Went into the bush yesterday morning to see if there was any sign around my stands.Was out last Thursday evening and put a little doe urine around one of my stands, well like I said when I got into the area yesterday morning I followed five big scrapes right to my stand. Could the prerut be starting? Anybody else seeing any rutting activity?
I have seen scrapes and rub`s for Eight Day`s now Here in the Eastern Townships (Quebec Zone 5&6)This Sateriday last was out sitting in my Tree stand for 1&1/2 hrs and seen two does went back for supper and my wife showed me pictures (Dit.cam.) she took of a Yearling and a doe 25 ft from the camp eating carrots, they were there for 15 min.

Hunting near Terra Cotta (WMU 78D) last Saturday and Sunday. Saw a nice buck checking his scrapline Saturday night. Sunday morning I saw him making a new scrape in the same area. Didn't manage a shot. Not too many scrapes around yet, what there was appeared to be fairly new. Looks to me like they're starting to get active!
