Normally this time of year the scrapes that we see mean absolutely nothing more than a buck stood there and scraped the ground. Nervous tension scrapes with no adgenda. Don't mistake these early scrapes with the ones that will pop up come late October. On occassion there will be a scrape that was used the year prior that will open up, but don't get too excited yet. You know that there was a buck there but, they're not hot. Unless you see evidence of urination and scat in them with the licking branch chewed all to hell and back, it means little to nothing.
