Sometimes you just get a feeling the scrub has been trodden on and disturbed . This is more in open areas and by river banks. If there are few deer around small plants just look fresher and more exuberant. Goats do the same but even more so. You see trails where animals have pushed through the scrub even if they dont leave much definite sign in the ground.
This is on top of seeing plants actually eaten or fresh droppings or hoof marks.
