RE: rubs and scraps
usually in October you should start seeing some SCRAPES and Rubs. Some deer will make SCRAPES all year long, these are social scrapes.

RE: rubs and scraps
Sorry BigTim, gotta bust your chops a little!! You spend a lot of time on this site (3300 posts) and we're explaining rubs and scrapes to you? You just get confused between the two or something? Just checking!![8D]
Anyway, deer will begin to rub trees as they start to remove the velvet from their antler's in the late summer. This will continue on through the year, on and off, as the bucks use these rubs to 'mark their home territory' and for scent dispersal for communication. Some will argue that bucks also use saplings as a way to strengthen neck muscles which are important when sparring/fighting for the rights to breed a doe come breeding season.
