Is anyone seeing any prelim scrapes. Normally I see the majority of my scrapes begin after the first new moon in the fall, but the new moon usually falls aroundOct 8-15th, this year the 3rd. So nothing is popping up. Anyone seeing anything yet. A week ago, I saw small bucks still bunched up, Wed night I saw one of my small 6's alone.

How about you, what are you seeing?

Thanks,

I have found 1 scrape so far, and I have seen no bucks on stand, so far I have seen 13 does in 3 hunts. I found some buck prints leading into the stand corn, but that is about it for buck sign, other than the one scrape.

Starting to see rubs where I am but no scrapes yet. I suspect they will start to appear soon.

i've got an 8pt,a 6 and 2 spikes and plenty of doesi've been watching since august. last weekend the 8 came 20 yards in front of my stand at dark[:@]. as far as scrapes, i haven't seen any yet

I went hunting 3 weeks ago. Saw 1 rub line with 3 rubs, but that was about it. I'm going out tomarrow, and will see more then.

Im seeing some rubs but no scrapes yet. Seeing lots of does and only small bucks so far. I look for it all to change in about 2 weeks. good luck.

You called?

I haven't been able to go out yet. Next weekend, after I get to go hunting, I'll post up on what I see and if I get one.

I found one scrape this evening, it looked a little old actually. It is hard to tell though, because it has rained for the last couple of days. Maybe he will come meet mr. Slick Trick there in the morning.

Got a ton of what I call "fringe" scrapes -- surely all nightime activity around field edges.

I saw three BIG bucks together last night. Of course, I was in my truck instead of my stand.
