Same Old Way of Deer Hunting

Maybe you are set in your ways or have a great deer spot where you don't feel you need to change a thing to be successful when hunting Michigan whitetails and that is great.

Perhaps you enter the woods each year, set your bucket down, and wait for something to come to shoot. That is fine if that is working for you, but if you are looking for something new that will revolutionize your hunting location, not just for this season, but for years to come. There is something new that I will share with you.

Hemp Rope Mock Scrape

My neighbor follows all these hunting groups on Facebook and a few weeks ago he sent me a video of hunters using hemp ropes over their mock scrapes and the deer seem to love them and come back to them for years.

The hemp rope works great when the branches are too high for the deer to reach. Plus the hemp rope is durable and will hold up for several years because it won't break down like other ropes.

You use it like a drip bag but you pour your deer scent up on the rope about 6 to 12 inches above the frayed end and it will drip down. I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube researching videos of this technique and it's amazing what you will find. You can get some hemp rope or buy one that is pre-made here. I will be adding two of these to my property and you better believe this is what a few of my hunting buddies will get for a Christmas gift. Here is another link that will get you to a ton of hemp rope videos. Check out the video below that takes a deeper dive.
