Nope.......found three scrapes and a lot of rubs so far. Ground was torn up and the licking branches were broke. This morning I had a buck we called grape eight come into light rattling and rubbed a tree about sixty yards away. It made my morning.

Honestly, save your money and your time. Don't stink up the woods with artificle junk. HUNT the deer. Learn their patterns. Find the food. Don't go stinking up the place. Mock scrapes were invented by someone trying to sell you a bottle of imitation junk supposedly designed to fool the smartest nose in the woods. Guess who wins? Exactly, the guy selling the cow pee in a bottle. Go hunting.... forget the fooling business. Go Stinky Free as you can..

Now, I actually start in Aug. Don't have to buy anything. Rubber boots, rake and be done with it. It's great to get pics of bucks after they break out of the summer routine. Done it for years- you can pour water in the dirt area, or pee, or do nothing. Just made a new one two days ago. Do it in a spot that they'll visit at night- along a field edge and you don't bump deer. I've seen them get squirrely on camera occasionally though- so be careful with scent.
