Spotted Some Deer Scrapes

I was out on Sunday 10-8-06 and explored alittle bit more looking for some deer signs, rubs - scrapes. I did come upon 4 scrapes. 3 were small but one was a decent size. I hope to see it picking up in the next week or so. I still haven't seen any buck rubs.

I hunted tonight, 10-9-06 and arrived on stand about 5:00pm. I didn't see anything until around 6:00 when 5 doe came through by my stand. I couldn't get my bow drawn because there was so much activity between all 5 deer that I was afraid I would spook one and they would be gone. As it turned out the one doe came around on me and headed straight toward me. Worse possible direction because as she approached she looked right at me and she was gone. She also took the other 4 does with her as they trotted off. Yep, they got spooked and didn't know what I was, just knew it wasn't right. I also saw 2 doe eating in the field while on stand but way to far away to get a shot off.

Can you believe they are calling for snow this weekend in pa. What is up with that. Well, we'll see if I make it out this weekend to hunt or not. I will keep you posted.
