All deer use licking branches all year round. The scrape underneath is only a rut-season addition. In essence, the location of licking branches determines where scrapes will occur during the rut.

Thank you. Wonder if bucks are using the trail right now. Rarely see any in the back yard but who knows what's out at night

I think a doe. Tarsal glands are not stained.

It's a buck not fat enough to be a doe

Some does stain their tarsals, and even bucks that heavily stained their tarsals during the rut this last year may have completely clean tarsals by this late into winter.

I'm gonna say buck as well. If not, it's a very lean doe.
