Hunted one of my new woods yesterday that i had only been in twice before. I hung my stand one day and hunted in in the next and killed an 11 pointer the day after thanksgiving. Yesterday i went out and got to where i set up a natural ground blind and on the way back to my spot i found a big scrape line and an acorn patch that i didnt know was there. So anyway i didnt even hunt i went back to the truck and got my aerial photographs and marked everything and found some creek crossings and funnels with heavy deer tracks. i did manage to see some deer out in the fields. another question i had is i found a big pile of white deer hair in the field. Do they just loose there hair somtime or is it a missed shot from somone else? I did find a ladderstand in the woods and im the only one allowed to hunt it so i left him a note with my phone number and took the 15 foot ladder stand. any input on the hair would be appreciated

I'd say the hair is from a missed shot as well. Nice going taking that stand. That will teach the scumbag.[:@]

here is a pic of the scrape and the hair

The hair might be from a buck fight.

That is not a scrape. THAT IS A MONSTER RUB!!!!!!!

there was 2 seprate piles of hair about 5 foot apart now that i think about it. im working on the other pics of the rubs and scrapes i found

Two seperate tufts of hair might just well be a fight. That's a good thing.

Nice rubs, Looks like ya found a good spot. Good luck with it.
