old indian deer hunting trick

how to do stuff + interesting locations around the province of N.S Canada

[@EvilDwarf-pp5py]

I typically drop a massive steamer right in the middle of the scrape and wipe off on a licking branch. Let me clarify; ONLY NEAR MY NEIGHBOR’S STAND.

[@denniswyse3590]

That's funny as hell, love it man ...

[@amateuralchemist5984]

Exactly like this guy did by grabbing the licking branch in someone else's hunting area. Unfortunately how most hunters act. He was filming it, and still just couldn't help himself. He knows it is bad bc he immediately says he doesn't hunt there after he does it.

[@alanburgess5053]

I could not agree more with you. I use the same trick with a mock scrape and peeing in them. Once the dominant buck in the area thinks there is another buck in his area, he will go crazy hunting the intruder buck. I find this is most successful prerut, when the dominant buck is running out all the other bucks in the area as to keep all the does for his self.

[@SingularPeripheral]

My guys out here creating deer wars lol.

[@gunkanjima3408]

I just finished my 3rd year of gun season, probably starting bow next year. I had no idea scrapes were a thing. Looking forward to learning more

[@jacobkean03]

My grandpa taught me this years ago and playing with scent works very well when you do it right. I remember doing this with him since I was about 5 years old.

[@josephphelps5696]

Ah. Good idea! Also a old Indian trick is to hunt on Sunday, when no one else is out& about!! Ah hunting tricks from ol Joe Crow Bush. From Saskatchewan Big Buck County. ( Worlds Record County).

[@copperjacket00]

Yeah I know about the big bucks out there , lucky buggers you are , Some day I will get out there for a hunt .😀

[@josephphelps5696]

@@copperjacket00 Hope your plans& hunting dreams come true!

[@doitdoitright5916]

Believe it or not you can urinate in the scrape and get a similar effect. This method is definitely worth the effort.

[@eddiecoates4045]

I have a ton of ideas like that but never get out of my truck once the mock scrap has been set. Many tricks. You can start mock scrapes way early. Just have to be scentless and careful of the scent. Preoribital is a fantastic method as well.

[@603outdoors7]

Took all that time and care not to get scent in the scrape, and proceeded to touch the licking branch!😂😂

[@josemufflei3949]

Hey good video...I also do this with scrapes.. but you can tell if there is doe in heat just by tasting and smelling the soil. Take about a tea spoon(about a pinch) of it and roll it around on your tongue if it's tangy then that is there as well... you can also smell it if you get a handful and bury your nose in it and take deep breaths... and always remember where ever you go there you are.. have fun hunting

[@copperjacket00]

ha ha 😆

WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS TAKE TWO SCRAPES AND SWAP THE DIRT SO YOU HAVE TWO BUCKS THAT ARE GOING CRAZY

[@L2FlyMN]

The men & women who were here before, had clay jars, bark containers, woven baskets, so containers were no issue with them & their vast knowledge of making what was needed from the environment around them. 👍👍👍👍👍 I’m going to try this! I have had success bringing deer in front of a trail camera with an installed licking vine & mineral lick below at a 5 trail intersection. It would be fun to watch their reaction on 30 second video to this trick! The licking vine, they lick on it as if it’s a lollipop! Been seeing many different kinds of animals in a relaxed state in the area, even a doe & button buck bedding nearby. 😃 Funny to watch a buck get annoyed at the vine & show some sparring aggression, as it spins & taps him on the head. 😃

[@copperjacket00]

Yup you know , They had lots of containers & they made them . Imagine the lost knowledge they had ?

[@L2FlyMN]

@@copperjacket00 I find it amusing, how people are now looking for what was disregarded as unimportant 300 years ago, looking for inexpensive sustainable & biodegradable options? 🤦🏼‍♂️😑😑🙄🙄🙄

[@rolfnilsen6385]

That was really a neat trick! I'll test it out on roe and red deer over here in Norway.

[@deantaylor1251]

THANKS A LOT FOR THIS INFORMATION, THIS IS ONE I'VE NOT HEARD OF. EXCELLENT INFORMATION

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

Clever idea!! Buk thinks "FRESH MEAT"!! or "Intruder"!! Either way he be watching closer!!

