That's what I'm talking about... 

Cabin, how'd you get licking branch?  From another scrape or is the whole set-up artificial?

[Rebel Darling]

Nice!  Gotta freshen up a scrape now...

That's an existing limb off the crabapple tree. All I did was cut twigs and leaves off of it to make it look more appealing. I tear up a mock scrape under it every year and whiz in it every couple of days, until the bucks start maintaining it. It's exactly 25 yards from a stand.

nice video.  not sure what your standards are but hopefully something you like passes on thru to check it out during daylight hours.

The bucks have been tearing the scrapes up in the past week!

[Taylormike]

Awesome!   When is too late to establish one?  I won't be back down for couple weeks, too late by then?

Probably not. If you put them in a high traffic area, they'll usually attract attention soon after making.

I found a huge rub earlier this week. I had to take a whizz anyways, so I made a scrape ~3 yards from the rub. I also set up a cam and got a video of a good buck come by to check it out ~10hrs after I made it. (Video, so click on image)

Very unique rack on that buck! Soooo cool!

I've gotten several pics of him weekly for 4-6 weeks now, but none during daylight. Seems like no matter where I move my cams to, he shows up.

Been neglecting my scrapes due to low activity. Might be time to start again
