According to one deer researcher and thebreeding dates by latitude -

"The scraping phase should be on for whitetails in MANY (not all) areas above the 38th parallel. This is when the bucks are most likely to be semi-predictable (as to time and place) as they travel their rub routes, making rubs and scrapes - and looking for estrus does. It is a great time to hunt near rub routes, scrapes, staging areas and food sources - in the mornings and evenings. Be sure to get there at least an hour before you might expect to see any deer."

bucks have been rubbing and scraping here since the beginning of September.

The scrapes/rubs have picked up here my area of Illinois.

I found several rubs yesterday Northeast TN.

In NE Indiana, we've had scrapes for several weeks now...and rubs from late September on. There have been multiple mornings where I've watched a spike, 4, two 6's and two 8's freshen up their scrapes. It's only taken me until yesterday to figure out I had to move a stand to get 20 yards closer to get a great shot at one of the 8's.
