Who all here have made mock scrapes and how well have they worked? What all do you need to do to make the scrape? Thanks in advance.
This is something I posted before...I did a copy paste for you... My buddy Frank and I have had decent results while using Mrs. Doe Pee's Estrus Urine in real scrapes as well as mock scrape setups. I do not use these urine products very often on my hunting grounds which I believe makes them effective when I do choose to use them. Over use of these urine products I believe is very detrimental to ones odds of having a positive response when a buck catches the scent. On an existing scrape I will douse the licking branch with Estrus urine allowing it to trickle down into the scrape. I will also add some to the scrape it's self being careful to not touch anything and keep my boots out of and clear of the freshly exposed bare earth. On a mock setup I will find a tree branch (preferably from a mature oak or maple) with a branch approx 4-6 feet off the ground. I will then find a loose stick on the ground and use it to clear a spot approx 12"X20" directly underneath my mock licking branch. Again I douse the branch in the Estrus urine and allow it to drip down onto the exposed dirt. Again, I will add some extra urine to the ground as well. That's it. It is that simple. Here are photo's of a few bucks that were taken that either committed to a real scrape doctored with urine or a mock setup by either Frank or I, these are all public land bucks. I am not one to use these product's very often, but by using them smart and sparingly they have worked for me. However, Frank uses urine products MUCH more than I. This is one area we do not see eye to eye on. Frank's public land. Frank's public land. Mine public land. Mine public land.
Those are some nice public land bucks. Do you set up the scrape the day you are hunting or do you give it some time?
