I'm seeing nothing as far as pre-rut activity in my area. I went out on a limb today and made a mock scrape near my stand, complete with licking branch and then emptied my bladder in it. I've heard guys here say that even human urine works, that deer cannot tell the difference.
I'm not hunting that spot for awhile so I will see if anything visits the scrape. If it is covered in leaves when I return, I will know.
I'll report on my findings.
The stand isn't working out like I had hoped so I am hunting elsewhere for awhile.
