Kyle, yes, that is a green sapling I add to stiffen up the rope. The bucks seem to prefer rigidity. Viagra doesn't work on rope :>)

Gene...you ever pee in the scrapes?

The blacktails I hunt don't make many scrapes, but I plant treated posts out in the mountains and pee on the posts and surrounding ground. The bucks rub their glands and antlers on the posts, and quite often they pee on their tarsals before they leave the area. Here's one of my trailcam videos...

Good info Gene. Yeah, I'l take a couple gallons of that scrape water.

Great Idea Gene. Thank you for sharing.

Gene: (or anyone) do you have a real dripper above and into that rope? Or do you simply add scent to the rope at the top? I just read about similar setup in Bowhunter mag, and he mentioned Gene's rope as well.

Charlie the Lamb: Perrier or Ice Mountain? I wonder if you'd get in trouble for using salt water? BW

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #28 on:** October 16, 2015, 07:20:00 AM »

Depends on whether the salt is Kosher or Sea Salt.

I had never thought of this before, but it makes total sense. What if you just pee in the scrape?

Been freshening scrapes with my “home brew” for years.
Last year I had a cam set over a scrape under a dogwood branch. I would freshen the scrape when I checked the cam. Nine different bucks ranging from a spike to a 145” ten point used the same scrape.

You and Barry are geniuses. Eventhough everything you come up with I think "Doah!!! why did I not think of that". Early Happy birthday and hope all is well with Donna. Cheers

Excellent finding...thank you for sharing

Gene,
Good info. I have had success with just tearing up ground with a rake after they had dried. I agree, they seem to smell the fresh earth. That smell is caused by mold etc in the soil but also microscopic organisms called actinomycetes, I am not sure if I spelled correctly, but I think they smell it and check it out for curiosity sake.

Due to his knowledge with whitetails is why I like to call him Geneeus.

Thank you

If you open brothersofthebow.com website and go to the free reading section there should be a complete article addressing the technique. BW
