I had a spot for years that would always get a scrape every year, but it was always under a branch that hung over the trail. Finally one year one of the bucks finally broke the branch off that hung over the trail. That year the spot went cold leading up to rifle season - something that never happened.

I figured there was nothing wrong in trying to revive the spot - so I zip tied a branch to the tree, and opened a small spot on the ground for a mock scrape. I setup my trail camera there, and watched as they started using that spot again!

As you can see... it works!


I didn't use any scents....

What tips or tricks do you use for your mock scrapes?
