Guest SRA Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please position your scrape on a travel route.....locate a overhanging branch about 50"-60" off of the ground....i use vanilla on the licking branch and the Hawgs Limited synthetic stuff in the scrape.....i'll usually make about 3 scrapes in a small area...... heres a pic.......it does really work i have more pics.....but i have to get them uploaded..... and heres the link to the Hawgs Limited place....

rossman Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please I've done a couple mock scrapes in the past. None seemed to have worked. Do they actually work? If they do I must be doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please I've heard that sometimes a mock scrape will scare the deer away. True?? Also.....how far away from the food plot should you put it??? Can you put right next to it??? I've hung some scent bombs around but they ignore it.

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please I think the biggest key is having a licking branch as stated above. all I do is pee in the scrape and let it be (as nuts as this sounds). it works well. all you are doing is trying to atract deer to the spot to start using. once you get one deer (buck or doe) to use it, their sent will bring in others that will use it. this time of year most deer will just pee in the scrape, and not pee on their tarsal glands. one thing is for sure, they can make for a good setup.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure some deer may get spooked, but most will just see it as a mesage board (much like we do here on the net) and post a mesage in the scrape for all the other deer to "read & respond to". last year I put a mock on the edge of a soybean field, with in one week I had more sign right around that spot then I had seen all year (rubs and new scrapes) and that was in August, they used it all fall and winter. again the licking branch needs to be there. if not NO deer will use it.

Guest Andrea Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please Well I have a perfect spot on the edge of my food plot with a lickin branch included. I have made a mock scrape there in the past and hung a scent bomb right over it, but no results. They come in and go right to feeding or chasin does.

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please also depending on your buck and doe ratio, deer may not use the scrape as much as other areas. something else to concider. maybe i'm lucky and my pee smells like a buck or worse a doe Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please Now...as far as checking them everyday......I try not to go out there very much unless I have to take corn out. ( Which is getting to be almost twice a week) I don't want to keep leaving my scent. So, okay...I'll either get a guy to pee on it or I guess I could pee in a cup first!!! But what about the doe in heat stuff??? Don't fool with it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarylandQDMA Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please no I don't my thinking is once a deer uses it, he or she, sent will atract more deer, at some point that mock scrape turns into the real thing. you just helped it get started in the spot you wanted. if you have a trail cam set it up, and I bet you will be amased at the amount of deer that come in and sniff. I'll pee once and that will be it. F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please The licking branch is key. I do use my own urine in mock scrapes. Have used active scrape with good results as well as hawgs limited. Scrape drippers also do work fairly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please [ QUOTE ] what is a mock scrape anyways!?!?!? [/ QUOTE ] An attempt to make a scrape that will be taken over by a real deer, strategically located near a stand you hunt. A scrape dripper works well at dispensing scent during the day over a period of time. Active scrape or dominant buck urine can work really well in a dripper. The licking branch is an overhanging limb approximately 4 feet above the ground, that deer will chew on and also leave scents on from their heads. Using a gland scent on a licking branch in combination with scents in a mock scrape work well. Deer(does and bucks both) make many scrapes, and some will get checked pretty well every day. Community scrapes are used by more than one deer and they can be great for seeing a lot of activity on a pretty regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browtine2 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Re: Making a mock scrape....can you help me out please Hey outdoorgirl, if the rut isn't go'in on or close to, the mock scrape might not work. Rut here in Pa. doesn't come until late October or November. When scrapes start appearing try this little trick. If you can locate the scrape of a buck you want to hunt, go a few miles away and locate another scrape, dig some of the urine saturated soil up and doctor your bucks scrape with it. This can really drive a buck crazy thinking another buck is using his scrape. It's good to have you gals out there as fellow hunters. good luck, good health and safe hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
