RE: Mock Scrapes
I generally don't start making mock scrapes this early, usually August. However, we have had some really great success with mock licking branches as well. Apple, Oak ,and Hemlock seem to work the best. We "zip tie" the branches to what ever we can find on trails or over mock or existing scrapes and they really seem to encourage deer to stop and spend some time. These are both bucks and does. I will also spray the moch licking branch tips with B/F Gland for a little added attraction factor. Seems to work really well. I had very good luck with the synthetic urines in some areas and marginal in others. I still have a good deal of faith in it and look forward to what this year may bring. Keep us posted as to how things progress. TGK
