I am taken my son out next Sat for youth day. Not much on camera but s nice buck was on there.my I know the buck are running doe if I buy doe in heat do I put it out a few days before or the day of .to bring him in .

Save your money, bottled doe pee, in controlled scientific studies, has never been proven to attract deer.

Corn will bring the does in. $6 50lbs = does. I have had deer investigate buck urine during pre rut and straight doe p but never had anything come to tinks 69 code blue etc

Don't use it waste of money... it's not fresh who knows when it got bottled and I think it keeps the bucks from not coming in to you...

I've had mature bucks follow my estrous soaked drag rag to the spot where I hung it on a branch,  grunting the entire way.

 

I feel it is all a matter of timing. Next week it cannot hurt to drag a rag to increase your sons odds of getting a shot a buck on youth day.

Deer scent works if it's quality, and fresh.....what you see in stores is garbage. I only use and always had positive results with http://www.predatorch.com also scent control is first and foremost, if they smell you they will bolt

I've always had luck with Trailmaker by Bob Kirchner he's fairly local and stuff is always fresh .    http://www.bobkirschnerdeerlure.com/

Thanks for the information I already have the corn out but not much on it .

The buck was attracted to the overhanging branch, not to the bottled doe estrous.

Lots of other empirical evidence on this site seems to indicate a contrary position.

Yes scents don't work.....these 3 were killed yesterday afternoon and this morning on drag lines created with my scents....

BG, that article seems to talk about scrapes with/without any attractant added to them.

I don't think that can be extrapolated to things like hanging scent wicks or running scent trail drags.

I think the hanging of the scent drag on a scrape licking branch is secondary, unless you're suggesting that buck that came grunting the whole way along that scent drag trail was just coincidental to the buck really following that same trail blindly because the scrape was on it's course.

I don't know, I've seen too many guys have too much success with scents to believe they are useless/worthless.

I personally have had little success with them outside of striking curiosity (never an all out, nose to the ground hunt of that scent)...but even with that said, the experiences of others lead me to believe they can be effective given the right conditions, right scent and crossing paths with the right deer.

How many stories have we read of a buck cruising in the distance, which hits a scent dragged trail and suddenly B-lines it right to the hunter.

Your belief is that is shear coincidence?

Had 3 separate bucks follow my estrous soaked drag rag to the exact spot I positioned it this morning between 6am-730. No mock scrape, licking branch, nothing.  

 

It was like a buck parade, unfortunately not the buck I was looking for. It definitely increases the odds of placing a buck in range during this time of year, in my opinion.

Order the scent from predatorch. You'll get it in a day or two. Soak a rag and drag to your stand (not from your car). 50 yards upwind. I'll be doing it next Saturday with my son as well. Good luck.

I put this cheap stuff out yesterday I had 4 different bucks come check it out. Last year I had one come right to tinks. Scents work just put a scent wick out the day you hunt.
