G.R.O. Hemp Rope Kit
–
Introducing the Hemp Rope Kit, a strategic tool for enhancing your deer hunting setup. Each kit includes 6 untreated hemp ropes, each measuring 3 feet long, along with 6 zip ties for easy installation. Hang the ropes from branches approximately 3 feet above the ground to create mock scrapes underneath. Strategically place these ropes around 20 yards from your deer stands to attract deer and encourage communication in the area. Additionally, consider creating multiple mock scrapes across your property to further attract deer activity.
It’s essential to refrain from applying any scent to the ropes until hunting season begins. Allow the deer on your property to naturally use them as communication areas. When hunting season arrives, you can use “Intruder buck” or single source deer urine to attract new bucks to your property. GRO recommends Wags cover scents as the preferred supplier of deer urine for optimal results.
Enhance your hunting strategy with the Hemp Rope Kit and leverage the power of natural deer communication to increase your chances of a successful hunt. Visit our hunting store today to get your kit and start preparing for the season ahead.
