A mock scrape only works if it smells alive. The problem is that scent breaks down fast once it hits open air, and running out to refresh a scrape every day isn’t realistic for most hunters. Wildlife Research Center built the Magnum Scrape-Dripper Combo to solve that exact problem — a dispenser designed to feed a scrape small amounts of scent over time instead of dumping it all at once.

What’s in the Combo

The package pairs the Magnum Scrape-Dripper with a 4 fl. oz. bottle of Wildlife Research Center’s Golden Scrape, a scent built with the company’s Scent Reflex Technology. Together, they’re designed to keep a mock scrape working for an extended stretch without a hunter needing to physically be there refreshing it. You can also find Magnum Scrape-Dripper Combos with Active-Scrape or Hot-Scrape. 

How the Dripper Works

The dripper is built around a few specific behaviors:

• Daytime-only drip — the unit is designed to release scent during daylight hours, aimed at drawing bucks to the scrape while they’re moving instead of overnight when nobody’s watching.
• 2–3 weeks of run time — on a single 4 fl. oz. bottle, the dripper can operate for roughly two to three weeks, depending on temperature swings.
• Gradually intensifying output — the scent release is designed to build over time rather than stay flat, aimed at increasing interest at the scrape the longer it runs.
• Weather shutdown — the dripper is designed to shut down automatically during rain and bad weather, which helps conserve scent that would otherwise wash out or go to waste.

Why It Matters for Scrape Hunters

Mock scrapes and licking branches are only as good as their upkeep. A dripper that manages output on its own — dosing scent during the day, backing off in the rain, and stretching a single bottle across weeks instead of days — takes some of the guesswork and legwork out of keeping a scrape active through the season.

The Bottom Line

For hunters running mock scrapes as part of a pre-rut or rut strategy, the Magnum Scrape-Dripper Combo from Wildlife Research Center offers a hands-off way to keep scent fresh at the site without repeat trips into the woods. The combo retails for $27.99.
