Congratulations 🎉 to your new addition. My daughter wasn't planned, but she's definitely a blessing. She loves the outdoors and fishing, just like her dad. I just purchased a new 40 acre property and can't wait to introduce her and the boys to hunting.
I love me some mock scrapes. Warm fuzzy feelings when there is a nice buck checking it out. Enjoy the topic and congratulations on the new bundle of joy.
Have one at every stand location if not a water hole or food source. I even have some at Food source now stands just to get shot, love the knowledge shared guys.
Congratulations to both of you on the addition of Lily to your family!!! I've used the mock scrapes for the last 3 seasons. First year was unbelievably productive but it really decreased the next 2 years. Any explanation or ideas to fix this.
I haven’t used a rope and probably won’t but what about Don Higgins? That’s what he uses. He does very well. Congrats on Lilly, and keep up the nice work.
Hi Jordan! I think he has in the last few years? Couple of years? We've been doing this 2 decades 😊 And he in the past went to a couple dozen parcels a year at most. I've been to roughly 1600. Just experience wise I've been in a position to see both, 10s of thousands of times. Up to 500 rope scrapes on 1 parcel alone. Just experience...it matters 😉
Hi, Congratulations on your new child! Glad everyone is doing well! I have a wild vine hanging over a deer trail, but they aren't touching it? Game camera shows them walking by, and once in a while they (doe) look at it but walk by. It's hanging down to my belt line, so not to tall. Any suggestions to get deer to hit my mock scrape and vine?
Other than a rope being unnatural I think the biggest reason a vine or branch works better is the weight of it allows for better pre orbital gland secretion
It's stiffer too, which really matters. Think about a natural scrape...horizontal and very rigid! Until it breaks. I went from seeing the ropes on so many parcels...in MI largely. They were used marginally at best. This is going back 20 years ago. It was enough "gimmicky" that I never wanted to try it out. Then I thought of using vines in their place and the results were immediate and incredible. So many I visited went from ropes to natural vines or branches...and the rest is history 😊 Whatever the reason, natural is by far the best...
Jeff, how would you go about making a mock scrape with no real available trees for hanging? I’d like to hang some along some heavy trails in wetlands on my property. Thanks!
It's just simply called experience. Some folks get butt hurt in the hunting industry because they have none 🤷🏻♂️ But when you have the most...flaunt it so folks can know the difference and weed thru all of the bad information out there. It's a public service, really 😊👍
So many of these habitat experts want to talk about hemp ropes and how the deer like them more! I’m going to say BS how can you compare to a natural vine
I've seen thousands of them...enough to fully compare and a rope is a long ways off from something natural. You know when someone is a newbie in mock scrapes, when they use a rope 😊👍
Women absolutely rule the roost. Any man pretending his woman isn't trying to tell him what to do is a liar. Any woman pretending she's not telling her man what to do is simply too busy herself or can't find him at the moment.
Hey man, there is nothing wrong with your situation. You don't have to lie to yourself and pretend we're all the same as you just to make yourself feel better about it.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 No. I lucked out big time finding one that puts up with my trash and finds me funny a quarter of the time and pretends I'm tolerable for the worst quarter I've got. I just have to learn to quit pushing her buttons all the time.
Im not a hater, long time listener. But she needs to place the mic further away her, because breathing is very nassally and makes it hard to listen to the podcast.

That is awesome!! My oldest is a girl too, and there is something special about a dad and his daughter... especially when you can take them hunting 😁
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 it sure is. Yes the love between a father and dad is special.

Congratulations to Both of you 👍🏻🙏
Thank you very much!!
Congrats on the little one! I must say my man, You hit the Jackpot with that woman! 👍
I have been very blessed! 2 beautiful little babies and my older 3 kids...I am a very lucky man!
Congratulations family. Glad to hear Mom and daughter are doing well.
Have one at every stand location if not a water hole or food source. I even have some at Food source now stands just to get shot, love the knowledge shared guys.
Congratulations you two. Thanks for all of the great info. Make sure you raise a Spartan! Go green!
Ha, thank you so much...we will see about that 😁
Amazing Video!
Keep Crushing it Jeff.
All the Best Carlo 🇨🇦

Had three does hit mine 3 hrs after putting my first one up 4-6-2024
Pretty dang cool Nathan! We've had quite a few within an hour...no scent ever added either 😊
You guys helped me bag my first deer last season. With A good food plot and stand placement between the food and bedding..
Started making mocks because of you, and killed my target buck off one this past season.
That is awesome!! They are so dang effective...

Would you suggest planting fruit trees near scrape / stand? Hazelnut, pear, apple…
Hi Jerry ..not typically, at all. I would plant those on food...near bowhunting spots.
Jeff, how would you go about making a mock scrape with no real available trees for hanging? I’d like to hang some along some heavy trails in wetlands on my property. Thanks!
Do you have any recommendations on what type of tree branch to use in the southern states? Also, does a fresh cut branch work best or matter?
I use vines in Louisiana per watching this channel and they work quite well.
Just waiting for the day that the DNR to consider mock scrapes as baiting and helps spread cwd
I will say, when it comes to bragging ,you have no equal! LOL You know what they say about the biggest braggers? Yes sir!
