When should you start your mock scrape? I believe that starting a mock scrape depends on what you’re using for the licking branch. On our properties the deer primary scrape under white oaks, beech trees or grape vines. If we’re using either the white oak or beech tree branch we like to get those out in late July or early August. You want to have leaves on the branch so putting this type of scrape out now wouldn’t be as beneficial. Those leaves act like a sponge and soak in all of the scent the deer leave behind, one of the reasons why I believe deer use those species as they hold their leaves much longer than others. If you’re using the grape vine as your mock scrape then I would get that started whenever you can! The sooner you can get the local deer to incorporate your new scrape in their routine the better! Scrapes are communication hubs and are used year round so starting one in April is a great idea. The only time I would NOT be putting out a scrape is during the season. The deer will notice it and you’ll have tipped your hand. The risk outweighs the potential benefits.
