So 2 weeks ago,Dan and I decided to set up a mock scrape and freshen with some HS scrape scent, along with a dripper, and a camera to see what decided to visit. This was all setup on his property, near one of the food plots. Not really an area where we see lot of big bucks, but we see lots of little to average ones here and lots of does. I gotabout 40 pictures total of 12 different animals, of which more than half were bucks. We got nothing huge on camera (except thefirst 2 pics.......we don't know what he is exactly but he looks big), but we will be setting up the camera and another mock scrape probably this upcoming weekend in areas better known for big buck sightings just to see what we can get.
Honestly, I'm absolutely impressed with the amount of deer movement spurred by this mock scrape, and most of it is during daylight andof bucks........anyone else see this type of activity over a mock scrape? I sat on Saturday night about 70 yards away from this with my bangstick, looking to fill a doe tag and all I saw was the same 5 pointer come through that I got video of earlier this year. Still pretty cool though. I can see these mock scrapes being setup in 3-4 key locations on Dan's place as well as my own for next season, just to help takeinventory during the season. What a fantastic tool......
Here are a few of the pics to share........Look at the size of the body on the 3 point!!! What kind of animal is the last pic? [8D]
