Create Mock Scrapes That Actually Work

[@josephcraven2840]

Joe C, Dinwiddie, Va. Great videos, I really like this .60 mock scrape, it’s 10-11-24, I have a little parcel that I will be putting this scrape in tomorrow, I have plenty of deer in there mowing acorns from a couple white oaks back there right as well are speaking. Thank you so much for your knowledge in this matter. Good luck out there in Minnesota this year. Once again thank you.

[@srgtkankles]

I've been using Jeff's strategies for mock scrapes for years. Totally works. I live 5 mins from Cabelas,and I was there past 3 days since I had my youngest and my 4 little league baseball players attending hunter education. I noticed scrape rope kit is over $50. I use veins and call it a day.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man that's crazy stealing folks money for inferior results 🤦🏻‍♂️ Feel bad for folks...

[@jasonmcrae2675]

Jeff, the vine setup is the best. I've been using it for years, thanks to you!

[@SnappySnapfire]

I live in East Central Mn and I hunt in berch forest I hung berch branches works very well Thank you for sharing this

[@donaldberg3068]

Been doing this for 5 years , again thanks jeff one more bit of knowledge that u have given us free of charge. SORRY if i got out of line with a commenter i didn't agree with , couple weeks back !

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Oh Donald...man I appreciate you! No problem at all 😊 People are crazy on here at times. They come to the channel with jealousy, ignorance and an agenda. Bad combo, lol

[@BigE95]

Thanks for this Jeff! I’m going to use this method to make my first mock scrape. I was looking online for products but you changed my mind. I’m going to try your method. Thanks again!

[@RodneyComer-p3g]

Hi Jeff, I have the exact mock scrape as in this video. I have a camera near and many deer come by it everyday, but none have even noticed it. I listened and have not used scents! Thank you for everything

[@paulgroth5414]

Jeff we added these to our setups and the results have been incredible! We have used your foodplot ideas and have had great results with no till plots, thankyou for sharing all this info!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's awesome to hear Paul...really appreciate the feedback!!

[@SmithsOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you guys soooo much taking ur advice I've seen so many deer. My wife and I love you guys !!!!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man that is awesome...pretty cool you can hunt together! Jen and I are hunting right now too 😊

[@bretthagen2389]

I have one at every stand or blind! Learned this from you jeff, 5 years ago. Thanks it works great!

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Great video, using that mock system since I started watching your vids a few years back. It works. Thanks for the great content.

[@Ethans_Outdoors]

Thanks Jeff perfect timing! Heading out to the property in Michigan today

[@MrTrapper1111]

Shot a stud NYS public buck last season on this scrape along standing corn. I’ll use these rest of my hunting career

[@chuckzenz55]

I've bought and used the product The Vine, I've used a straight branch/stick about 1 inch diameter and 4 to 5 to 6 feet long tied with string, I've even pulled and dangled an actual vine that you find growing up trees and ive tied a real vine onto a branch too. Nothing seems to be better than a real vine, but either way, these are phenomenal and I couldn't be happier that I found this concept from you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@louisgiardina8918]

Jeff your system works fantastic. I don’t have my own property and I hunt state property in New York a 5500 acre forest . I found a great spot that resembles a T in the hardwood section that boarders thick pine section with a little stream truly a beautiful spot . I set up your system around 4 years ago right where the T’s meet and what a set up it has become . I only shot one nice buck but my hunting time is only on the weekends and extended weekends 3-4 days max but the pictures of some truly monster bucks 3 to be exact were unreal does ,fawns, small bucks hell I even have several bears passing through. Unfortunately the big boys were all night pictures . I bow hunt this spot 75% and gun hunt it 25% . Remember this is state property in New York it doesn’t get much attention bow hunting but it reminds me of a Wisconsin hunting spot during gun season a lot of guys and they camp on the property. Just wanted to let you know your system works everywhere not only on private property thanks again and keep the vids coming P.S I also piss in the scrape.

[@Jonnydeerhunter]

I can attest to your method. I've had excellent success on private and public here in Ohio. They start using it the same day usually. I won't hang a camera without a licking branch now.

[@amsbaugh8198]

I have done this with great results. The branch I used made It 5 years and I just recently replaced the branch because the old one broke in half. The deer were hitting it the night that I put it up

[@bowmadness1333]

Awesome integrity! That's why we believe in you and enjoy learning from you.

[@AdamBHill12]

I love this method! In Alabama, I use either pine or cedar, since that’s what my bucks seem to rub on. I like to leave green needles about half way up it, if possible. It may not help, but the videos look cool! Thank you so much Jeff!

[@makeyourownluck5822]

I sprayed round up on a heavily used vine scrape in August and they never scraped the ground that fall. It was crazy. Nothing else changed except a mowed trail through the switch 10 yards away.

[@MollyDogg1234]

I've been using your vine method ever since I stumbled upon it years ago on one of your videos. I can't even begin to tell you how many photos of big bucks I captured on these setups. I've even killed a few big ones that were working them. I drill a hole through my vines, run the rope through it, then tie it. They seem to hold on longer that way.

[@1231terrence]

I follow you channel for a while now great info I live on 2 acres of property that butts up to my neighbors 3 acres what are some ideas for that small amount of land to attract the deer in my area they already come to my fear, but not a lot a few bucks and those are more prevalent. Any insight would help

[@OklahomaState]

Best location? I’m assuming not near a food source? Maybe where trails cross? Topography?

