Quick Answer
Mixing buck urine with other attractants can enhance the effectiveness of your mock scrape setup, but it's crucial to balance and choose the right combination. Excessive amounts of other attractants can overpower the scent of the buck urine.
Choosing the Right Attractants
When mixing buck urine with other attractants, consider the types of scents that complement the buck urine. Doe urine, in particular, is a good choice as it creates a natural blend of scents that bucks associate with estrous females. Aim for a ratio of 1 part buck urine to 1-2 parts doe urine. You can also add a small amount of attractants like ethologist or trail scents to create a more complex scent profile.
Setting Up the Mock Scrape
To set up a mock scrape, start by clearing an area of about 10-15 feet in diameter, removing any leaves or debris. Use a mixture of 1-2 ounces of buck urine and doe urine, applying it to the area in a circular pattern. You can also add a few drops of ethologist or trail scents to the center of the scrape. Use a stick or branch to scrape the area, creating a natural-looking scrape. Avoid over-scraping, as this can destroy the attractant mixture.
