I haven't seen one yet, but it's still a bit early. Just wondering if you guys are seeing them in your location.

Yep. Have some here this week.
Had our first frost this morning.

West Michigan area here.  I've got so many scrapes/rubs that it is making picking a hunting location a bit tricky.  Adjacent corn fields are getting cut already as well so I'm going to focus on my water holes and apple trees.

Still hitting the 80s almost every day here in East TN but the nights dropping into the 50s some. 

We’ve got got a nice line of rubs up on a V shaped ridge. One finger has a few rubs and the other side has 5-6 scrapes. New property and we just set cams so we don’t really have a buck inventory yet. I’m excited to check cams tomorrow.

Seeing scrapes and lots of rubs here in Iowa I'm all horned up for some treestand therapy

Yep. The big 7 I've been chasing made one right in front of my camera last week. I set the camera up on a trail. When I checked it about a week and a half later, the scrape was 6' in front of the camera dead center.

Upper 80s a few days ago but dropping now.
Saw my first scrape today.

Lots of bucks, dead and alive, on roads last few nights.

In my AO (central SC) they are working the scrapes hard and heavy.  I shot one off a scrape Saturday afternoon.

I've had one on camera refreshing a mock scrape, but I haven't seen any deer-made scrapes yet.  That's surprising for this time of year for me.  It's a weird year.

Was up in the woods last weekend.  Saw a buck following a doe giving her sweet, tending grunts.  Saw another buck scooting down a path later on that a doe had walked five minutes prior.

Not a single scrape or rub though...

We spent last week at our place in SW Missouri and I saw lots of fresh scrapes. Small bucks were chasing does.

Arkansas here. Plenty of rubs, but no scrapes. I 'm seeing more bucks on camera, though. I put out corn to bring in piles of does, and the bucks are sniffing around more and more. We're getting close, friends.

Saw a few rubs and my first scrape of the year scouting the other day. Going to try to put an arrow in a buck tomorrow after work.

Fresh rubs and scrapes when I was scouting last weekend in Southern Indiana.  We had a pretty good cold snap so that might have things starting to move a bit.  Looking forward to checking them this weekend.
