Excuse the stupid question but could someone explain how to setup a mock scrape and where?
I'd like to give it a try.

find a low hanging limb that's about chest high off the ground in an area deer frequent, rake out a big spot under it to give the appearance that it's active..then drip scent on the scrape and limb..or take a leak in it. Once the first buck comes through it'll get the real deal in it.

The majority of ours stayed cold, but the few that were active exploded over the last week. Got three new bucks on camera Thursday and Friday with one being a for sure shooter.
Good pics. That bottom buck has some potential and the top one should be good in a few years too.
Having said that, shot placement is key and there is only one level of dead. Us east Texans can't afford turquoise and elk ivories for jewelry. So we use hog tushes and coon peckers.

I watched a cpl yearlings freshen up scrapes this weekend when they were out on the field. Noticed a bunch of them hadn't been touched since the big rain last week.

The younger buck or the older one?

The old one. I'm having the taxi pop pull jawbone for me, but from what I could see and feel he didn't have much there. He should be 6 or 7.

That's a good buck. Congrats. Looks like he either lost a bunch of his kickers this year or they broke off.

They were just bumps this yr on his left side, but put on a lot more mass. Right side still had a kicker and a bump where the other one was.

I finally saw the picture in your other thread. Great buck, really good mass too. You weigh him?

back scrape didn't produce much last check. I think this will be an impressive deer in 3 yrs or so won't turn down yearling 8pts and on the front one there's always opportunity for random visitors

good looking buck, i havent had much luck at all with my scrape
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Looking good! Got some good potential on that young buck too. Any more bucks been following you from the blind?

I had one bothering me Sat night around midnight that was mixed in with a group of does. Caught some dogs running calves that morning and apparently it stressed one too much. Sitting there waiting for its mama to leave it and the truck stayed parked in one spot too long in that spot so the deer swarmed it thinking they were getting fed.
