I’ve recently gotten onto a public land 9 pointer in a plot of land that isn’t too pressured and I know holds some decent deer. I found 3 scrapes and multiple rubs all within 20 yards of each other then set a camera on the main scrape next to a cluster of rubs. The next night i had him on camera working the scrape and freshening the rub but this was at 2:30am. I set up this morning in a tree saddle and saw he had made 2 more big scrapes the night before. (This is all within 2 days)
Should i continue to hunt these scrapes, wait until the rut in a couple of weeks when he’ll be more active during daylight, or try and find an area closer to his bed and hunt him in the coming days?
