Just got back from checking my scrapes and I think they're starting to generate some interest.

I've got two sets of two scrapes each, one set situated on the upper part of a hollow along a trail and the other set at the head of a separate hollow just outside of a bedding area. The scrapes within each set are about 10 yards apart from each other.

The first set I checked had a decent sized hoof print in it. This was the same scrape that had a small print last week so I know that at least two deer have been hitting it. The other scrape in this set was untouched.

One of the scrapes in the second set had a very nice sized hoof print in it and it looked as though the licking branch had been played with. While I can't say for sure that this was a buck track, if it's not then there's a heck of a big doe running around up there.

I freshened all four scrapes with more BF Gland and dumped in a couple teaspoons of Pre-Rut formula. It had rained hard here midweek, so I had a pretty good inidcation that the activity was recent. I can also say that at least three diffent deer have visited the scrapes in the past three weeks. I've got my fingers crossed that the activity will pick up exponentially as more and more deer visit these things and do the freshening for me. We shall see!
