[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5274094, member: 20583"] A little off tangent, but have you ever monitored scrapes that never get doe activity? I've got one short stretch of a hogback ridge that has a scrape line every year without fail, but never once have I caught a doe on camera there. There is usually 4-5 scrapes within a 50yd line of ridge top. Several different bucks will frequent the scrapes, even rub on some trees. But what's the purpose if there are no does? Are there certain scrapes purposed for only communicating with other bucks? I've always been under the impression that scrapes are how bucks communicate with does, for the purpose of breeding, and in fact most of the scrapes I monitor do get plenty of two way communication. But not all. I assume those non-doe scrapes are a way for bucks to establish a pecking order or simply a check station to indicate presence in the area. And given the location that would make sense. But I really don't know. Anybody else ever notice anything like that? [/QUOTE]
