I have found that bucks will trot down a scrape line periodically and they tend to follow the same route most of the time. I have found that if I put doe in estrus scent leading to the shot zone near my stand and hang a scented tag on a low limb, they often will come over to check it out. I don't hunt right over a scrape unless I want to get a doe... does will occassionally come over to smell a scrape or broken limb near the ground.

If you doctor a scrape(s) frequently you may be able to entice the buck to show himself by rattling or grunt and bleet calls. I typically set up about 75 yds downwind of a scrapeline as the buck will often check that line from 100 yds or so downwind. if he is using the scrapeline during shooting hours, you'll see and can adjust your set-up. Scrape activity to me says that bucks are using the area and it's worth hunting there, but not neccesarily right on the scrape.

Amen Big O!
