Found first scrape - now what
Whoa.... Finaly found buck sign in my hunting area. It was raining last night so rather than sit in the stand, I scouted some new areas. I found a nice scrape (2-3' dia) and 10 yrds away another smaller one. There was also some small sapplings broke int he area. It was getting dark so couldn't scout more. I GPS'd the spot and picked a tree with good back cover and out a camera on the scrape. I think I should be good with not leaving scent because it rained ffor most of the night. What do you think - How soon should I get out there and hunt this scrape? What time of the day? My gut says ASAP! The bucks should be checking scrapes for any scent of a ready doe. One problem is I don't think I could find the spot in the darkness of morning with out making a racket. I might try Wed. afternoon?
