Yes. Any number of methods work. From requiring a cookie to requiring CSS to be loaded to a PoW to a JavaScript redirect. Most scraper bots are really dumb. If you do it cookie based, you can also put a poison link on every page that invalidates their cookie and starts returning poison on every page after that, so they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
