Default RE: Bedded Near Scrape

im excited to hunt my scrape at school. hunt the active scrape dripper wed in a rain storm. rained all day...perfect to wash away my scent even though i soaked down and showered before hanging it. one week there was some rubs started and a little hint of a scrape starting. the next week i found 3 more scrapes and the rubbing is getting heavier. think i found his bed too. i hung the dripper because i think hed be HARD to kill without it. figured it cant hurt..and should only help. he beds not about 100yds away if its him i seen sneaking out of the backdoor of the bed. could been a doe..i dont know for sure but its dead downwind of the scrapes...if it wasnt nasty out that day i woulda stayed and seen if he caught a hint of the dripper. man i bet its driving him nuts. hunting him tuesday evening and wed morning i think. i wanna hunt like a TV hunt. climb up the tree..hit the can a couple times and the grunt call..maybe tickle the rattling antlers together and he comes busting in there..and there i am..20foot above him..10yds away..razor sharp muzzy sent through the lungs.....im excited...just hope i aint let down..i know its a bittt early..but we will see what happens. he thinks a hot doe and another buck are using his scrape right now..i wont be surprised to find the area tore up..

my buddy had a basket 8pt come in today at 10am. he had doe urine on a whick hanging in a tree..buck came in nose in the air and walked straight to it..though a 1.5yr old buck and probably more curious then anything it wont be long...wont be long. the next 2 weeks is when i usually see alot of bucks..while doe hunting with the flinter and then fall turkey hunting..hope my streak continues now that im bowhunting
