Well, I have started mock scrapes last week.  I put preorbital on the mock licking branches, and interdigital in the mock scrape.  7 days later, the velvet is off, trees are getting rubbed and I have recorded about 10 different bucks, some are shooters.  That is a huge deal it has been so worthless to hunt my land as pressure form others is so high.  I have started a few mock rubs and put some preorbital on them, and also put a very few drops of tarsal gland in the scrapes.  It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Seems pretty early for the tarsal. They might paw around a little bit though. That preoritial will draw them all in. Bucks, does and the young ones too.

I am going to try the preorbital this year and need to get started.  I was thinking of ordering the interdigital at the same time.  Would you recommend doe or buck interdigital for use in scrapes/mock scrapes?

I used to use an inderdigital by HS scents... it disappearred from the market.... then liked bowhunters set up.... Then it went wierd....

I am gonna order a bottle for the early season...

I usually like to smell like nuthin... But interdigital seems to work till they get pressured...

bearbowman,

I thought it was early for tarsal as well, but smokey suggested it so i gave it a try.  I will check in a week and see if it screwed anything up.

Update... Gene and I checked some set cameras yesterday. We had one set with pre-orbital that had five different bucks on it in one frame. Within 25 yds. we found the first three scrapes of the year and they were already dug deeply into the ground, not just half-hearted scrapes. The buck that did it was a beautiful, very symmetrical 4x4 that would go right at 140" but needs another year ot two. Then last week I cut down a juniper tree that was about 5" in diameter, then dug a 2 ft. hole in the corner of a hidden field. Sunk the tree then poured some cement in to keep it in place. Yesterday afternoon I "rubbed" the mock rub with my saw, then trimmed up two of the overhanging limbs, made a scrape under each limb, put Smokey's pre-orbital on the limbs and a couple drops of buck inter-digital in each scrape. THIS MORNING we checked the camera and had two different bucks already hit the scrapes with a photo of the one doing the overhead branch thing. I'm telling you guys, the stuff works great. By the way... this is NOT a paid endorsement! Best of luck. BW

Never had much luck with scents but I just placed an order for some Pre-Orbital & Inter-digital lure from Smokey's. We'll see how the deer here in NY like it.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Fred,
Thanks for the info on the bow. I seen you at Smokey's seminar (Denton Hill). Wanted to introduce myself and get some pointers. Smoke said you are a trapper and know what you speak about.
