Forget the scrapes...hunt the does. That's where the bucks will be.

You were rattling in during pre rut when all the bucks were setting up thier pecking order. This is the best time to rattle.

Now you can abandon all the normal areas that bucks go like, scraps, rubs, bedding areas, feeding areas. They want one thing and only one thing now does!!!

Like JRW said hunt the does and the bucks won't be far behind!!!

I agree. We're now in the rut. Almost in the post rut here. If you want the big boy, you need to make him think you're a doe in heat. I use Doe esterus urine and the Can by Primos Hunting calls. If the buck is bedded with a doe already, you're not going to have much luck. But if he's in between does, he'll come running to that call. Just be ready to have him circle downwind of you to catch your scent. Put out a scent holder of somekind where you want him to come to. Call every 15 minutes and if there's a buck without a doe within 100 yards of you, he'll show up. Good Luck.
