Trying something different this year. I made a couple mock scrapes using some 1” jute ropes with a little black widow branch butter applied to the rope. One of the scrapes is about 25 yds from my favorite stand and the other is in the same spot I’ve had a mock scrape in for years with a camera on it. Hopefully as Fall inches closer some bucks will start to use it as they normally do throughout the season. I've had great luck with the mock scrapes and rope. I don't apply anything to mine though. Good luck and I hope you have great results!

Never tried the rope. I’ve got vines I’ve hung, need to replace 2 of em as they are wore down to about 6’ high.

I went to my brother's farm Saturday and checked two ladder stands and all good. I have another that I'm moving so the deer don't look right at me on the trail when the deer are about 70 yards out. Stand is down, but my bad knee had enough. I plan to go down one or two more times to get the stand up in the big wolf tree and check a hang on stand before September 16th. I still have to check my box blind. Mostly, to get the wasp and bugs out. I figure after knee replacement, my prep work is finished. Trying to get it all wrapped up before hand.

I got the 1 acre food plot broadcast planted today. Boy was it dusty! Radish, Turnip, and Whitetail Institute No Plow. I seeded about 50% heavy, hopefully it rains tomorrow/Friday.

Lch got his wish. Rained a bid in our area and enough in the forecast for next few hours that I will probably unhook the boat I had about an inch at my house by 0600. Another little wave went through after that. Should be a good start for the 2 little spots I seeded yesterday, hopefully we keep getting some timely rains for the next few weeks.

Update on the sorghum. The seed company claims this will grow to 3-4 feet tall - this stuff is over 6 feet! Gonna be tough to see deer in there.
