Was going to try and put a line of mock scrapes in this year. When do you guys start making them? I read that you should do it before they do. But dont want to be way to early. Any help with tips and tricks would be awesome.
here in iowa we can’t hunt until October 1st and they will hit mock scrapes right away just seems its always at night. I think I even got some pics from September of bucks at scrapes I made.
I am going to try a few mock scrapes at a few of my hunting locations this year as well. I am going to try to start them this week. I have read that that find a good licking branch and putting some pre orbital scent on the branch will then entice the bucks to make a “natural scrape” in that area. I will be interested to see how it works. Report back with your findings! 
we start treating our licking branches in August, I also spray roundup under them at the same time. most will be active scrapes by mid to late october
