Any deer rubs/scrapes yet?

[beefman]

Just wondering if anyone has found any good deer sign yet?
I was out today bird hunting and found 2 rubs . They look
at least a couple of days old because they are dry. I have pics
but I still haven't figured out the whole pic-posting thing. Bow
season opens on the 1st.

I was out showing a buddy a location close to home 2 weeks ago and saw a couple of scrapes.I thought it was a little early for that .

Bit early for that in my area.

I was out scouting in WMU 63A where I hunt, & I saw no sign of any scrapes or rubs yet. I did see about 15 deer including one nice 8 point. I have the feeling it's gonna be another great season .

It is always open season on back hoes. If you see one in the bush, shoot it fast. They tend to destroy the bush and chase away the game.

I have noticed rubbings for a few weeks now. It is early for this type of activity but then again, the seasons are a little screwed up this year in the east.

Next week is the week boys. It all begins.

Be careful, be safe, stay warm and enjoy.

Happy hunting

I've been scoping out my regular spot for 2 weeks in hopes of finding some fresh rubs. Nothing yet though. Just last years still.
Wish me luck!

Big difference between a rub and a scrape

Yup... I'm a LADY, but after 13 years of hunting, I do know the difference between rubs and scrapes!! I only spoke about rubs because the ground is still covered with very healthy ferns where I hunt. But thanks anyway!!

Sorry rickslady, my reading comprehension skills were lacking for a moment and I came across like an ass didn’t I.
I take it all back
Cheers and good luck

You can come over and get the bear who is around my spot, he does a great job of flattening all the ferns.

Lots of sign of deer around the oaks in 63A in Eastern Ontario but no buck activity as of yet.

I have found a few scrapes and set up trail cams over them. Have got a couple buck pics and does investigating the scrapes. But not the numbers and sizes of bucks I was hoping for. I'll keep at it and hope I can post some good buck pics here later.

Seasons been open for 2 weeks now, and I finally just got out today. No rubs, no scrapes, no tracks, no sign period. Me thinks they are still up too high.

I've never seen a backhoe on a logging operation before...
