Deer hunting
Habitats: the buck stops here

Finding and exploiting deer scrapes
Sometimes bucks will scrape the ground to eat mushrooms or whatever is growing there. In these situations, such scrapings are not to be exploited by the hunter. Michel explains the clues that allow us to identify the strategic scrapings that are of interest to us. (Video in French only)
