1st signs of scrapes
 

I saw some initial signs of scrapes on a scape line that is used every year. Just some slight pawings in some of the usual places. Have others seen any scrape signs in NY???

I hunted the north zone opener and saw a total of 3 small rubs and 1 pile of crap in close to 2 miles of walking thru some of the usually popular areas. Not a single scrape nor a pawing. HMMMMMMMMMM

What part of the state are you in? Have you seen any of the classic rut signs yet?

I went out looking for sign for the first time on Friday along the outskirts of a thick bedding area across the road from my house. I saw around 20-25 rubs and 4 or 5 scrapes along the borders of the surrounding alfalfa fields. One scrape was pretty big and was all dug up and full of tracks. All the others looked kinda stale. Hopefully things are gonna heat up pretty quick.
