to make one all i do is find a good overhanging branch and scrape it out with your boot ...put nothing in it ...make these about every 25 yards ....wait a few days and check back ...some of them will will get taken over by a buck\bucks ...last year i made about 15 and i think 8 of them got taken over by bucks ...this year we have the tools\ funds available to us to will have some trail camera video of some scrape action ...good luck ...
