    So you guys on this forum have been great for hearing opinions of actual hunters and so I have another question. I was hunting this evening and found 2 scrapes within 100yds of each other and I don't know what to do about that. Do I sit by them and wait for the buck to come back? or what? Anything is helpful, thanks

    Sit by them definitely, I would do a little scouting and even setup a trail cam on those scrapes if you can.

    I would set up a trail cam to see what is coming by and when.

    Hunt 'em... but set up downwind of them.
    Bucks usually check out scrapes from that perspective before engaging them.
