    Out for a lil recon after my sit and noticed 2 scrapes 2 ft × 2 ft in diameter 2 ft apart with 2 different licking branches and 1 licking pole about 5 ft from the scrapes. The scrapes are not on the field edge but in the timber. Any ideas? Never seen scrapes like that with different licking branches. Plus I have rub lines that start at 1 end of 20 acre timber and ends at the other end. Also never seen 17 rubs pretty much in line with 1 another across 20 acres. Multiple bucks? Same buck? Could be this buck I call Panama red I have on cam eating about every bud off of every marijuana plant on the property hahaha....Pry forgot he already made a scrape there and needs the rub line to find his way through the woods. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks!!

    I set by a tree with 6 scrapes and 6 licking branch's today, one scrape is the size of a car hood. Watched 1 small buck and 3 does come by and work them this morning.

    It's a vertical stick bucks use to lick and leave scent. Kinda like the licking branch over the scrape but no scrape

    Is the car hood scrape by itself and does it have a licking branch? If so be cautious in ur approach to that stand. It's a primary scrape and u need to freshen it wait a day then go back and I'll bet he's about 100 yrds from it watching and checking on it. It's his baby, he made it and loves it. Just my opinion I'm no expect but it's worked for me in the past
