I purchased my own private land for the first time this spring. I’ve always hunted public land and family land in the past. I’ve been deer hunting for over 20 years and have been watching your videos for a few now, and I’m going to definitely use the vine mock scrape this year. Thanks for all the great content!

[@jesse7486]

made a mock scrape per your vids on a bench connecting a swamp to bedding/ food source not only did i have a small doe hit it within 12 hours. had about 6 different deer i never even knew were on the property hit all within 6 days. Glad theres still people like Jeff that arent out to take peoples money but to continue the hunting legacy and see people succeed thanks brother🦌

I live on only 1.4 acres. Put a hanging vine in this summer. Deer were visiting it in less then 24 hrs. That trail cam vid was so satisfying to see it actually works.

[@zacharykowasz7799]

Put in a few vine mock scrapes this year based on Jeff’s tips. The wind was finally right for the first sit last night, had 3 2.5yr old bucks within 15yds that hit the scrape and never knew I was there. What an in incredible tool to define the buck movement in your area for FREE. I see advertisements for hemp rope and various scents, don’t waste your money!

I can attest to the value of this, The time and money in it is nothing and the results are awesome. Thanks for the info. Try this you will not regret it!

[@grantgemlo7348]

Last year in northern Minnesota I noticed the deer using a Norway pine branch as a licking branch above a scrape they opened in the food plot. So I used another v shaped Norway pine branch that I cut and hung from the groove in a branch of a tree on another food plot and the deer started using it shortly after. Pretty cool to see it work out.

[@Predhunter492]

I havent seen any deer on my property. I put the movk scrape in two days ago and i’ve gotten trail cam hits of deer. Thank you so much for the ideas

What a coincidence. I literally just cut down and installed a scrape tree with a licking branch 2 days ago. And set up my camera against some egyptian wheat like you did with the corn. Can't wait to see what kind of deer will hit it 🤗.

[@rafimartinez1438]

Hello Jeff. I am knew to your channel and I've been enjoying all of your videos. They are very informative and to the point. Do you have any videos on how you manage bugs during early season warm days hunts? I not sure smelling like OFF is a great idea. In particular how to protect against ticks while remaining stealthy. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I understand the idea of cementing the tree in. Does that harm or kill the tree, or doesn't affect it and will keep growing?

Definitely kills it!

[@thelzmovement6480]

Do you recommend urinating on the mock scrape? I was told that it helps for the realistic feel after a day or so?

Hiya, Jeff. Got a quickly for ya, I ended up with a new property and have no scrapes or rubs on it , but the property is loaded with Super Stars! It is a bucks only area with hardly any does. Do you have any idea why there wouldn’t be any rubs and scrapes. Never seen this before.

[@_DeFiNiTeLy_Not_BrAd_]

Should we wear gloves when handling the licking branches? What would you do if you had to many natural branches hanging that they use, trim them up to force them towards the one you want?

[@johnkosmatka2280]

I have never used gloves but I am cognizant of not touching the lower part of the vine. Also I do cut down natural scrapes.

[@kellymcnamara8670]

How often do you replace the vines? Every couple of years?

I've used this since the first time you posted a video on this with great success. Have you ever tried 3/4 to 1" hemp rope instead of the vine?

[@LukeMelancon37]

Just made a scrape tree yesterday in a food plot I planted, what do you do to keep bears out?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Luke...I can be honest and say I have never had any problems with a bear hitting a scrape tree or have heard so from my clients. DEFINITELY don't use a fruit tree as a scrape tree tho 😁 We have random bears coming thru at times but haven't had them damage the scrapes at all...

[@archeryaddict8652]

We have 6 black bears currently hitting our plots in Tennessee too . They knocked the scrape tree over after a week . So we will be participating in bear season this year.

[@michaelwilhelm562]

Not much you can do about bears. Here in Virginia they tare up camera's. An the deer definitely don't like the bears.

[@tatecarter5167]

Off topic, but will too much rain ruin your food plot seed? For example, spreading your plot seed when there’s 5-6 days in a row of rain in the forecast.

[@kurtpearson2793]

Depending on soil conditions I’ve heard to look for seed washing into low spots on dirt plots. Normally existing grasses and plant life hold them but hard dirt could be risky?

[@railroader8728]
