Where should I set up?

[Northcountryman]

Found a spot off a trail with a lot of scrapes and a few rubs. Seemed the scrapes were kind of concentrated in a line parallel to the trail and rubs nearby too. My question is , should I setup right over this scrape line or just off of it? I see a lot of oaks in the area and beech and about 200 yards away, looked like an evergreen stand . Also, some old apple trees nearby maybe 30 yards from most of the scrapes but looked dead to me . What do you think? 
 

Thanks so much,

Downwind of the scrapes.

Downwind and depending on weapon(gun,bow)  ide sit off the scrape line 25-50yards where i can see atleast a couple of the scrapes if possible.

What is in pics 3 and 4?  A landmine?  That's one way to get 'em!

Did u find any trails leading to the scrapes coming from bedding ? That's what I would look forn

The vast majority of scrape activity is night time. I am not saying it won't get used during the day at all but there are way better places to concentrate on than a scrape.

hunt where the deer are not where they've been. sign only helps you figure that out.

Best scrapes that get my attention are if close to bedding or a good food source

I believe there is a bedding area close by , I saw a faint trail leading to some evergreens which looked like it could be but not sure , didn’t wanna bump anything so I didn’t get too close . Should I go in closer ? 
 

Btw , that landline you see is An old porcelain dish buried ; deer musta scraped down and discovered it and started pawing at it lol

Hiked in yesterday to setup a drip bag , possible stand setups and scope out the bedding area and I found 2 major runs in a line leading to this : looks like a bedding area and body imprint to me, what do you think ? Kinda hard to tell but maybe?
