Once again its almost time for me to focus on Whitetails.
Last season i was fortunate to shoot a nice 3X4 on his scrape line.
I know it was his scrape line, he hit it before I shot him.
Yesterday i investigated the scrape line to see if another buck will be keeping it up.
It looks like on already is, there is a fresh scrape just 10 yards from last years, however, this scrape (as well as someothers i found) does not have overhanging beanches.
I watched "Hunting Scrape Lines" by Paul Brunner a few years back, he indicated that scrapes will have overhanging braches where the deer will rub their glands on as well as nibble brach tips off, i have found this to be true on every scrpae i have seen.
My questions are; has anybody seen scrapes with no overhanging branches, has anyone shot a buck on a scrape line buck one year to have another buck maintain the same scrape line the next year?
Thanks for any input.
Good luck to alll hunters.
