RE: Mock Scapes
Last season I started 2 mock scrapes, both were used daily. I knew were the bucks were coming and set them accordingly on the edge of a field behind my house. The bucks cruise a lot in the fall so I put them in spots I could out the window. Hoping to get them to stop in the daylight.
I used a trail maker lure early in the season and then switched to SilverTop from Bob Kirschner around mid October. At that point, the bucks would tear them up.
