RE: making fake rubs and scraps
I've made my share of mock scrapes, but I've never heard of ANYONE makeing mock rubs. LoL. That would be interesting.
I like to use James Valley scents gel. I use a limb to clean the leaves from the ground. I put buck gel in the scrape and doe est. on the licking branch. It works GREAT!!!! I don't do this for hunting, I do it to get pics from my trail cam.
This pic was taken on one of my mock scrapes. Hell of a SC buck.
