My biggest buck came from this scrape tip 🦌

Been studying rubs and scrapes for years and they're basically GPS coordinates for where to set up. Here's what I've learned about using them effectively: 1️⃣ Size matters - Larger, higher rubs and big scrapes usually mean mature bucks are using them 2️⃣ Position downwind - Set your stand downwind from active scrape lines for optimal scent management 3️⃣ Trail cam gold - Scrapes get visited year-round but peak activity is fall, mostly at night 4️⃣ Post-rain visits - Bucks often return after rain to "freshen up" scrapes where scent washed away The scrape-to-trail-cam combo has been incredible for taking inventory of what's actually in the area. Multiple deer use the same spots, so you get a full picture of the local population. Anyone else had luck dialing in patterns this way? #hunting #DeerHunting #HuntingTips #TrailCameras
