    Just wondering if anyone in Iowa has been finding rubs/scraps yet? If so what part of the state are you located? Here in S.E Iowa I haven't found any action yet. The crops are just now coming out around here ... hoping that things will start picking up. :rock:

    I'm in Marion County. Nothing I have seen. A few fresh rubs that I assume was from velvet shedding. Still having pics of bucks traveling together.
    It wont be long though.

    Good luck. The time is almost here!

    I haven't been on the property for quite a while, intentionally. But I will post after this weekend if I see something good in Decatur.

    You can also check the Midwest Whitetail Team IA blog, they should have recent info from the pro staff about what they are seeing.

    I set my cams on scrapes 3 weeks ago. I know where a few pop up each year and they open up as soon as the velvet comes off. I also started a couple of my own that took right off.
