Happened to find about 7 scrapes today on a field edge. My dad hunted this field this evening and the farmer was out tilling up the field. My question is since the farmer ruined the fresh scrapes do you think the buck will come back and make them again?

My guess would be keep watch of the area in general and keep your eyes peeled for fresh scrapes, deer are moving through there other than the buck, otherwise why leave the calling card. There could be new scrapes appear soon.

I had that same scenario 2 years ago. Bucks had them reopened in a couple days.

I would start a mock scrape at a couple of the locations and then let the deer take it over from there.

I don't put much stock in scrape hunting around home. Too much hunting pressure and too many does, so bucks don't come back routinely to visit scrapes. With so many does around they breed one, just take off wandering and usually run across the next one, not much rhyme or reason to it once the breeding starts. Better to focus on positioning yourself for an undetected ambush in likely travel routes in my opinion.
