Scrape Activity

[Cabin Fever]

I started a few mock scrapes in mid-Sept and they've gotten attention. I found a few half-assed scrapes over the past week. While out checking cams today, I passed by several spots that historically have scrapes. They were all torn up! Out of curiosity, I took a walk into my small fields (old foodplots) and looked at a few tree limbs that I purposely left there during my final mowing of the summer, to either entice bucks to make a scrape under or for me to start mock scrapes. Every one of them have a torn up scrape under! I walked my ATV paths and every limb that I left hanging in the path have a scrape also! They are tearing them up!

I found one the other day, but usually they will start around the middle of this month, my two always a scrape spots are untouched so far.

Tis the season.

I sat the last 2 hours after work today and watched a fork horn make a scape.

I was at the Erie County Re-Forestation project on Genesee Rd the other day and saw a scrape as big as a Feightliner hood........GAWD would I like to hunt that spot!

A few smaller scrapes withing 3-40 yards lit my wick too.

Was out doing some in-season scouting the other day and came across a nice scrape right under a pine branch.

The best part is there was an awesome place to put up a stand little less than 20 yards away!!!

Just whip it out and pee in it. That's it for scent anyways.

Still no fresh buck sign by me up in 4L.  The does are here, so it's probably best to wait for the bucks to arrive in a couple of weeks, and scout for buck sign elsewhere.

I did start a mock scrape, but only a forkie checks it out, and the the other, used scrape has been maintained by me only.  I've used buck urine, as well as my own in both spots.

mid October if they're scrapes near cover/bedding hunt them.  if they're scrapes at edges of main ag fields or food plots then it might be a lost cause getting on bucks.  they might not be working them during daylight.  come rut any scrape can get hit at any time of day but I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket hunting over one then versus other reasons for a stand location.

I agree, good place for a camera though
