Great info

[@brob-zy8zi]

You touched on something that too many of us are forgetting in the days of instant gratification and social media. Have fun. I don't think you can touch on that too much. It's what we are out there for. 30 years ago the first time I took a rifle into the woods I wasn't looking for a 200" buck, I just wanted to enjoy myself and hunt. I had too much energy and too much excitement. People need to let part of that excited kid out again and remember those days. Remember how blessed we really are no matter if you are tagging a wall hanger or eating tag stew. It's what got us all out here in the first place.

Great information! I keep a couple of my cell cameras setup on what I call community scrapes and utilize them to tell me when daylight scraping activity peaks. Once that occurs, I wait for the right wind and go in and hunt that area. This keeps the area free of human intrusion and has proven very effective in the past.

Can't say it enough and I will every time. Steve is the man

The first time I found a scrape I set up on it. 30 minutes later 2 does came running by. 15 minutes after that, MR BIG came in. I was shocked to see a deer that big. Another 20 minutes goes by & 4 hunters came thru trailing the buck they made a bad shot on. No one saw Mr. BIG again. Even if I got a shot off & killed that buck, the aggrevation of fighting over it wouldn't be worth it. R

A small field I hunt that is surrounded By woods with heavy cane undergrowth, in the last 5 weeks has emerged with 15 big carved up scrapes. Is this a be patient and hunt the field or should I use scents to entice the bucks using the scrape line.

Crazy good info. Best scrape I ever hunted, almost all wildlife visited it. Even turkey would pass through the spot. It was a bowl shaped scrape with a index finger sized limb sticking down. THis guy is dead on. Its a special scrape and determining what kind that is, is vital. Need more videos like this.

Great video Steve! I've got some good daylight buck action on a secluded field edge right now with a couple 2.5 and one 3.5 year old buck and some does frequenting the area, if they keep it up I might hunt them right in the edge down from the scrape or get in the buffer where the woods meets some other cover before the field. I sure do love inside corners of fields for cruising buck action though!
