One of your best pieces of advice. I am flabbergasted that people insist on using ropes and fake leaves and spend foolish money on mock scrape "equipment". I've had my best success with free grape vines from the woods. Thank you mother nature.

This system is hunting gold. After watching one of your videos 2 years ago I switched ALL my scrapes to vines. My scrapes have been exponentially more consistent with at least half of them becoming perennial hot spots!!!

I would say that 9 times out of ten, I at least get doe and fawns hit the licking branch the evening of the day I put it out. Learned this system from you and absolutely love it! Thanks for the great info. Crazy thing is, this year i have bear cubs and raccoons hitting one also. I adjusted the height to just above waist level and now they just walk by.
