it's starting
« on: October 19, 2013, 09:52:00 AM »
Was out last night.  Instead of the marsh, I visited the uplands portion of the tract I hunt.  I was amazed at the number and size of scrapes I saw.  The weather changed quite a bit in the last ten days (colder) and the leaves are dropping.  No more skeeters.

Its time to be in the woods !

Watched 4 young bucks brawling in front of my stand last evening. Grunted and threw in a fawn bleat, brought them all in for a look. Now if their fathers would show up I'd be in business! Won't be long now.

Found a scrape at the police range this morning, right behind the backstop!

Izzy, that must be from one of those young buck (thrill seekers).  Done on a dare.  

Do deer "double dog dare" or is it something else ?

Last night a had a dandy of a buck under my stand, 140 plus but he already had a antler broke off just above his brow tine so he got a pass from me and I'm hopeing he makes it another year.

I have came across many new scrapes and rubs this week, they are starting to get in the mood in the western end of Maryland, I thought it was a little early yet but I guess I was wrong, I will have to see if any of these scrapes have been reopened since the leaves have started to cover some of them up.

It's not unusual for young bucks to start making a mess of scrapes about now, though the big fellas do it too. Thursday I found about 15 scrapes in about 100 yards along an old log trail. At least you know some deer are around, but 99% of the scrapes you see now will be gone in a couple of weeks or less.

How many bucks does it take (to screw in a lightbulb ? HA)  to make all of these scrapes ?  Is one skinny buck creating 20 scrapes or is this indicative of a handful of bucks out there ?

I have seen a spike wandering along a logging trail and probably make 12 scrapes.