[@tracychilds3546]

Here in my area if you put a trail cam on a scrape there is about 3 to 6 different Bucks that uses the scrapes I've never had a camera on a scrape that there is not multiple Bucks using them and very few Doe even use them if any

[@darrenreddick3206]

Make sure the deer are in church before you collect the dirt and if you give a squirrel a couple of nuts it might get the dirt for you

[@davidgribble263]

The same works in beaver trapping !

[@ballhead3294]

I use my own urine to make a scrape and it always works

[@francisconti9085]

You shouldn't have touched that hemlock!

[@MrOldclunker]

Yep, proved that to my brother and cousins. They didn't believe it till I did it nd then got my buck every time.

[@cha-ka8671]

Old White Guy Trick: Just piss on the scrapes you find where you hunt. They come back and check them. They have no idea who pee'd on it. It's just a smell. Deer don't walk looking for scrapes to pee on. I've been doing it for years and I have yet to not fill my tags. Also, Indian's didn't worry about how many points were on a buck.

[@chadbaillie6760]

I make a scrape and piss in it. Always get bucks on cam within a day or 2

[@jackoneill6292]

😅cut the licking branch move it to a scrape by you and wire tie it !

Just pee on your friends tree stand , deer won't come near his stand ! lol

[@Jeremy-v9r]

​@@denniswyse3590not true. You can literally human pee in a deer scape and that'll get their interest.

[@briangillman735]

I drop a drag with some code blue on it and drag it all the way to my stand and wait for the buck to track me to it!

[@stevefrench3564]

im totaly trying this.. Theres scraps all over the parkway by me... Take it up north next week

[@babyjames6979]

I have plenty of videos and pics from trail cams were the bottled stuff spooks mature bucks.

[@copperjacket00]

thanks for info

[@davidboyle1902]

One has to wonder if young hunters ever came up with new and innovative ideas. I say that cause I know old guys who’ve never had an original idea in their lives.

[@backwoodsbadass7651]

Not gonna lie, watched this thinking ok another yupie that thinks he's a hunter lol, but you sir are a wise man.

[@DOGOTIS-sy2xq]

I was talking to my friend that is half Indian and he said he learned this from his ancestors.

Unzip your fly and piss in the scrape. Same result.

[@earthwise2159]

Good trick, thanks! Interesting though, all that talk about not contaminating anything with human scent, and you just contaminated the hemlock you're hunting near by touching it. I wonder if that had any effect on your hunt 4 years ago?

[@amateuralchemist5984]

He said he doesn't hunt the area he was collecting sample. So he is fine with screwing anyone who does hunt there. In fact, he is filming it and still can't help himself screw other hunters. I wish this type of thing was the exception instead of the rule among hunters

[@richardneely1664]

Also remember to never turn off your tractor or truck when using a spotlight...🔦

[@MrOldclunker]

You can use anything in a scrape. We proved this in college in our wildlife studies. They even followed Aqua Velva...that's aftershave to you folks that don't know. When they are in rut everything turns their attention. Meanwhile, it may take a week for him to come around...I'm going to have my gun ready and down wind. Nothing like a long ass wait, I'd go the heck back over to the active scrape where you gathered the dirt as someone may have ran over this buck with the family Buick. LOL

[@juantovar4861]

[@Lazzoboy]

[@charlesleblanc6638]

It only works if the dirt you use is of a equal or smaller deer. If it's from a big old bruiser you just ran the smaller bucks off or put them on high alert.

[@aladrasullivan9018]

Lol total B.S. they don't know how big they are! 😂

[@mrd4865]

This was taught to me in the 80's when I started hunting, but as I got older I realized it's not necessary. Urine breaks down into ammonia rather quickly, so I doubt you're getting anything other than that. Freshly disturbed dirt is an attractant itself though (visual/scent). Honestly I believe you'd be better off taking the licking branch if you won't hunt there. I have a lot of videos of bucks hitting scrapes and they don't even sniff the ground. Licking branch gets all the attention. It seems to be the most important part of the scrape.
