Default Scrapes

"Community Scrapes"

What can you tell me about them?

I've been doing alot of scouting this winter and found an area that looks great.

On the North end of the property there is a TON of runs that all come together, and along the main run that goes through the area, I've found a couple scrapes that are still being worked. There's an OLD rut scrape that is still barely there as well.

On the South end of the property is a doe bedding area and this "Main run" seems to connect the two ends of the property. If you walk this North-South run, you'll seem some massive rubs (as big around as my thigh) with the North side of the trees being rubbed all the way to the bedding area. This run also has a couple scrapes that, like I said, are still being used.

So my question is this: What kind of activity do you usually see in these "Community Scrapes" that are still being worked right now? Will they continue to use them all year? Will they peak in Oct/Nov.? Is there any real significance to them? Certain times to hunt them? Do YOU hunt them or just forget about them?
