I know this may be different that what some on the site may think but, I have found over time that it is better not to mess with the scrape. I have also seen that while some of the smaller bucks may make scrapes sometimes the largest more dominate buck in the area may not. I like to stick with mother nature and go natural. Just keep an eye on the scrape without getting too close. You will be able to tell if he or another buck is cleaning the scrape or not. If not, don' t sweat it. You can be assured that they are still in the area and will travel close to the scrape. Good luck!! -- CDH
