SCRAPE HUNTING TACTICS That Actual Work

My heart was literally in my throat. After watching the specific buck I was after drop down the point, of course he had to stop and work the truck hood sized scrape, as I was sure he would. Unfortunately, the only trees that covered the scrape offered very unsafe winds. So. I’d setup another 70 yards “downwind” of the scrape. Though doing so was mission critical, it was causing me an awful lot of stress right now. Of course, that wasn’t helped by the doe and fawn that were literally looking through me, at the buck refreshing the scrape.

Finally, he was done and still following the script. Hitting my shooting lane, his attentions shifted to the alluring scrape odors dripping from the Magnum Scrape Dripper I’d hung over my mock scrape. Turning to give me a gently quartering away shot, as he began working his second scrape in 60 yards, I watched as my Mathews send the Easton vanishing through his boiler room. Less than 50 yards later, the hunt was over and tag filled.
