Mock scapes
Have any of you used deer droppings in your mock scrapes?
Last weekend I made a scrape using droppings that I had collected at a park near my house where the deer come in to eat the acorns. I also put some BF-FGland by Hawgs Limited on the branches and ground. I checked it today and it is really tore up. I added some Tinks 69 gel and BF-Rut by Hawgs Limited.
I hope to get out Sat. morning. I haven' t seen any big ones yet, but I have only been hunting in the mornings. I did see 8 does, 9 fawns, and 3 small bucks last Sunday.

RE: Mock scapes
I made 3 mock scrapes last week around areas with rubs and I' m going to check them today. One, I put doe urine in, the other my pee because I read an article saying how mock scrapes with human pee attracted MORE deer! The third, I just peed in it and put a big bottle of salt in, I don' t know why the salt, just to experiment.
I' ll let you know what I find out. Here is a link to that article about the mock scrapes.

RE: Mock scapes
this may be a stupid question but I' ve got no experience with mock scrapes and was wondering how long after you freshen up a scrape should you expect action.
I know of a nice ridgeline that is littered with rubs and scrapes and was thinking of trying it out.
Thanks.

RE: Mock scapes
Acutally thats not a stupid question some people are different i use a scent dripper with doe urine in the pre and post rut and then when i get to the stand i use some excite doe estous its really think and sticky like honey and you can dip limbs and twings in it and put that over the scrapes to get some action i killed a 6pt 125lbs over the average for oklahoma last year
