I've done some heavy scouting over the last 30 days and I've seen a good number of scrapes but very few rubs.

What are you seeing ?

No rubs or scrapes yet where I'm at I hope this is not a good sign.

Scouted a new piece of property this past weekend. Seen one nice rub and 3 active scrapes. That's just walking the bean field/crop line. Didn't even touch the woods enough to see. Hoping it's an awesome place! Need to get a stand out there quick!

Rubs and scrapes don't mean much to me this time of the year. I'm keying in on food sources, water and summertime travel routes. I have not noticed any rubs or scrapes at my place, but to be honest I really wasn't looking for them.

I agree with the food source and travel routes. (water is too abundant where I hunt)
Rubs and scrapes are always nice to see as we edge toward Oct/Nov

No idea, I haven't been inside my properties for almost two months now. Just been glassing from safe locations. Judging by the velvet coming off, rubs and scrapes are likely to be found in their typical early season places.
