[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5512234, member: 20583"] That's an interesting chart. I wonder what the sex and age structure was of the areas they studied. I just skimmed through the scrape videos of one of my spots & since 2019 I only caught one 1.5yr old pawing out a scrape or rub/urinating, and it was the same buck in 2020. I saw 2 2.5yr olds doing it. Then multiple 3.5+. Oddly I saw a couple instances where both a 4.5yr and a 5.5yr both spread their legs to urinate. I also saw several instances where 5.5yr olds walked through a scrape but purposely tilted their head to avoid touching the branch or vine. The most peculiar thing was catching 5.5yr olds destroying one scrape then completely ignoring another scrape just 150yds away. I've not looked through the other properties but I will. The one I did look at is my Ohio place and it's a bachelor pad where bucks often outnumber does, sometimes by a lot. It also has multiple 4.5+ bucks any given year. One of my places here in TN is overrun with does and very young bucks so it'll be interesting to see if it's the same type activity. [/QUOTE]
