well congrats on the new land

as for scrapes and rubs, , scrapes will be starting about sept, but the more rut one's not till mid Oct
rub seem to start here about the first wek of sept to, but again, they get more active making them come mid/late oct!

as for what you can throw out to keep deer about, well the really best thing is to plant things they will eat, or will produce food they will eat,
different types of tree's shrubs, But a few small food plots will do wonders, keping some deer visiting for a snack

you can also hang a corn feeder with a timer, they do work as well,
I personally would suggest posting the place well, to help keep anyone out that doesn't know its under new ownership, many people don't show up till hunting season, to find stuff out(some still don't seem to care or read signs but??)

then walk the place and look at what types of tree's are on it, bring a aerial photo with you and mark spots that have better oaks, or what ever's on it as you go to

But good luck
