maybe for scrapes...but I've seen plenty of rubs already simply to get rid of the velvet though. JDinAB

Never too early........bucks are always looking for does to come into heat, that is one of the reasons they shed there velvet, they are gettiing ready for the breeding season..........The correct remark would be too early to hunt the scrapes!

Found our first scrapes this past Sunday while setting out a CamTrakker. Haven't seen much for rubs, but I'm sure they're out there.

IN GA Rubs always appear around the first of Sept. Scrapes generally start showing up right about now.
