Here's my 2 cents,

I use a long stick (anything I find in the woods)to make the scrape so I can stand back and not step in it or touch it. I also use a dropper or spray bottle to put doe estrus/urine in the scrape. Almost all the realscrapes I've found are on flat open areas in the woods or on logging roads so I try to pick similar spots.

Good luck.
