RE: Mock Scrapes
I found a pair of old waders I'm gonna use this year to stay scent free. Here in Nebraska though its hot when I start trying them so I try to get them done with little sweat as possible. I've tried alot of scents and drips and this year theres a scrape juice I'll try. I think it just another reason to be in the woods and try to see what produces.

RE: Mock Scrapes
I read a lot about this last year and never ended up doing anything. However, one article in paticluar talked about different products for making scrapes. The one product I really liked was called "Deer Dirt". It's a scented dirt that guarantees the scent for up to 30 days I believe. This allows you to attend to your scrape once and not have to spread your scent after the initial visit. The website for this is www.higginsoutdoors.com. Italked toDon Higgins before and he's a very nice guy and could really help you out with your scrapes. The site goes into a lot more detail, but it's an interesting product to say the least!
There was another product that wasa rubber boot cover. I can't remember thename of it, but it was a different type of rubber that hadno scent to it. If I can remember later or if someone else knows what I'mtalking about feel free to post!
Hope this helps!

I have also never luck with a mock scrape, like someone else said, a scrape is not often as good of a place to set up over anyway. I did try to make a few the past couple of years. I have several hunting dvds that gave diffrent ways to build them. I have however found natural scrapes and put out some doe urine and covered them up anhd find them cleaned back out a few days later.

mock scrapes will only work in area's that hold deer. i set up mock scrapes last year and used my own urine (pissed in them) and had 3 bucks check it within 20 minutes of each other. here are the pic's...
the scrape you see in these pic's was made by me when i hung this cam. after making the scrape with my boot, i urintated in it to test this theory.

RE: Mock Scrapes
I am a firm believer in mock scrapes also, The big trick I use if you can find real scrape or better yet a licking branch and use rubber gloves but cut the licking branch or branch that is over a scrape and tie it above your mock scrape and it drives the other bucks in the area nuts because they think there is a new buck in the area.
