Scents & Mock Scrapes

[HogHunter34]

I did hit the search button on some older threads. I know a lot of those scents are just $ makers

Any tactics you guys use pre-rut or as the rut approaches on scents, wicks, drag, buck bombs?
Any try mock scrapes & monitor with camera?
Personally, I’ve never tried either

In for the creative strategy minded….

Yes on the mock scrapes. Make the scrape pee in it and setup a camera. No other scents required. You will be really surprised at how many deer will go to it. Have had great luck in Newton county.

All the time. And if it’s a dominant buck, it will **** him off. Probably will find some small trees or bushes all tore up.
I like making mock scrapes in between the real ones. After a while, my scrape is the only one getting worked.

I run mock scrapes from August-November. I’ve got 100’s of videos on my phone. I get more “customers” at my scrapes than corn piles

Vertical free swinging vine or branch. FLAT CLEAN earth….. I make scrape about 24” in circumference. DONE. SOMETIMES I pee in them, usually I don’t

You don’t have to believe me and thats ok. Use a steel rake underneath an appropriate height licking branch or hang a branch from a para cord. Apply Grave Digger and your own urine.

This works better than any product on the market

One of my new sites this season. Had 7 bucks, 3 doe and a huge boar using it almost daily. Day and night.
Also get coyotes and fox using them too

Sometimes I’ll spray down the bottom of my rubber boots with doe estrus. have had a few bucks follow it over the years

Put on some brown coveralls and spray yourself down with doe estrus. Crawl around near scrapes. Please video.

Good grief I ain’t got that drunk yet

[HogHunter34]

Sounds like I need to get a mock scrape going
Thanks for the input from personal experiences

Mock scrapes flat out work, period.

Mock scrapes work. Just make one and pee in it. Be sure not to get your scent on anything.

I’ve had good luck with Buck Bomb Doe in Estrus. Use during the rut. It’s a fogger. I set it off prior to getting in my blind and watched several bucks approach it. I do not have much faith in any other product. Deer urine works well in the scrape also. Make sure you’re buying the real stuff and not synthetic
