Yep - I always start August off with mock scrapes with trail cams on them -
some of my best ones have become community scrapes - and does especially visit them all year.

What did you find the best location was?

And what type of tree branch lol. Leafless, pine, oak? I don't have a licking branch on my property as I didn't have a single scrape last year. I think that will change with all the work I've done to it this year, and implementation of food plots and strategically placed water.

To be honest, it has been a number of years since the did the work and I can't remember all the details. As I recall, field edges and travel routes between bedding and were more effective than general hardwood flats. I think they avoided bedding areas because of the disturbance.
Thanks,

my best locations are on scrapes that are there from year to year - I just get them started. Sometimes they just stay DOE scrapes until Sept - other times every deer around comes on by -

Do you guys use just one brand of deer urine, or do you get several brands to " smell like a herd " ??

I tie down oak branches around here. Kill the grass with gly and pee on them when I walk by.
Literally Just finished installing this willow rubbing post/scrape tree. They just can't leave them alone when they stick out like a sore thumb.
3 more to do tomorrow.

I just put a scrape tree in yesterday in my brassica plot! Never tried one before! Can't wait to watch it while hunting! I've heard they really like them!

Bill what do you do, cut a willow branch and just stick it in the ground?

Walnuts are good since they loose their leaves early and get more sun to the ground. Edges of timber are best early spots. Once you get an eye for licking branches you will start noticing them along certain areas all summer.

That is what I do but I use popple. I have eyed up a couple branches on a big hybrid poplar tree that I am going to use this year.

Yep.
But I use what's close by as far as the tree goes. I try to get one with a 4" trunk, hand post hole dig about 2 - 3 feet. Get rid of all the low limbs and save a few at scrape height.
If you cut the branches of a cedar they hold up better but it takes longer for them to use it. In my experience.
This was a hybrid poplar I used last year. By November it was leaning. By spring it was on the ground.
This is a cedar with old rope hanging. It's been here for about 5 years. They didn't touch it for a full year. Maybe the rope stunk? It came out of the loft of my old barn. After the first year of being ignored they play with it all the time.

I always figure about 32ozs about 30mins before you start your project.:D I am hoping I can put one in tomorrow.
