In my mind im not sure if that theory holds water. Im no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but here is my reasoning. It could be a distinct possibility that the proprty has a bunch of yearly bucks (spikes, forks, basket racks, whatever) but they are still bucks. Yearling bucks still make scrapes and rub trees. Maybe not as much, maybe more than mature bucks, i have no idea. Doesnt really matter, a buck is a buck for the most part, and rubbing and scraping is one things bucks do. Just my thoughts on the topic.

It is interesting that this subject was brought up cause the one property that i hunt, which is still a great property and produces good bucks, just doesnt seem to be what it was 3-4 years ago. Back then, it didnt matter what time you walked to your stand, you were going to see deer. If you only saw 6-8 deer a sit, you had a "slow" night. There were rubs and scrapes everywhere. My buddy and i are the only people who hunt there, its in a subdivision, but there just doesnt seem to be the same amount of deer or sign, and we only take 2-3 deer out of there a year. One thing is for certain, whitetail deer hunting sure makes you think.
