RE: makin artifical scrapes
Heres some advice . If your gonna get into the scents and stuff . Check walmart after huntin season . They have all that stuff on clearance . Now , I personally wouldnt buy the actual scents because they do go bad and loose there potency . But your drippers and wicks and stuff will be at least half price .
As far as the scrape . Definatley want it by a sapling or a overhanging branch thats at least chest level . The deer will rub their glands and lick the branch . Now dont go tying your dripper right on that branch it will defeat the purpose . The trick is to keep your scent away from anywhere near the scrape .
I have heard of people urinateing on the scrapes themselve and they claim it works . I have never tried it , but on the other hand i dont doubt that it would work .
