Scrapes
I was clipping some shooting lanes (can't hunt Sundays) this past weekend and actually saw 2 small scrapes with little rubs on saplings. I thought it was a tad early for this? Must be the young guys are getting fiesty already. :happy0001:

oddly enough , here in the midwest I see the same, all signs point to very early rut, including the "lul" that isnt supposed to happen until next week, we are already into it.

Deer Scrape will poke the eye glands in sticks almost all summer into fall. it's once there velvet falls off and there testosterone levels start to rise in the mid september that can trigger them to start scraping that the ground as well as poking their eye glads.. Where i live in ohio usually september 10 or so they start showing up and by now they have 10 or 15 on every low limb they can find.

Two rubs just showed up in my back yard yesterday.. But the bad thing is, the deer are only moving at night.. Dam full moon...
|
I have several scrapes here in western pa. Its very typical for this time of year though
|
Saw several scrapes in S. IL this week too.
|
Found two generational scrapes and rubs yesterday in Pine City.
|
Yep found one scrape so far here also. Buckeyehunter140 has got it right. See the same thing around here.

found scrapes and plenty of rubs last weekend here on eastern shore

All the bucks that where showing up on my cameras last week are just gone.... Nothing is showing up now and not seeing any deer out hunting... This weather needs the break. they are saying Monday or so it will be cooling off... I think this year is going to be a tuff year of hunting... All the apple trees got frosted this spring so there are no apple for them to come and eat like they usually do.. Nothing is hanging around... This happened a couple years ago also and didn't see many deer that year also...
|
My step mom told me 2 bucks were fighting in their yard @ sundown 2 nights ago.
I'm ready for the cool down too V8Ranger. From high 70's yesterday and today to killing frost by Monday. Skeeters tore me up opening night, but it doesn't help that I was hunting along the Susquehanna. |
here in west michigan i found a a scrape line 20 yards from my stand. So i made a mock scrap close to where he had been making them to see if he would take it over. Went out yesterday morning to check it, there was fresh urine and his tracks in it!
|
Ive never done a mock... Do you use a drip, or spray?
