[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5512195, member: 17"] Another interesting observation concerning opening scrapes (pawing away the leaves) is that the percentage of older buck visits where older bucks actually work the scrape rises and falls in a somewhat cyclical pattern as the fall progresses. So many hunters have observed that during what they call the "lock-down phase" of the rut, that scrapes also go dead. Well, this is real, but not because bucks stop visiting scrapes. During peak breeding, bucks simply stop working the scrapes. They still visit, but don't paw out the ground. No idea why. [/QUOTE]
