This morning I noticed something just to the left of my stand when it started to get light. After a while (lighter out) the spot looked like it had been tilled up or something, I wondered what in the world my dad was doing with his tiller up in the woods.
When I decided to leave I walked down to see what he was up to, but the ground hadn't been tilled. There was nothing but deer tracks, fairly large ones to. This spot was (I stepped it off) 5 foot wide and 13 feet long, not a blade of grass left in it, just dirt and mud and deer tracks. The ground it sorta moist in this area, but not to bad and three weeks ago this area was covered with grass.
Any clues what happened? [:)]

Saturday afternoon around 2 I had four bucks come in on this spot. One was a small basket rack 8, a four pointer, and two spikes that looked identical to one another. They all messed around in the spot, no pawing or scraping though. They were there about a half hour then walked back into the woods. I saw three does to, but none of them went close to that spot. I think I might stay out of that stand for a couple weeks, I'd hate to * anything before the rut starts.

Messenger Boy: The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.

I wondered about natural mineral deposits, but I have never seen anything even close to that in that area. It is between a couple rub/scrape lines that always seem to reappear each year within 10-20 yards of the one the year before.
I'm liking this idea of a community scrape. I didn't find any rubs though, might be a good idea for me to head to walmart tonight and purchase a trail camera huh.
headzilla, no cans or burnt wood around, but a lot of small packages that said Trojan. [?]

Lord help us if the deer start using protection.

I didn't end up getting a trail camera to setup.

It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
