Hillbilly Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I might be wrong, but I read in a book that some bucks might make scrapes 2 months before the rut. They will do this to get a pin point of all the deer in the area. Like I said I read it in a book and probably dead wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: How early do bucks make scrapes?? I was shown some fresh scrapes last spring while turkey hunting in Ky. I was told that it's usually younger deer that have no idea why they're doing it but they just feel the need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: How early do bucks make scrapes?? PSE--see the buck on the left--he is working the licking branch on that scrape. That scrape stays active all year but during the winter months it really gets going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: How early do bucks make scrapes?? Deer scrape year round. Does also scrape. Have seen deer working a scrape and licking branch out the back sliding door of our house at all different times including spring and summer. The pre rut scrapes where bucks are marking and establishing territory for does, usually pick up around October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
