Does anybody know what this pawed out spot under this low hanging limb could be?

I discovered it late yesterday afternoon while making the rounds.

If you were a little farther north, possibly a Bison Wallow.
Do you have cattle or other animals that might do that?

Yes. Hair and tracks.

Plus some of the green twigs broken off the overhead limb.

Another hint: This happens every year about this time and always in nearly the same place.

It’s hard to tell from this far away Coach, BUT I’m going to describe what y’all hunters already are bound to be thinking. Looks to me like a buck scrape, especially as they frequently like ‘em under a branch like you’re describing. Which they then love to practice being ticked off and fighting that branch, frequently breaking off twigs when they do, leaving their scent on it when doing so. And then somewhere in close proximity should be rubs on the saplings around it and along the trail as they come and go. As the rut gets “ruttier”, the old boy will keep it cleaned out of leaves and sticks, check it every day (seems to me usually in pitch black night) and always take a leak in the scrape, as will his girlfriend(s) so he can sniff it to know she’s “ready”. Whenever I’ve been hunting with and educating my children, friends’ kids and other hunters about these sorts of things, I’ve always encouraged them to kneel and sniff the scrape to confirm what the liquid on a leaf is, just for the experience…..and fun. Many times I’ve added a few drops of fresh, “100%doe-in-heat” scent to increase the old boy’s interest.
Along the trail and within a clear bow, handgun or whatever shot is a great place to make a blind or tree stand.
Anyway, too much info, BUT on a beautiful fall day like today it helps me out just to put this “short version” down. Especially when I’m looking again at Tom’s recent 10 pointer. Great bow shot Tom…..all the way through and exit?
Beautiful!

Alex, I’ll take duke for the win. With a little bit of Larry’s answer just for insurance.
Did I hit?
