Just wondering how people make these...when...and if they seem to work ....some of the time, all the time..? Do you refresh them and how often?
thanks

To my amazement every deer that came by them stopped to check them out and a couple of bucks re-worked them. I quit carrying a pee bottle and let it fly from the stand every since. I can't tell you how many times I've had deer at the base of my tree checking out that scent. The whole "piss thing" changed for me. I've been doing it every since.
It's the next best thing to baiting for bucks. I suggest trying using your right hand to freshen up your scrape initially and then switching to your left hand next to see which works better for you. Once you are proficient with either hand you have entered the realm of a master baiter.
Good post, they "work" great but ist about 85% useage at night!BSK said:What do you consider "work?" Kill bucks off them? I rarely if ever kill bucks working any scrape, mock or real. Get bucks to use them? If that is the definition of "work," I've been doing so very successfully for 15 years. In fact, it is my primary technique for getting bucks on camera in October and November.

I agree, don't know an exact % but its really high after dark!!!BSK said:Winchester said:Good post, they "work" great but ist about 85% useage at night!BSK said:What do you consider "work?"

For older bucks, make it 95% and I agree!
Although I did get a new mature buck to work one of my mock scrapes on the 24th at 5:50 PM, just before dark.

Good idea climb_higher about keeping a "scrape juice" container. I have to admit, at my age, straining to freshen yet another scrape might cause me to blow a gasket!![]()
