I've had a good ibt of success with mock scrapes in the past too. Not for hunting purposes, but I guess kinda as an "attractant". Just something to boost their curiosity to give me a better idea of the bucks in the area. The results: a a 1.5yr old. two 2.5yr. old 8's and a massive 3.5 year old 9pt.

Also, deer do work scrapes all year round- so setting up a camera may not be a bad idea this time of year. Again, deer are naturally curious and it will give you a better idea of the bucks on your land.
