Yesterday while hunting I decided to walk a different part of the public land that I hunt and I stumbled upon a convergence of three game trails with some fresh sign of deer activity in the area. I am thinking about making a mock scrape since I have a tinks dripper that I still haven't used yet this season. However, with rut about to go into full swing next week or so, I don't know if this is too late... Any thoughts?
I don’t think it’s to late, but I’m no expert. As long as it’s on an active run. the bucks will be cruising the intersections of their trails with the doe trails... I think it would be beneficial to do it ASAP, but cleanly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Made one last night and put a trailcam up to see if anything starts to check it. A lot of deer sign in the area, so I am hopeful!
I took a different path from the trail camera this morning, I quote Robert Frost when I say the path less traveled. I noticed a line of scrapes down a fence line that is the path the bucks from trophy town take. (trophy town is the gated community that butts up to my property) Funny how a path less traveled can lead to optimism and motivation, go make some scrapes.
just found my first scrape line on the property this past weekend and they weren't there Friday when I poked through. found 7 of them all less then 100 yards apart from each other, I'm sure right now would be an ideal time to throw one up and see what action it gets. I just put two cameras out over the two biggest I found hoping to catch one of my shooters working it - praying its not being hit during nocturnal times only. best of luck!
