Fallow Scrapes

[Clemo]

Just wondering if fallow bucks return to scrapes at all after the rut or do they leave them unattended until next rut?
I found one the other day that had some very fresh sign in the area and the scrape itself had defiantly seen some action a few hours prior.:confused:

If there are still does in the area that haven't been serviced then bucks will freshen scrapes right up till they shed in October. I have seen deer scraping in September.

Thats great, I was under the impression that once the rut finished propper they left them.
Looks like ive still got a half chance.:D
Cheers

The first fallow hunt i went on was last october and i saw watched 2 bucks have a massive brawl.Would this be for the same reason?
