Default RE: What Scents are in a Whitetail Scrape

Here is the answer provided by T.R. Michels on the COFA (Christian OUtdoor Fellowship Of America) website.

This question is important - if you want to use the correct scents "in" the dirt of a scrape. However, I am not saying you can't use other scents in a scrape -nor that these are the only scents that may be found in a scrape.

Whitetail bucks paw the ground, using several strokes with first one front hoof, and then the other, then they often step foward, crouch a bit with their hind legs close together, and rub-urinate over the tarsal gland on the inside of the lower leg, leaving behind interdigital scent from between the hooves of each hoof, and urine, testosterone and tarsal scent in the scrape.
They may also defecate in or near the scrape.

Does have been known to sniff, walk through and urinate near scrapes.


May Yahweh-God bless you and your families in these times of need,

T.R. Michels
