RE: Natural Mock scrape found
raxx is right...they arent "mock scrapes" the term"mock scrape" is when a hunter makesa scrape to MOCK(look like) a real scrape..
your finding is pretty common. i find it more common to find multiple scrapes in an area. i had one buck make like 6 within a 50yd area.
your finding may be active. id keep an eye on it. if its old it would probably be filled in with leaves by now...they dont last long untended. the leave fall and wind covers them up pretty quick. might wanna keep an eye on it. ive found scrapes still active clear into january. though they do tend to slow up after the rut and may not be worth hunting...i dont know...im going to try to do research on it this offseason..i think scrape hunting could be the ticket if done right...i just gotta do the research and figure out when, where, what scrapes etc..
