RE: Mock Scrapes
I did a couple very similar to LL. One thing as a tip to what's been said. Find a fallen limb and use it to scrape up the ground. I drop a little scent on the end before I do this. Better than hauling a rake into the bush and no issues with bringing in scent on the rake. Scent control a must!
Both were hit regularily. Missed a nice 10 pointer coming to one. I am back with a new one this year and hopefully he will be too!
