How many deer have you ever seen use a scrape/paw?

Within eyesight of our camp there has been a large paw the last few years. I decided this year to see what was making it and put a camera on it. I don't have pics here with me at work but every deer in the area seems to use it, bucks and does. From twilight to daylight it is a parade of deer. There is so much peeing going on there that I think it will kill the trees surrounding it.

They have community scrapes and then they have the smaller ones that come and go. The big ones that appear every year are community ones and kinda like the equivalent of people checking in at places on facebook.
I've never had more than 2-3 immature bucks on cam working a scrape

I saw a good buck driving down Highway 30 in Geismar just inside the BASF gates so I pulled over and videoed him working a scrape and nibble the branches above it then piss into it.
I've seen it a few other times in the woods too dark to see what it was, but could see the branches moving above him.

I have only seen 1 use a scrape I was hunting, but a couple of years ago I hung a camera and made a mock scrape on a trail, and got pictures of 2 deer using it within 5 hours.

I had a nice buck work one in front of me last trip.

90% of scrapes are made at night, and 90% of the time the buck that makes it doesn't revisit.
Read that in a book once. Science book. Not Primos book.

I watched a really good buck make a scrape in the middle of the day on Avery Island. It was fun to pull over and watch.

Yes I'm aware the picture quality is worse than out of a 2005 Motorola Razr. This is a screen shot of a cellphone video at full zoom through shakey freehanded binoculars. Posted on 12/16/15 at 9:06 pm to tenfoe
Tenfoe your right....the dominant buck in the area will rarely revisit his initial scrape....only gets in proximity of it from time to time to pick up a hot doe. Less than 10% of the time he will ever come back to it.

Monday I watched three bucks pee in the same scrape.
This time of year I put my cameras on scrapes. Lots of different bucks frequent scrapes. Mostly at night but some daytime pics.

I think it is every deer in the area. At least 5 different bucks though it may be more as some spikes are hard to tell apart.

community scrapes
I hunted one of these once, I didn't know what it was (I know a scrape, but this was half the size of a car hood), every deer that came near it would act weird kind of giddy jumping around and shite.
I ended up killing a nice 8 standing in the middle of it
