Scrapes? Rublines? Trails?

Trails. I have heard rublines aren't productive and hunting right on a scrape is not a good idea either.

Definitely the trails, better percentages. But I like to hunt the between a good scrape and a bedding area if I know there is a monster around.

Trails or oak trees that are dropping nuts.

Usually the rublines will be found along a trail. Scrapes USUALLY get hit at night, so I try to hunt interesecting trails.

I've had a lot more success hunting trails. I'm always looking for an area where the terrain forces the deer to concetrate their movement thus giving me many more shot opportunities. I usually find rubs and scrapes close by.
