[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5727044, member: 20583"] Right here is why. Look at what the wind was doing all day long, especially from noon to dark. It kept making sudden and complete changes in direction & speed. I've noticed this pattern when trying to figure out why bucks hit scrapes at random times in daylight hours for no apparent reason, when scraping is usually a nighttime activity. The only factor I could find and it's about 70% consistent is that it happens during a major wind direction change or immediately after a rain event. But it relates to all deer movement as well, not just scrapes. My thoughts are that it's because shifty winds force them out of bed because beds are chosen according to wind direction.
