I have a mock scrape out now with a camera on it. Ive done this the last 3 years. All kinds of animals stop and smell the scrape. What really surprised me was squirrels and rabbits come to it daily. I think they are after the salt in the urine the deer deposit in the scrape. Deer activity at the scrape picks up Oct 1-10, Nov 1-10, Dec 1-10, Jan 1-10 and Feb 1-10, runs right along with each month's rut period. I usually start the scrape each July-Aug by urinating in them and the animals do the rest. I do like Parker Bow and set the scrape under a hanging grape vine. The camera shows most bucks smelling the vines. h.h.
