Default RE: Need Advice: Hunting a Scrape Line

kgKoon-- I've had great success huntin scrapes the last 5 yrs.
I've seen nice size buck all 5 years huntin near a scrape.
it sounds like those 2 large fresh scrapes with lickin branches are the ones to hunt over.

the best time to hunt these scrapes is between 10:00 and 2:00.
that's the time I've seen those bucks at the scrapes the last 5 years.
I'd hunt about 25-30 yds down wind of the scrape(although the ones I've seen have come to the scrape with the wind to their back, or either in a cross wind.) if there's a thicket close by, then hunt close enough to that thicket so you can get a shot in there. like
Two Beards said, they will stand back away from the scrape and eyeball and wind the scrape instead of comin to it. good luck
