The Wild Game Innovations 393 Active-Branch Mock Scrape Kit creates authentic deer attraction sites that trigger natural territorial responses throughout the hunting season. This complete system combines scent application with visual stimulation to establish productive hunting locations where deer naturally congregate and leave sign.
What Makes This Different
Unlike passive scent dispensers, this active-branch system mimics the natural overhanging branch component that deer instinctively seek when creating scrapes. The kit includes specialized hardware that allows hunters to position scent-holding branches at the optimal height and angle. This three-dimensional approach replicates the complete scrape environment rather than just ground-level attraction.
Key Features
- Complete mock scrape system with mounting hardware and scent application tools
- Adjustable branch positioning system accommodates various terrain and tree configurations
- Weather-resistant components withstand extended outdoor exposure
- Includes instructional guide for proper scrape placement and maintenance
- Compatible with all major deer scent brands and attractants
- Portable design allows relocation based on deer movement patterns
- Durable construction handles repeated seasonal setup and breakdown
Field testing demonstrates that properly maintained mock scrapes increase deer activity in targeted areas by creating focal points for territorial behavior. The system proves most effective when established 2-3 weeks before hunting season in areas showing existing deer sign. Regular scent refreshing and ground disturbance maintain the site's effectiveness throughout the rut period.

This system addresses the complete scrape environment rather than relying solely on ground scents. Hunters who establish multiple mock scrape locations create a network of attraction points that channel deer movement into predictable patterns.
