The Kid Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I was talking with a close buddy that owns a little mom and pap hunting store and he has a friend that has been making mock scrapes and taking a string and hanging it above the scrape using it like a licking branch,, he sent my friend 20 or so pictures of deer coming into the scrape, i think he dips the string into some scent as well?? ever heard of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodtrails Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 sounds good, but I haven't seen very many scrapes without a licking branch already above it. Have you?:no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenderhunt4 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I make mock scrapes all the time. Deer will use them. I usually cut branches from trees deer normally use for their scrapes in my area and then wire the cut branches to trees along a trail near my stand at about 5ft height. It works well to give bucks a natural stopping point in my shooting range too! I never add scent because it seems the bucks naturally see what it is and begin using it too.
