Getting any bucks hitting yours ? Crap ton of does and fawns hitting mine. Going to freshen it up tomorrow and put in another one on a different property and hang a cell cam over it  

 

Yes, I have cameras over 3 of them just off of bedding and they get used year round.  They just started to paw at the ground but they all get checked year round. 
 

sorry just saw you said mock scrape, but if they like it should be getting used.

Glad I’m not alone 

I may be wrong? But I do think location plays a big part in this. I've made mock scrapes that were not hit at all or very little.  Then, like the rope scrape I made last year that saw very little activity.  I moved it this year 300 yards or so and it is getting hit by multiple bucks and doe's. Same exact set up as last year. With the same amount of deer in the area. Just a different location.  I have seen over the the last few years that deer WILL visit a scrape you make yourself. And then, sometimes not at all. But for reasons only the deer seem to know, location is the key.

So if you aren't getting a lot of deer to your scrape, just try moving it a ways, but in the same area, where you know there are deer. It just might make a BIG difference?

Years of hunting an orchard and fields always reminds me that natural edge scrapes are often almost always nocturnal, but they're still fun to find
