Don' t worry about it....I' m getting a little anxious myself. I' m heading to Vernon county for two days of turkey hunting this weekend. That ought to calm my nerves.

A scrape line is just what you think it is; a series of scrapes that form a line. I' ve found them to be more productive vs. hunting just, say, one large scrape. They seem to get active early and stay that way. In this part of Missouri, we find scrape lines in fingers of woods and trees in CRP fields. It is a little unusual to find them in October, but if you do, you' re usually set for a good hunt.

If I were you, I' d try and hunt the first week of October.
