Very strange!
 
Yesterday evening I killed (lung shot) a nice doe 17yrds from my stand. I go back in this afternoon to try to kill a buck and when I get up in my stand I notice a brand new scrape that wasn't there yesterday. It was located EXACTLY where that doe was standing when I shot her yesterday evening! I couldn't believe it. I thought this was either a very strange coincidence or it was done very intentionally? Is it possible my shooting that doe triggered a release of some kind of odor that could have attracted a buck, hence the scrape?

i would say just coincidence

A buck scrape is teritorial, and i really dont think that a buck would even scrape if the doe was in estorious.."does that make scence" Deffinatly shooting a doe doesnt have anything to do with the buck makeing the scrape, i think that is coinsadenle but i would arrow that buck soon..!! Good luck and thanks for sharing..

Oh and Congrats on the Doe kill!!

that is pretty weird, hopefully you'll see how big that buck is making the scrape!

Coincidence IMO. But that is wierd.

if it was on a well used deer run, then it is just pure coincidence that they scraped there. remember...does can scrape too so that doesn't mean a buck did it!

To the original question... very well a possibility.

Early in -
I'd say there is something to your story - the same happened to me this past weekend. I shot a doe on Friday Afternoon - The shot felt good, but I watched her on her feet for 20 minutes (basically standing in 1 spot) before she slowly went into the brush. I decided to wait till morning, to look - Found here in 5 minutes Saturday Morning - Nothing too spectacular - but I was glad and releived.

But..... to get to your point.....

Sunday afternoon I hunted the same stand - and I had 4 new scrapes on the roadway food plot where I shot her and dragged her out to load on to a 4 wheeler the previous morning. Ones scrape was literally on the spot where I drained the doe's body cavity of blood before loading on the ATV.

I don't think it was all a coincidence. She was a mature doe - and I think the bucks were reacting to her scent.

What did her tarsals look like?

My guess is....pure coincidence.
