Hello, generally they will follow their same patterns year after year...however different variables can impact this from year to year...for example: logging, human presence etc. etc.....good luck!

I agree. Lots of variables can change that deers patterns. I have seen scrapes used year after year, but mostly see scrapes in the same area but usually not the same scrape. I rarely hunt over a particular scrape, but find it a bonus to have scrapes in the area I'm hunting.

They are usually a creature of habit . One area that I hunt has two apple orchards about a half mile apart, that produce fruit alternately every other year and they move year to year with the food source. You won't find a track in the non productive orchard .
