[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5271196, member: 17"] redblood, So far, some of the big takeaways for me are, just because scrapes have "gone dead" (aren't being opened) doesn't mean they aren't being visited. Periods exist (and I'm still working on how to display that) where scrape reopening ceases, yet scrape visits are still relatively high. Why these "dead scrape" periods exist is a mystery. And when scrapes suddenly open after a couple of days after going dead, it is usually a mature buck that does it. I'm also hoping that the scrape data by age for 2020 (poor acorn year) will show a distinctly different time-of-day pattern than the 2021 data. That would suggest hunting times need to be adjusted for a good acorn year versus a bad acorn year. And perhaps a pattern in scraping surges, such as peak breeding is going to occur "X" number of days after scraping activity peaks. [/QUOTE]
