RE: Using Scents and making scrapes
I have made a few mock scrapes and the one that seemed to work best is the one in which I urinated in. Made it with a stick that I carried out with me as it had my scent on it. I broke a few small limbs on the overhanging branch. When checking later, a buck had totally redone the scrape and almost trashed the overhanging limb. Guess he was mad. It seems that he was only visiting it at night as he was never around during daylight hours.
