one word....Nocternal...thats all i can say. Even my trail cams agree....give it a little more time and they will be cruising around during daylight.

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like you have a good setup, the bucks may just still be moving mostly at night. Seeking phase should be about to start here real soon. If you are seeing does it is just a matter of time before the bucks start cruising the area during legal shooting hours.

Yup. A lot of rubbing and scraping (most of it) occurs at night. Read an article once that said some bucks will rub over 300 times a night!

I agree Nocternal is definatly right, I like to put up a dripper that puts scent out during the day only and hope you can lure him out during daylight hours to check the scrapes,this has worked for me and other people I hunt with
