I have had success with mock scrapes over the years.I have taken the limbs over a fresh scrape cut them off and move them to where I want the mock scrape.You can fool a buck this way in thinking he has made a new scrape and he will start to open it up.I use rubber gloves to tie the limbs up.The branches or licking stick I find is an important part of any scrape.A buck chews the branches and leaves his scent on them.This works good for when you need to be near a tree to hang your stand.I also use a scent dripper but take it out with me when I am not hunting.You don't want a buck to smell the scent when you are not there or he may freshen it at night only.
