    I am a southern/western Kentucky hunter. I have come across many scrapes over the years. But have never witnessed one being made. So I ask when is the opportune time to make your mock scrapes? In my area more less.

    I'd assume pre-rut into the rut would be best. This is just on my observations of actually finding them in the suburban area I hunt in VA

    My two cents on mock scrapes is I use them in pa starting when antlers start too harden and here thats usually around mid August. It works well on big mature and small bucks and I have pics and videos of from spikes too high 170s working my mock scrapes in past years.I would be happy too post a few if you would like too see some once I get a little time too dig a few out too post.

    I am setting mine up this month. Bow season is a little over month away and I want to see what dominant bucks are in the area.
