I have a lot of cats through my acreage and have never noticed any 'cat scratches'. Better off running your property after snows and looking for tracks...then follow them for quite a distance. Youll get a good perspective of their routes. Good luck tomorrow . ..

All tracks, whether deer or other, are not defined. Last edited by AJE; 12/25/22 04:28 PM.
