You should hunt scrapes during the pre-rut and rut phases of the deer season, as this is when bucks are actively seeking out does and marking their territory. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the best times to visit these areas, as deer are more likely to be moving and checking scrapes during these hours. Additionally, hunting scrapes after rain can be effective, as the scent from the scrape will be more pronounced. Always approach scrapes with caution to avoid spooking deer from the area.
During the rut, the bucks travel a couple square mile area.

Answerwhen the does become in heatAnswerwhen the does become in heat. And this happens generally during the first two weeks of November. You can begin having luck as early as late october as bucks are seeking to establish dominance against other bucks. During late october they are focused on this, so they are vulnerable and it is a good time to use calls and scents to attract bucks. But the best time to hunt during the rut is roughly between Nov1-14. The peak of the rut is always during this time. This is the time to spend all day over good travel corridors between doe bedding areas, since Bucks will be traveling between these frequently looking for courtship.
