I tried a scrape dripper last year for the first time... not much luck with it... I have made a scrape in an area where other's have been and pee'd in it myself and that worked better, believe it or not.
Clear the leaves/debris under a branch in a high traffic area about 4-5 feet off the ground and take a piss on the dirt. Only a matter of time before they take it over. If you are looking to buy a product - I've had great success with Code Blue products and mock scrapes.
In my experience with mock scrapes over the years, I have found the buck and doe pee to be almost worthless. Over the past few years, I have been using HS Lickin Stik but unfortunately, it's no longer available. I have tried Rack Rub with absolute ZERO response. The product I now use is Wicked Wicks from Smokeys. I just got a jar a few weeks ago and sprayed it on a few over-hanging branches on trails. I already have bucks and does with fawns in tow checking out the scent REPEATEDLY. Any type of real forehead or pre-orbital scent will greatly out perform deer pee for mock scrapes.
