I'm beginning to think I'm seriously terrible at making mock scrapes. OR it could be I have too much testosterone in my scrape juice!  I don't know why mock scraping works so well for some and not well at all for others. But I suspect the problem would be low testosterone instead of high testosterone.  Could be too much human odor ?
Maybe, but I sure get great results even when I'm not being that careful of my scent.

There is muvh about scrapes we don't know, may not ever know. I start almost all my mock scrapes in the spring while turkey hunting...let me make that, "I use to start..." I don't make them any more.
But I have had deer start "working a scrape the same day, in fact I watched a small buck hit one less than an hour after I made it 40 yards from one of my stands.
I use nothing but my own urine to start them and freshen them every time I go by one.

BSK- I think it is the location of mock scrape above all else. If you will notice, there are a lot of scrapes that go untouched once a deer makes them because they are in the right place-a buck decided to make one.
If you use that method of making a mock scrape, it is useless. I never kept track but I suspect maybe 50-60% of my mock scrapes get some action. I have noticed the ones I thought were in the best location get the most action.

Location is definitely critical. The best spot for one is where one should be but isn't (yet). Of course, that doesn't help those who are new to scouting...

Bryan, just wondering on the daytime pics your getting over scrapes (mock or natural) of your mature deer.....Are the majority of them in hollows are low areas in general? I have had mine on ridges, but havent gotten any mature bucks show up there in daylight (yet). I think that "Yet" is key, but I was just wondering about that. I would tend to think they would be down low during daylight and it looked like (from what I remember) that they were in hollows in your pictures.

Both ridges and valleys, but the valley scrapes I'm getting the most older buck pictures from are in thick cover. The ridgeline scrapes are in open hardwoods along old logging trails.

Maybe you should take some urine samples BSK.
Have done so!
