Been following your scrape activity study with great interest. Bowhunting whitetails is quite a passion of mine, and your study has been very interesting and informative. Things are starting to crank up here lately and I was actually thinking of lowering this overhanging branch a little to make it easier to reach. This a natural scrape that I had found and is being visited by numerous good racked bucks as well as smaller ones, and also does. What is your opinion ? Leave well enough alone or lower it a bit? Here are a few sample photos showing the height and just a couple of the bucks visiting the scrape. The last photo shows the height of the branch as seen in relation to the deer in the last photo.
I wouldn't mess with a natural scrapes branch, it's being used by mature deer and all you can do is make things worse
