Yep same here, been seeing a lot of rubs lately but not to many scrapes. Most of the scrapes I've been seeing were made but not worked over again.The problem where I live just north of Pensacola bout the time they come into rut hunting season is almost over. gendoc any extra you have left over y'all send them over this way and I'll take care of the surplus. :)

John, I don't know what .45-70 load you're shooting, but with mine, I'd hold on the top line of his back and put him in the freezer.  The last buck I shot with the .45-70 was two years ago.  He was at 220 yards and I almost missed him holding too high above his back.  I spined him and he dropped right there.  I didn't have any time to think about it.  It was instinctive, shoot then or forget it.  In a lot of ways, long shots with a .45-70 are like shooting a longbow.

I hope you get him.
