most scrapes are made at night....where is the scrape located? coming from a bedding area? along the edge of a field? travel route? the best time to hunt that scrape is RIGHT after it stops raining....just as your scent got washed away, so did the buck's. He wants every deer to know that this is his area. Also, you can always freshen up and piss him off by pissing in the scrape. The deer smell the ammonia in the scrape and all mammals (including humans) omit ammonia when they piss...the buck will be checking scrapes for the next 2-2.5 weeks so time it out and you might score.....
