Sure, they are called mock scrapes. If you make one, be sure to have a branch over it so the deer can rub their glands on it as well as lick it. I like to have the branch about 5ft. high minimum and I use deer urines and lures in the scrape as well as some lures on the licking branch.
I mainly use them not to attract deer, as they are already walking by anyway, but to get them to stop for a shot in a spot that is an advantage to me.
