A real scrape consists of a licking limb, an oval shaped pawed up area directly under the licking limb, a hoof print in the middle of the scrape, and an actual scent a deer leaves behind when making the scrape. The buck scrape is considered to be the most important part of the whitetail breeding cycle. A buck will make a scrape to let other bucks know that this is his territory, but the main purpose is to give the female deer (doe) a chance to urinate in his scrape. The doe leaves her scent in the scrape and when the buck comes back to scrape he can smell a hot doe and pick up her trail. It is important for a buck to find the doe while she is capable of being bred during her 36 hour period of ovulation. This makes it imperative for the buck to find the doe quickly. Whitetail make scrapes all times of the year as a way to mark their territory, but as the rut approaches these scrapes become a hunters best friend.

Buck rubs are another key ingredient of a deer's life. Usually, a buck will find a tree from one to five inches in diameter and rub his antler's on it until the bark comes off the tree to mark his territory. Bucks make rubs in highly visible areas, so that other deer may see them and know they are approaching another buck's zone. Biologists have found that a buck is actually leaving his forehead scent on the rub which helps him advertise his domain through visual signs and distinct scent.
