wanting to try a mock scrape this year, any helpful hints, ideas, good products to use for the scrape, placement ideas anything would be helpful
I wait until Next month to start mine. It's funny but the deer in my area use the same general spots every year to make new scrapes...Same field edge overhead licking branch and they make a scrape pretty much every year in those same spots. I don't know what it is or why they do it but you can just about guarantee they will do it so, I do the same and make my Mock Scrape in the same spots year after year.
I don't put marketable stuff in my scrapes anymore. I did that one year and not one deer on cam checking it out or freshening it up or anything. Now I just take a leak in it and walk away. Each time I go in or out of the area after that I just unzip and freshen it up and that's it. The deer will eventually take it over come October but I still stop by from time to time during the rest of the season just to mark it. Works !!!
well now that the urine is covered , lol what about places for starting them, will any random spot work, or best to start off a trail that they use
nice ill try that, i got 3 huge fields with woods surrounding and one small set about 3 acres in between the fields, one is a clover field, the other is a hay field and the other is a corn field. so im thinkin maybe try the patch in the middle ? there is a creek that runs the whole one side of the property and a fence that runs the rest. and there is two deer pens that but up on the property line
