Has anyone tried freshening up a scrape with the dirt from another scrape. I walk my dogs around the outskirts of my home town during the pre rut and come upon numerous scapes. I was thinking of collecting the dirt in a zip loc baggy and dumping it's contents on scrapes around my stand sites. I think it will drive them nuts, your thoughts.

logic defines that by all means it should... as long as it isnt contaminated . it would be quite hard to bag an uncontaminated sample tho.... everything you have used to transport the dirt would be contaminated with human scent

Good point, maybe I'll try using a spade and an ice cream bucket that was soaked in water and baking soda to collect my samples. I work with a guy who said his buddy would build mock scrapes next to an active scrape and it would bring in the bucks.

im intrigued as well... keep us posted... you never know bud !?!?!
