RE: Mock Scrapes
i ruined a good area by setting up a scrape dripper. i had an area with 4 or 5 active scrapes in it. licking branches, rubs...all of it right there. dummy me got sick of waitin so i bought an "active scrape dripper" and used the scent that came with it. went in late morning in the middle of a rain storm. already hunt ready scent free...hung it...came back about a week later and the whole area was abandoned.
dont know if i got busted or they didnt like the fake bottled pee or what but by the looks of it they didnt touch the scrapes or anything since i hung the dripper. took me a while to find it because the scrapes were covered in leaves....
want to try again this year...but with REAL buck and doe urine from a deer farm. doubt i do though...i ruined a good setup there. i hear those scrapes that are grouped together like that are the ones to kill bucks at..i ruined it
