RE: Mock Scrapes
Shed, I was hopeing you'd respond. I noticed you've mentioned BF in a couple of other post. I'm pretty impressed so far. Since you have some experience with mock scrapes you may be able to answer a question for me.
As double creek had mentioned about BF Forehead scent should be used on the licking branch but from what I've read the deer don't actuall start rubbing their antlers until they have stopped growing and they're shedding their velvet. I am weary of putting a scent on the licking branch that may be 4 or 5 months early. In your experience will the forehead scent be ok this early in the year?
I'd imagine I'll be ok without it. Based on the amount of sign at the scrape sites I feel the other deer are using the licking brach so there should be scent there. This should hold true for the "traditional scrape" but the "new scrapes" is were I fear a problem may arise as deer havn't been licking the branch before. So far all seems good. Just curious if you have an opinion on the subject.
