RE: Rubs and Scrapes
Im like jimpic when it comes to rubs and scrapes. A rub is on a tree, a scrap is on the ground. Jimpic pretty much explained it. Another sign to look for when scouting is beds. Look for a place under brush or low brached trees that looks like it has been swept. If you find where they are bedding you have a good Idea as to where they will be coming back to. A good way to bring bucks to you is to find out when the rut starts and get a set of rattling horns. Rattle for about 30sec to a min.. During that time Scrape the brush around you and I even know guys who stomp the ground as well. Wait for about thirty min. before doing it agian. If bucks are around they will usually try to find the fight. Good luck.
