    I saw my first scrape of the season a couple days ago on a customer's property. It even had droppings in it. Anybody else in Pa seeing scrapes and or rubs?

    I snapped these two for rubs and this last one for scrapes, yesterday afternoon before I got into my stand.

    I have been seeing scrapes and rubs popping up all over in SW Pa , I have a mock scrape set up and had a 9pt come in and work it in shooting light one evening. Been seeing them in multiple spots I hunt. It's getting closer to that time!

    Saw my first in Illinois on Sunday morning. Just happened to be right in front of the stand I didn't hunt. Checked my camera, it was the number 2 buck on my hope-list right at sunrise.

    About 3 or 4 years ago I made a mock scrape in front of my 2 man with my own pee and every year since bucks continue to use it. Last weekend I went to start the process and found a buck had beat me to it

    I didn't see any this past weekend on the public land I hunt in central WI. Probably explains the lack of deer sighting also. Last year was a record high in deer sightings for me there.

    Northern WI, Marinette area, been seeing a lot of rubs and have some smaller bucks on all 3 cameras, did some mock scrapes, one by a cam setup, but walked through the woods to my dad's stand and had a large scrape I had never seen before...hoping for good rut action!

    I haven't seen any yet in SE OH but I'm going to set my scrape drippers up Thursday when I go out.
