Crazy Scrape Activity
Went down and scouted our southern tier farms this weekend and could not believe the scrape and rub activity, it was like the 30th of oct. down there. I have never seen activity like that in the past, hopefulyl it is a good sign for the upcoming season. Anyone else seeing this yet?

RE: Crazy Scrape Activity
Was up at Hickory Run over the weekend and saw a bunch of doe. No buck however, saw two scrapes....could not believe.
Does anyone know if this is a sign of...say lots of buck or perhaps it is only one young buck getting excited? I would love to know a bit more about what it could signal.

I don't think it signals anything. Just bucks being bucks. I always start a mock scrape in September and the bucks start to use it immediately. Just all part of nature taking it's course.

I just went to see Gary Alsheimer speak, and he did state that bucks will scrape throughout the year, I would assume much much less when not rutting of course. I have seen a few screape as well. It may not necessarily mean that they wrer made due to rutting activity though.
