RE: Are hunting scrapes a bet this pre-rut?
I have to agree with others. If I find several scrapes in an area I will study the other deer sign in the area, trails, rubs and try to set up on well used trails or crossings. Then I will lay a scent trail on the way to my stand. This tactic Has worked for me many times. Most recently resulting in the harvesting of 2 P&Y bucks.
