mock scrape?

I kill em on their way to the truck! I had this stuff once, I haven't seen it in a long time either but it was called something like scrape juice or something like that. It was just buck urine but by god you could smell it all the way to freakin Nebraska. It seemed to really be best if I put it out right after a good rain. Try some different stuff in different scrapes and see which one they hammer. I haven't put a mock in for a few years now so I'm out of the latest and greatest loop in that aspect. KEEP IT AS HUMAN SCENT FREE AS POSSIBLE.

Important to setup your mock scrape where you will have a licking branch. Usually use active scrape here, works pretty well I think, and deer typically take over scrapes which is the goal. Once they take over your scrape there is no point maintaining, however it can peak their interest or tick off a mature deer if you use a dominant buck lure in the scrape prior to hunting.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but it happened. I'm not necessarily recommending it either. I read somewhere that you could rake back the leaves and pee on the ground under a low lying branch, and deer would take over your scrape. Out of curiosity, I tried it. I put up a trail camera, and over a three week period, the scrape was investigated by bucks, does, a racoon, a coyote, and a couple of dogs. I got pictures of all of the listed animals urinating in the scrape, and it was still bare when I packed up the camera.

Todd might buy a bottle of pee from you

can't say I've done what others have said... i use a mock scrape going into a spot cold with no scouting. i pick a good spot along a deer trail where i want the deer to stop. it has to have a good solid overhanging branch. i like soft conifers because i think they have more surface area to hold scent. i take a nearby stick to expose bare dirt. i hang a tink's scent dripper over it with 50/50 tink's 69 and wildlife research hot scrape. brings deer in that night and good for the next morning even.

I've never set a mock scrape up with the intent to hunt it the next day, seems like it always takes a week or so to get any activity on it... I might give your way a shot to see what I can do. I got a few decent bucks I'd like to see in close.

mock scrape?

So here it is. There is a fire break that runs the east property line on my place. It always has a good amount of scrapes on it. Today I picked up the Wildlife Research Magnum scrape drip, so next weekend I'm going to set it up and put a camera on it and we'll see how it goes!
