Wildlife Research Center Golden Scrape Scent Deer Attractant Lure for Whitetail Deer Hunting.

Active Scrape and Golden Scrape scents should be used pre-rut and into the primary rut to establish presence and dominance. Think of it as playing a mind game with big bucks.

Mock scrape creations should be used to attract deer, inventory bucks and define deer movement. Just like deer waterholes, the more that you have the lower the value of each one to the point of insignificance. How many mock scrapes should you have on your land? Just enough!

You want to place your scrape bomb above. Your bucks licking branch. So that the scent transfers from above down onto the branches of the tree.

My favorite spot is a field edge at the bottom of the field's downhill side. Deer will often enter fields at night in low spots since thermals push scent down in the evening. Having a mock scrape here can be dynamite, as it will be one of the first things a mature buck will check before heading off into the night.

Most hunters have seen a scrape and know that it is an area anywhere from a foot to 3 or 4 feet in diameter where deer clear leaves and vegetation with their front feet, exposing a disk of fresh earth. Both bucks and does will make scrapes, but they are predominantly made by bucks.

Most scrapes do not go deep into the skin, but some may remove several layers of skin. Scrapes usually don't bleed much, but they may ooze pinkish fluid. Scrapes on the head or face may appear worse than they are.

Tink's® Power Scrape® is a powerful synthetic buck lure designed for the entire season. Power Scrape® can be used on natural or mock scrapes to condition deer to frequently return to your stand location.

A powerful synthetic deer lure, Power Scrape Mock Scrape Starter provides the wonderful lasting ability. USE ON MOCK AND ACTIVE SCRAPES: Appealing to a buck's social ranking and dominance, this lure can influence travel patterns when used on mock and active scrapes.

Mock scrapes are a scrape that you the hunter creates. Simply put, you are tearing up the ground under a licking branch or an overhanging branch to entice a whitetail into a particular spot. The reason for this is whitetails use scrapes as a communication hub.

The actual mock scrape is best created with a sturdy stick found in the area. Try to make the scrape on flat ground if possible and make sure it is free from all debris. A heat-activated scent dripper can help with conditioning a buck into showing up during legal light and spending more time in the area.

Scrapes are shallow depressions with gently sloping edges, which seasonally hold water. They create obvious in- field wet features that are attractive to wildlife. They can be created on areas of damp grassland, upland in-bye land and on arable reversion on floodplains.
