Bucks leave forehead gland scent on overhanging branches year round. We believe, they scent mark these branches to convey their social dominance in the deer woods. These scent marks are basically social sign posts for other deer to visit and display their presence as well as dominance. The Scrape Generator will stimulate fresh forehead gland activity and often encourage Bucks to make scrapes and exhibit rutting behaviour long before the pre-rut and the breeding season. Regular use will increase over marking activity, start hanging Scrape Generators well before the season and continue all season long.
