Education here now...........
Scrapes are areas on the ground where bucks paw the soil away with their hooves. They can vary in size from as small as a foot and a half wide to sometimes seven or eight feet. They are most often made and maintained prior to the rut. Deer make and maintain scrapes as a way to communicate with other deer. They leave their scent by urinating over their back legs onto the tarsal glands. Then they rub their tarsal glands together and squeeze urine over the scrape. This leaves a strong distinct smell of that buck in the scrape.

As BF put it, they put their foot in it after they pee in it...........sounds like my kind of guy............NOT!!
This is a buck scrape
