RE: Synthetic Scrapes
Buckfever1613 - use a heavy knife or your saw to scrape up a tree. Coat the exposed area with Jackie's licking branch scent or a similar pre-orbital gland scent and you have a mock rub. Don't go overboard with it though. Start less than a foot off the ground and make a rub about 10" long on a sapling 1 & 1/2" to 2" in diameter. It's a good idea to make a rub line in addition to your mock scrapes. A rub line usually consists of a rub every 20 to 30 yards. Just remember this is a scent post, don't contaminate it with your odor or forget it. I almost always make mock scrapes where a rub line already exists. I put out a cluster of scrapes (3 to 5) along the rub line, freshen up the rubs or create a few more, and they will come. Funny how many guys seem to skip the rub part and only focus on the scrape. I'm convinced it's better to do both.
Bowfanatic- Yes, your own pee will work but Hawg's Limited scents are 32 times the concentration of natural urine and they are reactivated by rain so, they work much better and last much longer. Also, you've skipped the licking branch part. The more natural the setup the better.
