    I know allot of guys start making them early do the guys that do use any scent in them early in the year? If so what do you guys use? I have never made one early in the year.

    I personally stay away from the scents until sometime between Oct. 17-20th. Once the real scrapes really pick up, then I make some competition scrapes. Good Luck

    There has been much written about mock scrapes and I very seldom had much luck untill I spent alot of time observing deer(mainly does) using licking branches as they staged up before entering food plots. It was then that i started experimenting with Licking branches. I started out using urine based lures on the branches with limited success. it was when I started to use a product called deer herd in a stick that I started to see alot of use of the branches. One other thing I found is that more than 75% of them turned into scrapes.I now use them to help control the deer movement on my farm. by setting them up in the staging areas I see more bucks alot earlier than I used to.(every buck that walks by visits these branches, licks and chews on them) this keeps the deer in your area much longer. as you can see in the pics I use roundup in mid summer and then rake out an area under the branch. When I Don’t have branches at the proper height I will use parachute cord and tie them down to about 60″ apply lure and they will use these all year long. does, fawns and bucks love these and are just one more thing to help increase your odds of being successfull.

    I got mine at Gander Mountain and had both does and fawns in one all last week. Just sorting out the videos

    I don’t think they make that kit anymore Steve. They have the Scrape Line Kit now. Comes with dominant buck urine and lickin stick scents, and biodegradeable scent cups to replace the water proof dirt. Search for that or you can buy online direct from H.S.

    I use lemon scented ammonia and artificial vanilla extract. Put it in a spray bottle and spray in where i want a scrape. Works really well in the late summer. Cheap and effective. here’s a pic from a camera i checked yesterday that was on a mock scrape.

    Thanks Ben, I got an email from HS today telling me the same thing. I am going to give the Scrape Line Kit a try.
