According to the articles and graphs on T.R.Michels "Peak Whitetail Rut Dates"page at
www.trmichels.com/RutDates.htm the scraping phase, which isoften when bucks aresemi-predictable during daylight hours,should start about now.There are breeding dates and graphs of breeding seasons, for all states on there.
It is a great time to pattern and huntbucks along rub lines and near scrapes in wooded areas.
