firearm season starts in 2 weeks for me. Ive been going out and sitting though, just to see what I can see. And so far its a typical year for me. I see deer just about everyday. Now the place where Im hunting is tore up with rubs and scrapes. the biggest rubs are probably on 7-9 inch diameter trees, and the scrapes are about as big as a car hood. The licking branches above some of the scrapes have fresh limb breaks that are well above my head, and Im 5ft 8 inches. so I guess we will see.
