Honestly I've never had alot of succes hunting scrapes. They are mainly made and visited at night. here's alink to an interesting short article on scrapes.

Dasher found that 90 percent of all visits occurred after legal shooting hours. Other studies support these same findings. Is scrape hunting worth our time? Well, research indicates that if you hunt at night (which is obvious illegal), specifically an hour after sunset and a half-hour prior to daybreak, you stand a good chance of seeing a buck visiting a scrape. Not surprising, Dasher found visitation rates at scrape sites dropped to near zero percent during the rutting time period

I did take a nice 8 pt after watching him work a scrape. The stand was there well before the scrape was however.
