[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5272155, member: 17"] So, when comparing just these two years of data, it does appear that bucks work scrapes more frequently in a good acorn year, but that extra scraping may be limited to the pre-rut. The one caveat might be the lower scraping activity of mature bucks throughout the entire season in a poor acorn year. However, that big peak in scraping pre-rut in a good acorn year may be what has been giving the hunters the impression the rut is "early" in a good acorn year. Actual chases caught on camera suggest this is not the case (chases peaked the same time both years), but the heavy scraping pre-rut, and some caught-on-camera chasing pre-rut in the good acorn year may be giving hunters the impression the rut is earlier in a good acorn year.
