You still haven't given us much on what you are doing. However, have you been hunting the same spot for 5 years? If so, you probably should find another spot. Just because there are scrapes doesn't assure you that you will see buck while hunting. You want to find a funnel area, that is a place where deer move from one place to another from different directions, my spot has deer coming and going from 4 directions to bedding and feeding areas. Do not put your stand near a bedding area orwalk through it. If the times you aren't hunting are not productive, change the times you are in the stand. You must adjust your hunting to the deers habits or patterns, not the other way around, in addition, deer change patterns depending on what time of the year it is. Pay attention in the stand. I know people who spend their time reading or playing on their smart phone. They should stay at home because they do not see what is going on around them and wonder what they fail. In addition, taking a doe is sucess, it doen't have to be a buck. In fact a big old doe is smarter than the buck so there is no same in taking one. Of course, I hunt for fun and meat, not for bone.
