Rare Night Footage of 8 Point Whitetail Buck Working a Scrape

Have you ever seen a buck work scrape like this? This nighttime trail cam footage captures an active scrape being worked by an 8 point whitetail buck in rut. You'll also notice the buck urinating multiple times on it's back legs. This is known as uring the breeding season, deer will rub-urinate, a process during which a deer squats while urinating so that urine will run down the insides of the deer's legs. The deer then rubs its metatarsal glands together, rubbing the urine into the tuft of hair found at this location. Secretions from the metatarsal gland mix with the urine and bacteria to produce a strong-smelling odor. Enjoy this and let us know if you'd like to see more videos like this.
