RE: Scrape Activity

They still visit scrapes in the chase mode also. I used to think differently until i got a trail cam a few years back.

The quick ones alongside fields and travel routes with no overhead branch.

I don't recall ever seeing a true whitetail scrape without a licking branch???? Guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but even the "quick ones" alongside field edges always have them. Am I missing something here?

Now it is my understanding that once does go into heat that bucks will stop using scrapes for a few weeks.

This isnt always the case.

May not be the norm, and I am certainly not the one to correct you cause Im not sure either, but I have 100% found and seen scrapes made by deer without a licking branch anywhere to be found...Not sure how common it is, but they do exist.
