Deer are relatively large animals and often will leave sign that alert us to their presence. Deer droppings and tracks are easily identifiable by most people. The presence of deer sign clearly indicates that deer were present in a field, but it does not necessarily mean that deer were the primary cause of damage. This is especially true of raccoon damage to corn. Deer often will frequent sites damaged by raccoons, and damage caused by raccoons often is incorrectly attributed to deer since the physical signs left by raccoons can be overlooked whereas deer sign is usually conspicuous.
