[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5218494, member: 20583"] Here's another example with another buck, same scrape. Same type thing where he shows up to scrape right the cusp of where temperature begins spiking, wind shifts direction, and wind speed just begins to pick up. In both example, the buck is scraping in broad daylight during a part of the day when the wind changing direction, speed, and temp changing. Not coincidentally it also happens in a "lull" when the wind is dead still for several hour span. I've seen it play out just like this many, many times over several years. Every time a mature buck scrapes during daylight I can look at the weather for that day & time and see a correlation. Now weather changes all the time with no bucks scraping. So don't think I'm saying you can predict when to hunt a scrape. You might see a dozen weather changes like this in a row and never see a buck hit the scrape. BUT, and it's a very big BUT, when he does hit the scrape it will almost certainly be during one of the weather transitions. So while I cannot say for certain I know when to hunt a scrape, I can say I have a darn good idea of when not to. [ATTACH type="full"]117752[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]117753[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
