No I haven't experienced that on mine at all yet. Could be the area your hunting is a lot rockier then mine or yours scoop is defective, I would lean to the area your hunting being rockier or heavly shelled probably.

I didnt have that on my old scoop either, but I did get the old one snagged on what turned out to be end of an old steel drain pipe and I kept prying on it, curious to see what it was and put a small tear in it. I got it spot welded.

A SS blade tip on it should fix that. I have thought of doing the same on mine just to have a longer lip......
