RE: Strategies for dealing with other hunters
Yes, in fact that is the only reason I make mock scrapes. I'll make a scrape where I know the deer are not going to be and tell the other hunter about it. He'll sit right there until the season ends.
Disclaimer - I only do this to one guy, who happens to be a complete idiot. He is a danger to himself as well as others, and is an embarrassment to the human race.
