Default RE: What scent to use for mock scrapes?

Since your new to the forums I'll post this again. Welcome to the forums.

There was a study done in Bowhunter magazine. In the study several mock scrapes were set up using four scents.....there were several scrapes for each of the 4 scents.


In the scrapes were buck urine, doe urine, human urine and new car smell....that's right, new car smell.


Over the scrapes they set up both video and still cameras. The scrapes that were visited the most were the scrapes that held buck urine and the scrapes containing human urine and both visited equally....

The scrapes containing doe urine and the ones using the new car smell were both visited equally but less frequent than the scrapes containing buck or human urine...

SO, according to this study, you should use a buck urine based scent for your mock scrapes....

That being said, I've made several mock scrapes over the years and only successfully witnessed one buck using one scrape containing Tinks 69.

I've since used Bob Kirshners Silver Top.....with marginal success.....mostly I feel scents are a waste of time....but I still test them.

Good luck.
