Fooling The Nocturnal Bucks-Making A Mock Scrape

First thing you will need is a urine dripper.  Don't run out and buy one; they cost too much and don't work well.   Make a dripper out of a small plastic container like this one:

Drill 1/8" holes in the top of the bottle for the string and drill another 1/8" hole in the bottom.  Fill the bottle with cotton balls.

You will need doe in heat urine and buck urine.  

Bucks often travel trails and treelines.  Make a mock scrape:

1.  Find a  a small branch about five feet off the ground.  This is the licking/rubbing branch.   The deer rub their facial glands on this branch.

2.  Using something like a garden tool scrape the leaves off the soil in a 24-30" rough circle.    

3.  Scatter about  an ounce of doe in heat urine in the scrape.  Scatter about an ounce of buck urine in the scrape.

4.  Hang the urine dripper from another higher branch so it will drip on the scrape.  

5.  Fill the urine dripper with doe in heat urine and buck urine mixed.  The cotton balls absorb the urine and prevent it from leaking out too fast.  Re-fill the bottle about every 7-10 days.

This is a pretty good article.  All these guys go super wacky on scent control; i wear nitrile gloves, that's it.

Thanks for the info on the dripper.
I have made scrapes but never experimented with the dripper.
