I wish I knew more about scrapes....

I've been lucky enought o see a few deer work them (including 4 work the same scrape within 1.5 hours of each other in the same morning). But....that same morning....the best buck I saw never went to the scrape (he waltzed by within 15 yds of it....but didn't work it). He likely (looking back) scent-checked the field....but decided against coming into it.

The others I've seen worked were more solitary....and only worked by a particular buck.

I "thinK" the only way I'd hunt a scrape again......is to see a really good buck working a particular scrape.....and go back to it. OR....if I had a LOT of good bucks in my woods...the "community" scrape route might be the ticket.

I have so few shooters where I hunt, though......that I like my odds in different areas, better.

These threads are always interesting, though.
