RE: FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HUNT SCRAPE LINES
 

Their has been alot of good advice already given, but one that I would definantly use is the scrape dripper. I have alot more luck making a mock scrape next to an existing one as this seems to get the bucks interest alot more in my opinion. Remember though, scrapes along a field edge could only be boundry or territorial scrapes made by a buck that just gets in the mood to say, hey this is my area and stay out. You know that the buck is traveling here due to the scrapes and rubs, but might not really frequent the area as much as he would a breeding scrape. The breeding scrape has an overhanging limb that the buck will lick and leave scent from glands on his head. And like said earlier, several bucks might visit the same scrape, so even though you might view a smaller buck in it, it doesn't mean that a shooter will not move in and take it over. A trail camera will let you know the story. I usually go over from an existing breeding scrape and make a mock scrape and hang a dripper about five feet off the ground on a limb so that the scent will drip into you scrape. Break some of the limbs over to make it look like a buck has been there. I have had good luck with wildlife research active scrape. Remember to be as scent free as possible when making your scrape, take all precautions and even where rubber gloves to avoid leaving any scent at all. Set up down wind of the scrape when you hunt as a buck will usually always approach from the downwind side and can scent check a scrape without being close to it. I hope this advice helps you, and good luck. By the way, I took a 180 pound 10 point on Halloween using this method.
