3 Reasons To Cut Down A Buck Scrape

[@brianstiff5680]

Class is very good

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you very much Brian!! Really appreciate it...

[@whitewood2000]

definitely need to do this

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Great way to enhance your stand locations! Add 1 mock scrape per stand location and cut the rest down that take bucks away from the line of movement that you are hunting

[@whitewood2000]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I have a nice mock scrape set up for a tree stand I just hung, but I also have a natural scrape directly behind my stand so this concept applies to me perfectly when it comes to line of movement. Thank you!

[@radamrussell]

Good stuff Jeff. I been spreading your gospel down here in Texas. Digging your concepts and presentation.

[@mikemellon80]

man that is smart. I've never seen anyone else suggest this. showing why Jeff is the best. keep the great new content coming

[@KillShotsSurvivalAdventures]

Thank you so much for all your intelligence and expertise on the videos gives me a ton of new information. As being a new hunter I am creating good habits instead of listening to these older hunters. I have heard you talk about old legends and I started using their ways and am quickly finding that most of the information received from them is useful but not accurate

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi David I really appreciate you being a new hunter...and I appreciate the feedback too! It's crazy, hunting (and fishing a bit) are about the only activities where everyone is an expert. It becomes hard to sift thru all of the "good advice" ☺️ Hope this stuff really helps you out this season 👍

[@KillShotsSurvivalAdventures]

Weather or not I shoot a deer this year i am constantly learning new things from your videos to apply to the years to come and be very successful in the future. Like after watch this scrape video I realized I have placed my stand incorrectly and need to change it lol. So thank you so very much!!!! If you ever want a tag along or wanna come back to your home state to visit i would love to walk the woods and pick your mind hahahahaha

[@KillShotsSurvivalAdventures]

Yes he is but I consider him to be a professional unlike the old timers I seek knowledge from at times.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Ha, I feel like it at times, lol. Finding I can't hang as many stands in a day as I used to 😁

Another great show brother 7 days and counting putting out my last round of rye to fill in holes today...

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Chris...man, so close now!! Crazy...

[@chrismacomber9727]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 You think its to close to season to be putting rye in?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I have broadcast a LOT lately! May buy some bucks a bit but they will settle down soon. Depends on how set you are hunting opening day and where your plots are located.

[@chrismacomber9727]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 cool thanks for the info brother I know it's hard to say when you can't see the property and how its setup

[@stuffnsuch631]

I can't get my deer to use the mock scrape. They walk by it or near it but don't really care about it..

[@codydupree9771]

Started using your mock scrape recipes last year Jeff, have gotten more buck pictures last year and so far this year than I’ve ever gotten on a corn pile.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That is awesome to hear...yes, they definitely put a corn pile to shame 👍 Crazy how many scientific census studies are conducted on corn piles... Enjoy, they truly are a Lot of fun!!

[@codydupree9771]

I did use to be a big corn pile guy but since I started watching your mock scrape videos. I haven’t put out a drop of corn.

[@codydupree9771]

Russell Langworthy idk if it draws deer in general In better or not but I’ve had more mature buck pics on mock scrapes than corn piles. Just my personal experience.

[@stevenmiller7964]

This is something I have never thought of. 40 years experience with multiple good bucks harvested yet I still continue to learn. Thank you.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Great to hear Steven...awesome thanks experience too! Very cool...good luck this season!

another great video. keep up the good work!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you very much CM! Will do my best for sure

[@camofamilyoutdoors]

I have added your hanging limb style scrape this season at a primary stand next to a food plot. I have got rid all other low hanging limbs surrounding except one at a pinch point on the other end of the field. I added plot screen several years ago and my buck number doubled. Have added diversity pockets, switch grass because of your videos. Great info as always!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man that all sounds really good! Love to hear it and it is also cool to hear about your success! What it is all about - hard work rewarded!

[@Civilizedfish]

It’s getting close to that time of year here in North Carolina! Great information in this video!! Thanks Jeff!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a lot Matt and man...food luck down there in NC... hopefully a nice cold front hits ☺️

[@kevinfowler6065]

I got sucked into creating a ton of mock scrapes by a guy in lower MI about ten years ago. After doing that I noticed the intensity of use on any one of the old giant scrapes or the new ones I created diminished greatly. A couple years later I took the majority of mine down and over the years since after finding you Jeff, have stayed with maintaining a few properly placed scrapes and licks. It changed almost everything for me. This mornings video is a perfect explanation of that system, thanks again and always. I hope MN is good to you and the family. Ksf

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you so much Kevin!! Really appreciate your feedback and sang, you are not alone! Trying to help hunters out as much as possible and it makes it all worth it hearing from hunters like you. Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!

