hey everyone i'm new herebut been reading and gathering info from this forum for a while now and decided to become part of the community. i currenty have a cabin sitting on 20 acres in Harrison Michigan the property consist of acorn trees and has low valley(hilly), i have been bow hunting off and on for the past 10 yrs there and only have got a few small does while hunting over bait piles. this is the first year that i have really gotten serious in hunting and have actually scouted my small property. last month(september) my girlfriend and i scouted the area and found 3 scrapes and one rub the scrapes weresmall about a foot in length and 4 inches wide.well we setup2 cameras on the areas with the biggest scrapes and went back the next week and got nopictures on one of the scrapes and got a pic of a 4 point in the area of the second scrape.so we decided to move the camera with no pics, coincidentally we found another scrape and this one was alot bigger, probly a good 3ft in diameterwell i decided to set up a tree blind in this area and a camera, went back the next weekend which was opening day and in disappointmentafter checking the cameras there were no pics taken on either one and the scrapes didn't look like they were touched, also while hunting did not see a thing. Through the month of september on my property i have gotten roughly 20 pics of deer most of the pics were down in a valley were i noticed beddding areas so i placed a corn feeder there along with one of my cameras, here i captured a picture of numerous does and of one spike buck close to the corn feeder and walking through the bedding area, i also have a pic of the 4 point in the area of one of the scrapes.Three out of the 4 scrapesi have setup up thesecond camera on diferent weekends and have not caught a pic of anything and like i said the scrapes look like they were nvr touched again. I'm stilla newbie when it comes to scouting but i thought that a scrape is ussually revisted.anotherproblem i think i might haveis my stands and cameras arent to far from my cabin (considering i only have 20 acres)but these areas definatly havedeer signs, in the two area that i have setup my tree blinds there are signs like trails, deer droppings, bedding and scrapes andone rub ifound.My worry is i have a generator that i use to power my cabin and i'm wondering if this is spooking the deer, maybe the traffic in and out of my cabin is aslo but not sure. there are people in the area that have spoted a 8 point hopefully i catch him lurking through my property. all in all what do you guys make of the scrapes do you think its the 4 point trying to mark its territory because there is a spike int he area? why do you think the scrapes arent being revisted?would it be wiserfor me to hunt the beddign areas or the scrapes? sorry this is so long but in september i was a very excited hunter when i seen all thesigns and pictures i captured now i feel more frustrated then ever. i will begoing back up on the 14th so i can hunt friday, and saturday.
