Fresh Scraps everywhere this morning actually one was about 3 foot around. Rubs on arm size well leg size trees for some 6 inch diameter trees. Then i must of just missed a hog the smell was as if standing over it.
I am predicting an early rut this year. I saw this before a few years back when we had a dry summer. Chasing hard in bow season. I sorta hope it happens that way again this year
For this area this is normal time.
ted,sent you pm
Haven't been lookin' for scrapes and rubs yet, it ain't time in the panhandle. This little feller has been feasting on pears in our yard for a week or so. As you can see, he's still in velvet and not quite ready to rub. Just shows us there are certainly different times for deer activity across our great state. A fresh rub will get your heart beating and a scrape the size of your truck's hood will get you in the mood. I have a camera in a patch of Iron & Clay peas that I haven't checked lately, maybe ol' big boy will have had his picture taken by the time I check it. Anticipation of the coming season is always a great thing, even for ol' guys like me. Treefarmer[img][/img]
