I just started getting scrapes on my property. Its on a completely different location than most of the buck sign and I dont have a trail cam set up in that corner. I was thinking about freshing them up and making a mock scrape by it. But I dont know the size of the deer in that corner and im worried that another buck scent on his scrape line will put him off it.
Don't be afraid to go in there and make a mock scrape. If the other buck sees a scrape that he didn't make he might become even more aggressive and take it over. You might be able to catch him in the daylight checking the scrapes. Just make sure you are scent free when doing it. If the buck smells human scent on the scrapes he will abandon them.
