usually down to the bare dirt as a visual sign to other bucks that he considers this area his unless a larger buck comes along and runs him off. Smaller bucks will typically understand from the sight and scents left in a scrape that this buck is either larger and older than them or similar in size at which point the new buck may challenge the resident. You can fool a buck by creating a mock scrape as a challenge to his hierarchy.
