Mainactive Branch Mock Scrape Kit

Wildlife Research Center has introduced the Active-Branch Mock Scrape Kit, allowing users to create an attractive mock scrape and interaction branch set up wherever desired. The Kit Includes a Branch Holder, a Mounting Strap, a Magnum Scrape-Dripper, and four fluid ounces of Golden Scrape Scent. Golden Scrape Scent blends estrus and intruding buck scent, with scraped earth and musk, making it the perfect candidate for an active scrape kit.

One can set up Active-Branch on a tree or wooden post in the perfect location for the perfect shot. If there is not a convenient place to mount it to, a post or stake could even be driven in the ground to screw the Active Branch to. Once in place, the patent-pending branch holder allows the mounting of two branches at the same time. This allows for an interaction branch at the perfect height for presentation, and a second higher branch on which to mount a Magnum Scrape Dripper. This configuration both gives a buck a reason to visit, and something to do when he gets there.

The Magnum Scrape-Dripper can drip for two two three weeks at a time on four ounces of Golden Scrape Scent, before needing to be refilled. It works off warming daytime temperatures to drip daytime-only—this helps condition bucks to visit during daytime hunting hours, helping knock them off their nocturnal routines. The longer it drips, the more the scent intensifies, getting bucks more and more riled. Whether a dedicated woods hunter, or a property manager with a wide variety of terrain to consider, the Mock Scrape Kit should suit every conceivable shooting lane and scenario.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
