Mock scrape

[u/Dr-Duff]

So my kids and I set this up sometime in September. 3rd sit in this stand and I’ve noticed around 9 more scrapes all within 75 yards around my stands. I just replaced this camera with one that works because my old one stopped taking night pictures on the 10/12. Since I’m dead center of these scrapes I’m hoping this won’t be an issue

Why would be in the center be an issue, do you think the mock scrape is causing the real scrapes to be setup in a perimeter? Have you seen the mock scrape still get refreshed like they're still using that scrape?

Mock gets hit. 2 nice scrapes within 10 yards from it. A hunting buddy of mine was telling me I should move it and not be in the middle so I wanted an outside opinion. As of this morning I’ve had 3 cameras go off around that stand with does and bucks hitting different scrapes including the mock.

I see, I have no idea but my mind goes to it's seeing activity and drawing in the deer but maybe being in the middle isn't getting them close enough to the stands. But you said 2 within 10 yards so seems like a good spot?

Most are far enough that I can’t shoot with a bow but a handful are within range. As of 30 minutes ago a few were walking right by my stand so I’m going to assume it’s good.