[@normyoder2622]

This channel is a great source of information.allso inspiration, I would've never thought to cut away a branch to take away a scrape.but in this case it's the right thing to do. Jeff , you are in your zone and for sure lovin it.me too😊

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Norm, really appreciate it! This stuff is a lot of fun but most of all I hope that it all helps! Have a great Labor Day weekend ☺️

[@tankandlaci]

Definately looking forward to,joining the online tutorials and classes. The ability to download and watch the classes on devices while in the field and travelling would be the slam dunk bonus to this. WiFi/signal at the farm is not good and to be able to go afield and watch/listen while in a particular spot would be advantageous. Please consider that.

[@jessehanger]

I tried out my first mock scrape this year. I was skeptical at first but boy did it work. I checked my camera last night and had 2 shooters and lots of does and fawns on it. Thanks Jeff!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Awesome to hear Jesse!! ☺️ You are very welcome!! Enjoy them they are a lot of fun!

[@jackoneill6292]

If you remove the licking stick , the scrape will not be used anymore. Were rubber gloves cut it out and zip tie to the stick at your mock scrape.

[@davidtisch5237]

Accuweather is awesome thanks Jeff I just finished reading All Weather Whitetails

[@bradleymartin8499]

I want to convert a cow pasture 2 switchgrass next year so I'm wondering wat I hav 2 do 2 make that possible?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Bradley if you have the equipment you can till right now and spray weeds when they emerge in about 3-4 weeks. You can then follow the frost seeding steps... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX3Yi4WqgbKnnrc Hope that it all helps! You can also spray if weeds are not too high and frost seed still...without tilling

[@randlerichardson5826]

That shoulder surgery set me back this year

Mr. Sturgis should do a vid on how to train your residential deer

[@studentoftheoutdoors3348]

I knew i was addicted to this stuff when i thought "ugh i shouldn't have peed before i came to my land! I could have started a scrape, what a waste" LOL

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Lol...that is hilarious...got to save some, 😁

[@myronlaidler8034]

Morning Jeff,any way to make my mock scrape more attractive than the significant number of natural scrapes on the neighbors property?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Tex! Definitely the hanging vine scrapes placed in the middle of a trail or flat spot are by far the best over natural scrapes. You can maintain them forever and keep them right in front of a treestand. Natural scrapes are typically just hit by bucks...the mock scrapes that I use are hit by all deer

[@myronlaidler8034]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thank you, I have noticed i'm getting more pics of Does and fawns but not seeing the 2 mature bucks i let slip past me last October. Hoping they will show up pre rut!

[@joeslaughter1162]

Do you tie your vine on a tree,or is it best for a hanging branch,which do you perfer,great video and good luck this season

[@blzn04]

Ok so i have a question on when its ok to do this. I ask this because every year i hunt kansas for a week. We drive up, scout, hang stands, kill, come home. No pre scouting. We normally hunt mid-late October during pre-rut. The field edges always have at least 7 or 8 scrapes along the edges. Basically every overhanging limb at the proper scrape height. Would cutting down all but one of these in the middle of season be too invasive? Thanks

[@JayN4GO]

No bc chances are they are hitting them after dark

[@stevegermain1222]

Great video great ideas hey have a tough fight time understanding how that guy could put out 500 scrapes mental midget comes to mind and I'm sorry to be negative as always I appreciate everything you're doing 8 days here then up the tree I hope

[@williamlasure6301]

On public land people do that for u!! Cut down my scrapes !! Pounding my scrapes I did last year. It's like they need a season to get used to them

[@jimpeterson3806]

Wish I could do that to a few areas on public land. Along with hanging a licking branch. It's just not fair! Lol

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Definitely check the local laws for hanging a scrape on public land ☺️ I hope you can Jim!

[@briargoatkilla]

Awesome content, Man. Got a place I've hunted for years that has a few scrapes behind me that occasionally get me winded. They will be gone soon! Other than that I got two words for ya...SILKY GOMBOY.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you very much...really hope it helps! I like smaller, compact tougher saws...love my old wicked saws, had them for years! Other than that...highly prefer my Stihl 131 😁

[@ericjenson7734]

Here’s the deal, if you are going to get rid of a scrape location you would have to bring in a backhoe and dig all the dirt out to get rid of the scent

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

The scent in the scrape means nothing...in fact deer only per into it largely during the rut. They will use the kicking branch 365/7 if don't properly with the mock scrape techniques I teach. The dirt m and nothin, at all...all in the licking branch. No licking branch...no scrape. Check out the 30 scrape videos in my mock scrape playlist. You will find no other collection of this caliber online...lots to learn and I hope that it helps! kzbin.info/aero/PLmV8Ilexgmhee-6E06udW874E3ZoYWRfz
