[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5270844, member: 17"] Once I'm finished getting the age data for 2020, my next project is analyzing buck behaviors at the scrape. For each scrape visit I recorded whether the buck worked the overhanging limb and whether he reopened the scrape (actually scraped the ground). I believe there are some VERY interesting tidbits hidden in that data. As a teaser, it appears yearling bucks conduct the least amount of listed behaviors, and very little actual reopening of the scrape compared to older bucks. However, yearling appeared to do more actual scraping in the good acorn year versus the poor acorn year. There also appeared to be a "lull" in actual scrape reopening during the season by all age bucks. In essence, a period of time when most visits were just working the overhanging limb but not scraping the ground. [/QUOTE]
