I'm heading up to the cottage this weekend michiganman to check my mock scrapes. This cooler weather should help with the movement a little. Man am I getting the itch for October. Thanks for the update.

Okay, Thats it! I'm going out to check on my stands and see if they are rubbing or scraping anything around my place, I cant take it anymore!!

The Geese just arent cutting it. I need to see some Deer sign or anything.

I am Sick, and I admit it.

Haven't seen any scrapes yet, only rubs. Still around 90 deg here most days. Finally got out of the 100's. Send some of that coolness down here
