Nope, none on the trails yet. But they might be doing it deeper in the woods this year.

It's hard to see what's going on in the woods when I'm stuck in my dorm room [&:].

Not NY, but in Ont/Quebec (not that Far from NY) some scraping and rubbing has started. I have my Trail cam setup on a traditional scrape line/Travel coridor, and some scrapes/rubbing has started, but not a ton, and seems to be more smaller bucks than the big lads yet.

Nothing yet where I'm at. I am going out to another part that I hunt and check around next week.

I took a final check of my stands (12 of them) yesterday with the pruning pole. Two of my stands had fresh scrapes withing 5 yards of them! I counted 4 more edge scrapes around the fields that the deer frequent at night. I also got a video of a "rack" last night early passing one of my trail cams. Man I am getting the itch!
