RE: big scrape! (pic)
JD ,
I'm not sure what side of this fence I'm on since far northern bucks are very different from southern Indiana bucks , but that would be a very impressive size for a territorial/marking type of scrape here . The photo doesn't render enough detail to judge accurately , but those branches would be on the small floppy side for licking branches . The ground also doesn't appear to be denuded enough for a T/M scrape either , it looks more like a feeding spot in this shot .
Do you have any more detailed pics to examine ?
