I havent had much time to scout much yet, but I know at this time of year last year, there were scrapes... I made a mock scrape over my camera, so we will see when I get up there.

can always use a scent, just a matter of which one is right to use etc...

I'd say NO,
not until you see them in the chase phase.
Maybe some regular doe urine,or a food scent would be good.
If apple trees happen to be around your area use them.
When I lived in Up-State N.Y. this time of year I went to the store and bought a bag of apples and quartered them the night before.
Then I dumped them on the ground about 30 yards from my stand,
and that almost always worked for me.

Yes, there are lots of apple trees in my area but; its illegal to bait in NY so that would be a no go. I think i might give some buck urine a shot
