I think that is kind of the point he is trying to make....If you find the scrapes he is talking about in areas with alot of pressure and areas without alot of monsters, then you should look at it very carefully if you do find it because not alot of other bucks could be making those types scrapes, other than 2.5+ year old bucks. And in pressured areas and areas that do not typically have big bucks, finding a 2.5+ year old is at least a step toward increasing your odds of killing a nice buck...it just kind of narrows the field down.