[@Hollowjus]

I tried to do this last year, not a single deer looked at it lol. I did put it on a flat area with lots of deer travel but to no avail. I used a muscadine vine as the licking branch but I think I'll give up on this lol.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Make sure you use something they naturally rub or scrape...very important!

[@Hollowjus]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Okay, I will try again. Unsure what to use though as the bucks used this one tree during the early season and then it was never touched ever again.

[@outdoorsinc.8261]

Great video as always WHS. Best thing about this is the honesty. Also if i bought a rope a year ago and its been out there should I remove it? Lol

[@derekschenk4296]

Great video Jeff!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a lot Derek!

[@transamguy9073]

Wow great vids. Good to no u dont need scent. I never did a mock scrape but mite have to try it

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You HAVE to try them...so dang cool!

[@ChrisBontrager-w9v]

Hi Jeff great information maybe I missed it but what is an ideal distance from the ground to the end of the vine? Love your video very informative, thank you

[@MohrWhitetail920]

Looking forward to trying this. Question though - I'm hunting public land, what would the affect of numerous people doing the same thing close (within a 20 acre radius) to the one I set up?

[@stokeandspoke1177]

just hang a branch over any solid deer trail and they start using it? Thanks for the video, just wondering how exactly they know to use the branch. I was lucky enough to set up a camera and tried to make one, and a big buck came through and used a branch behind mine until the branch broke off the oak tree. This morning I tied that branch back up over the small scrape it made. Figured it's already scented up, and it already worked better than the one I tried to make. I used the gland scent and they didn't care at all about it, I was just so lucky the natural licking branch was already behind mine.

[@marchhair01]

We're in a pretty bad dry spell down here in SE OK. It's really hard to even scrape the ground with your boot the soil is so dry. Should I go ahead and get started on a mock scrape with licking branch best I can or should I wait for some soil moisture?

[@peterfurman3991]

How do you set your camera settings so the wind doesn’t set it off with the branch blowing in the wind… thanks

[@ScottOwens28]

Great video and info. What's your thoughts on tarsal gland drag rag techniques - can it help or not? Also, does the tarsal gland have a somewhat different scent than straight fresh pee? TOA! 👌👍👊💪

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jeff

[@jackrapier6748]

Quick question: I live in northern Arkansas. Power company just did some work and left behind some exposed dirt, is there any seed I could throw down right now to have some sort of food plot? Thanks

[@shredpow]

So where can I buy this "Zero Scent" he speaks of?

[@DogTown192]

Any suggestions for us northerners who don’t have vines in the area. Branches get destroyed pretty fast from bucks.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Jack pines branches work very well when hanging...so do oak and even Hemlock is pretty decent. When they are hanging from a small piece of Paracord they last surprisingly well ..

[@Buelford]

I live in Manitoba I don't think we have vines, what a Willow Branch be good too does it really matter what type of wood? I know it's a stupid question but figured I'd ask anyway

[@michaelfaulds2277]

As I watched this video, I wondered if using a tree that a buck had used for a rub would be effective.

[@Albert859]

Do you think scrapes would work for our deer where I live on Vancouver Island?

[@jackjohnson7236]

Can we put one out now or was earlier in the year better?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Great time now Jack...as long as you aren't spooking deer to do so

[@tomh2156]

I'm new to using mock scrapes, when is the best time to put these out?

[@1bghppy]

The bucks on my property seem to primarily use maple trees for scraping under and also for rubbing antlers on. Does that mean I should use maple for my mock scrape?

[@tylerdzugan9596]

I have setup this setup in locations that do not have vines anywhere near. And they love it. I highly recommend using the vine over anything else.

[@preplife533]

Sweet bay and juniper coastal sc

[@jeremypresgrave1488]

Can you put mock scrapes on public and see the results. Where would I want to put one on public mtn land?

[@troybrake5686]

I seen that jug that has a rope and some scent and they was outrageous, first thing I thought was i have vine everywhere and some scent, I ain't spending any money on that crap! I bought a bucket of good mineral and a bag of clover for around the same price! Don't fall for these gimmicks boys! That reminds me, does anyone remember the bone collector ( rubline slime) ? I wonder what ever happened to that junk!?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man that's some crazy stuff Troy!

[@owen75463]

How many mock scrapes do you use on your property?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Owen! 1 for every stand location

[@davidyontz09]

Ohio opener 2 weeks away hunt or not just feels good its here dont no if you remember the property walk at my place but my wife and I had our baby last week

[@jackjohnson7236]

Gloves?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

No need for gloves

[@BG-bx4ey]

I'm not sure if I did it right, but my deer keep standing on their back legs and kickboxing my vine...

[@whitehondarider22]

I sweat my balls off walking into where i want to create my mock scrape, cut off my white tighties and hang them in a tree branch and let my ball sweat drip into the dirt… It drives the deer absolutely nuts

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Awesome, highly proven tactic! Some would say you are a little nuts tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@drewharman1690]

It amazes me how people are taking something like this and trying to sell you a branch or a vine that you can get naturally from the woods!

[@kurtpearson2793]

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Lightning fast 😁

[@ashleydog45]

$.60? You're paying too much for wire ties.

[@ashleydog45]

Or using too many.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

If you listen to the video....rope. Paracord. I would never use wire ties nor are they of any use 😉 again tho, watch the video 👍 before commenting...

[@mikemellon80]

Dog45. Let’s just😢 say he is using wire ties, which he is not, not sure where you got that. But if it was true why even comment that you get wire really cheap

[@whitehondarider22]

Well they are so repetitive some people just come here for the comments
