Default Ground scrape question

Hi guys,
On my way back from my stand this morning, I found a FRESH groundscrape....leaves have been blowing around like crazy and this would have been covered up...but it wasn't...fresh dirt was also turned up a little bit in it, and there were droppings right beside it that were still soft...this scrape is about 100 yards in a thicket from my stand...

My question is, I am going back in the morning, but today I am hitting the store for more supplies..some scent blocker spray (ran out today) and Also some doe estrous...

Should I run a drag with the estrous directly from the scrape to my stand?...would that be enough to hopefully draw him in to me? or do I spray a bit in the scrape and do the drag?

Also what brands are best? I have been using code blue , but only on wicks, and I had a 9 point walk by at 80 -85 yards from me on monday morning , too far for a shotgun shot...would code blue work on this?



I am new at this, any help is appreciated...

Thanks!
