I've used them for years. I feel they help increase buck activity in the area. A friend of mine made one on a hunting trip in Ill. 2 yrs. ago. He made it one evening when leaving his stand and urinated in it himself. The next morning upon returning he urinated in it again. 10 minutes afterclimbing in to stand he had a 140 class buck working the scrape just 10 yrds. away but there was nothing he could do. It was not quite light enough to shoot.
