Preorbital and interdigital scents(SWEET VIDEO) I've always been interested in these scents. Deer use scrapes/licking branches year round and so I figured I'd give it a shot. I bought some from Paul pollick and put it to use a few weeks ago. First I found a scrape that looked cleared out and I gave it a spray of interigital and 1 spray of the preorbital on the branch. That same night I had a big 11 come to it and dig into it. He also gave the branch some attention. The next video clip he's fighting with a small 8 pointer. About a week later I made a mock scrape on the other side on the proportie and did the same thing. The next night it was hit by one of the bucks on my hit list I named crab claw. First scene he just investigates. Next scene he comes slowly walking over with his hind legs bent. A small 8 comes into the picture and crab claw charges him. I'll try to upload the videos but when I tried a few weeks ago it said file too big? Anyway just wanted to share my results with you guys. It is possible that the bucks would have checked the scrape and reacted the same even if I didn't docture them up. They only visited the scrapes once so you be the judge. I've never caught anything like this on camera and it seems like the scent got them going. Anyone have similar results?
Those are some really nice bucks. I made a scrape in upstate NY and im going to check on it tomorrow.
The video is of a nice 11 and an 8. The 11 does look like he has "claws" but the deer I call crab claw is a different buck. I tried to upload the video of him chargeing a small 8 but its taking too long. This is crab claw. He is a 7 pointer and he has a distinctive claw on his right beam.
