RE: It's started to fire up in SE Iowa.
NW corner of the state here, and we've been noticing some pretty extreme ground scrapes on the edges of our deer plot. I've also seen some very nice scrapes on trees as well. We have a lot of activity in the morning, and I can watch half a dozen doe at night, but haven't seen any bucks. I've got my Moultrie tree cam over the biggest scrape but am having troubles with the camera. This scrape started out at 2-3 square feet and is easily nearing 10 sq ft, with at least half a dozen other small ones near by, so the activity is there, I just can't time it.
