Post-Rut rubs/scrapes
The spot I bow hunt I stayed out of during rifle season because the owner's son rifle hunts. Upon going in there after 2 weeks absence I could not believe all the rubs and scrapes 60 yards to the north of my treestand. I have good bucks on camera too during these two weeks. I am worried since the rut is over now that I may never see some of these bucks again. Before the rut all I was seeing were does and dink bucks and I fear that's all I will see now. My question is...will some of these big bucks still visit these scrapes to see if any does are coming into heat late? Or will they return to their core areas which I believe is on the neighbors property?
